Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.

Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.

Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.

Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.

Bonus points if it screams a really loud “PERVERT” alarm if you’re doing something creepy.

If only that was true for smartphones too…

It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

It’s the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA

Let me explain the joke: The G stands for the gravitational constant because you are falling; also God, Gnosis, Gaia. ROUND stands for the curvature of the Earth that you can see from up there. C U stands for the Earth (Gaia) greeting you, implyinv you will meet up in MINimal time.

I think you are looking at work horse distros, like Ubuntu, Fedora, etc… That by now are heavily used for productive work, not personal use. So they favor stability and minor quality of life improvements over shiny new updates.

There’s plenty shiny new cutting edge distros out there that are innovating, e.g. Nix, Silverblue, VanillaOS, all the container focused ones CoreOS, Container OS, Flatcar Container Linux and probably dozens more newer ones I am not aware of .

It is really a Bi-yearly florida man darwinist breeding program to breed the strongest florida man, so the government can use them as supersoldiers

well well well, the archiver becomes the archivee

Probably because 3rd party app stores can’t install apps like the play store can. you need a rooted phone or flash them as a system app to get the same functionality as Play Store. which isn’t something your average Joe will do.

On a normal unmodified phone you have to manually confirm each app you want to install. so no auto-updates in the background etc.

it ends on “insertion”

It’s so ironic that Pixels are the go to devices for privacy roms these days.

All this shit is probably happening at the hardware level too, with 100 different backdoors you can’t remove with your megamind plan of installing a custom rom.

The silicon probably has the ability to live stream all sensor data directly to the NSA using the fanciest ML compression technology lmao.

Any irreconcilable relationship issues can be overcome with hard drugs

I’m just trying to figure out if they are flatworms or bilatera

on a related note, do grey aliens have assholes?

… to automate the economy of the Soviet Union?

devil’s advocate: this will save the vast majority of user (which are completely tech illiterate) from loosing their most important data

lets be real, none of them will use a private or foss backup solution any time soon.

I’d rather not they loose their important family photos for that oh so horrible crime of offending my privacy nerd sensibilities

That’s the point of the repuation system.

It’s a very hard problem, I’ll give you that.

What you need is, each instance and community collects reputation in the federation. then users posting on those instances can collect reputation on those. basically by not being banned or massively downvoted. Your reputation is weighted by the reputation of each you collected it from instance.

Each users identity is tied to some key that collects reputation, that you generate new identities from from for each instance/community/post. Like how some credit card services give you a new credit card number for each new website.

Admins don’t know who you are, but they can see and verify your reputation.

Then instance/community admins can decide if they want a different weighting. For example, to completely disregard the reputation by some instance or make one you like 10x more important.

You could get an ordered list of posts or pseudonymous users based on the reputation. Untrustworthy users will glow like a christmas tree.

That would be one way to do it. It’s hard to make it water tight, but any improvements would be better than the current fediworse.

It doesn’t have to be.

You could keep the general structure and functioning while improving privacy.

For example, by obfuscating post history, anonymous posting or assigning a user pseudonym per instance/community, auto-deleting old posts/comments. All optional features of course. Let instances/communites decide which of these features they want.

Keep the structure of Lemmy with it’s Reddit-like-ness and instances, but give users, instances and communities more control over data privacy.

Sure it’s harder to implement, you need some minimal-knowledge reputation system, but there is nothing fundamental preventing that from being possible.

The nice thing about federation is that one instance/community can stay the same data-leaking privacy mess, if they so prefer. While others could operate analogous to 4-chan (or anything in between).

I would love to have a switch to turn off the autism at will, if that actually worked and had no side effects.

But that seems like an impossibity in this current pharma system.

Patents absolutely destroyed the incentive to sell the best drugs, instead the incentive is to sell dangerous drugs that can be patented and maximally milked for money.

Lemmy is absolute garbage on privacy. I would love a private Lemmy with fine grained privacy controls.
