Spy,

I came to say the same. Magit is like 70% of why I still use emacs

Spy,

You are not wrong, but uBlock needs to be installed on each device and only works on the browser, while pihole blocks adds across the whole network for all devices.

I have pihole but still use ublock on my personal computer

Spy,

Exactly, I can barely maintain a media server I really don't want to be responsible for my passwords and photos. There are secure alternatives that are private and open enough for my needs...

Spy,

At first I tried some self hosted solutions but I didn't like anything, eventually I landed on ente.io/ which I really like.

It has a lot of ways to import your photos, really nice mobile and pc (windows, Linux, and Mac) apps that can automatically upload your pictures in the background, the devs are really responsive (there was a bug with one of the importers so I opened a ticket and I got a lot of help in order to debug the issue and solve it).

The only thing that I don't love is that while the clients are all open source, the back end isn't because they claim they are too small of a team to keep it both open source and secure.

Spy,

Ah my bad mate, I didn't notice you were the same person and the way you wrote your reply made me think you misunderstood the advantages of each and we're recommending to use ublock only

Future LLMs will be progressively worse - and possibly change how humans write

I was thinking about this after a discussion at work about large language models (LLMs) - the initial scrape of the internet before Chat GPT become publicly usable was probably the last truly high quality scrape of human-made content any model will get. The second Chat GPT went public, the data pool became tainted with people...

Spy,

This is already happening though and it's somewhat understandable.
Gpt4 is locked behind a pay wall, and there are a lot of companies that offer twicked versions for specific uses for a price.

Considering the server space, filtering, and training this thing takes, asking for some fee is almost a given.

On the other hand you have the HuggingFace models that try to create an open source space for AI and I really hope that goes well!

Spy,

I have the same question, it's almost unreadable...

Spy,

I think the biggest issue you might have is storage since as far as I understand everything you subscribe to is pushed and saved to your server, at least for a period

Spy, to webcomics

Hey people! r/comics was one of my favorite places to browse in the olden days, and while I didn't use to post myself, I have tracked some of the comics I love and will try to do my part by posting at least once per day (I promise I won't spam).

I hope this community grows and becomes a great place to have a laugh :D

Spy,

It does look familiar...

Spy,

Regarding being asked to prove you are a human even in /api, I believe it's because @ernest had to enable Cloudflare's ddos protection.
I tried using the api but with fedia.io as the base url but unfortunately that returns an internal server error instead:

{
  "@context": "/api/contexts/Error",
  "@type": "hydra:Error",
  "hydra:title": "An error occurred",
  "hydra:description": "Internal Server Error"
}

Maybe the api can be disabled per instance? But I highly doubt that`

Spy,

I don't think the API is fully up and running yet.

Anything that shows up on the api docs should be available, since these docs are usually auto-generated, but for the rest I agree, the priority right now is for the site to be running and as usable as possible. Api, features, and bug fixing can come later

Spy,

While kbin.social's m/technology magazine can only show posts that are made there, the All page you see when you go to kbin.social does show posts from other instances, including lemmy.

Regarding magazines, I believe that over time two things can happen:

  1. Some magazines/communities will catch more traction and become popular and the default across instances. Mind you this is the same problem that reddit had in the beginning as well as there could be multiple similar named subs for the same thing, but one or few became popular over time.
  2. Tools can be develop that will handle similar named magazines as one and display them in a single feed.
Spy,

The only issue I see with kbin itself doing that by default is that moderation might get a bit weird, as there would be no one team responsible for the page, while also complying with all the rules that might apply from different communities could also be problematic.
At the same time creating a post would be weird, if those communities are treated as one then where do you create a new post? Obviously not on all of them at once because then there will N posts in the "front page".

Perhaps having the ability to group magazines and read them as one would make sense, but i don't think it should be the default.

Spy,

I remember reading a post from a parent that complied to the kid's request for only eating pizza for a week. If I recall correctly the kid made it roughly three days before finally asking asking for other food.

Even with that knowledge I'm right there with you, pizza rocks

Spy,

ChatGPT and similar LLMs don't really "know" anything. They can only predict what the answer should look like. This means that they can't be trusted for much and their answers should be reviewed before used, because anything they produce will sound correct by default.

Spy,

Watching it live with the comments and everything is definitely an interesting experience.

Kinda feels like watching internet history being written.

Why don't tables in post bodies federated from Lemmy render here on kbin?

Original: https://lemmy.ml/post/1198728

Federated on kbin: https://kbin.social/m/usmlr@lemmy.ml/t/11395/Match-Thread-Utah-Warriors-vs-Chicago-Hounds-10-00-PM-EDT

Also I noticed that a reply from Mastodon federated to kbin and not lemmy.ml, but replies on lemmy.ml did not federate to kbin.

Spy,

@baronvonj About tables, it has to do with how things are rendered. kbin, at least for now, doesn't support the markdown syntax for tables.

About the comments, from what I understand replies on lemmy should appear on kbin as well, but due to the sudden influx of users some things had to change on server configuration and delays on updates from fediverse are expected for now.

For iOS users looking for an app, there is a quick and easy solution

I apologize if this has already been covered, but I’ve seen a lot of people talking about a need for a kbin app. While I agree that a native app would be nice to have eventually, I figured that quite a few people probably aren’t aware of how web apps work. I don’t use Android, so I have no idea if there is an equivalent...

Spy,

No special url, however I am using firefox, not Chrome. So I was able to open the site (kbin.social), tap the three dots on the bottom right corner, and then "Add to Home Screen"

Spy,

I don't know anyone personally but whenever I hear about it Dianna a.k.a Physics Girl always comes to mind. It looks really terrible indeed

Spy,

With everything going on currently I'd expect those numbers to change fast

I put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy! (beehaw.org)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement....

Spy,

I saw someone else put it nicely:

Two buttons are ideal.
A button at the top for heated reply, and a button at the bottom for the calm and constructive reply after reading what's been said already that is never used

Spy,

I've been using polars from python for a university assignment and I have to admit I really like its api, although I'm still getting used to it.

The to_x methods of series are especially convenient for enabling easy integration with packages that are built around pandas or numpy, while the similar api across languages I think can come in very handy in case I ever have to use it from Rust

Spy,

Titanfall is amazing and I still have a great time playing every now and then.

I'm really excited to see what Gravity Wells is developing
