Hey @nextcloud I see you made "AI" the "centerpiece" of Hub 8?
https://news.itsfoss.com/nextcloud-hub-8/

What model are you using?
What data has it been trained on, and by whom?
Can I recreate your model from scratch?

Edit: the "centerpiece" part might have come from It's FOSS News, although Nextcloud messaging around AI is similarly excited.

@tfiebig wait so the "centerpiece" of @nextcloud is actually missing from the product?

I'm confused, that does not sound right.

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@tfiebig thanks, I do appreciate it!

But I'd really like @nextcloud to respond, too.

Istnieje jakaś sieć społecznościowa, albo frontend Mastodona, który działa bardziej jak RSS i pozwala mi wyświetlać nieprzeczytane wpisy i oznaczać je jako przeczytane?

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@alldragonsaredead Mastodon i niektóre inne rodzaje instancji na fedi dają udostępniają kanały RSS kont i hasztagów dla publicznych wpisów.

Na przykład:
https://mstdn.social/@rysiek.rss
https://mstdn.social/tags/polska.rss

To nie jest dokładnie odpowiedź na Twoje pytanie, ale może pomoże?

Several of the major social media platforms - Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter - have effectively declared war on linking to things and I absolutely hate it

"Link in my bio" / "Link in thread" / "Link in first comment"... or increasingly no link at all, just an unsourced screenshot of a page

@simon referencing sources is a revolutionary act.

Perspective: the biggest carbon capture plant in the world sequesters 1 millionth of our annual emissions. We would have to build a million of these plants to not_increase the CO2 level. And we need to decrease the CO2 level.

Carbon capture is a scam.

@szakib not to mention the CO2 emitted while building these.

I would love to hear if the plant has sequestered enough CO2 to balance out the CO2 emitted while building it, including transport etc.

Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

@mcc so they get to change what your answers are used for, but you don't get to change your answers.

"Move fast and break stuff" may be a decent tactic with regards to engineering practices, but..

checks notes

..NOT WHEN THE THINGS BEING BROKEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS ,YOU FUCKING MONSTERS

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@koosli yeah, I said it before and I'll say it again:

there's barely any engineering in software engineering.

And even in software development, "move fast and break things" is definitely not a decent tactic in any engineering context outside of very early prototyping.

Screw Silicon Valley bullshit.

Another data broker is telling me that they have a „legitimate interest“ in scraping and selling my data because they need to for their business. 🙄 That is not enough.
When someone claims legitimate interest, they have to show that your rights and freedoms do not outweigh their interests. „We want to because money!“ does not quite do that!

Time to prepare my next complaint.

Okay, so, podcasts are great but sometimes I prefer to read instead of listen. 🤔

So what if – hear me out – there was a thing like podcasts, but for text! 🤯

It would still be distributed via RSS, you could still follow them and automagically pull them to your device. But instead of audio, there would be text. ✏️

👉 We could call them: textcasts!

And get this: I already have one! It was super easy to set up, actually. You can find it here:
https://rys.io/en/feed.rss

@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

Lol, turns out this exists:
https://textcasting.org/

And was created by none other than Dave Winer:
