the other decent options are matrix and simplex chat, and mayyyybe session. matrix seems to have the most users and kick to it right now. out of those options. but yeah youre not gonna get the average tech illiterate person to get on a more complicated alternative to discord, essentially

Only reason I’d recommend signal to anyone is that its one of the few encrypted apps that doesnt have awful onboarding. A boomer can figure it out.

huh? how does one pill of ibuprofen do that? or is it taking it like every day or a drug interaction

i mean to what degree does it even affect your liver from taking one pill when you occasionally get a headache?

like it cant be worse than one beer, right

hexbear’s trans comm just hooked into one! super cool

FUTO Keyboard is really nice imo

futo keyboard is 100% local and has ai prediction

It isnt pseudoscience, theres some papers out there on locked in syndrome and they have a system that is very good at reading thoughts with something like 75-85% accuracy. Requires very sophisticated and large equipment to use though, and it has to be trained on each person individually (through things like yes/no answers with blinks or focusing on saying one word, so its not some sort of thing that can just be automatically done, it requires a great deal of consent and concentration on part of the staff and the patient). Its very possible this could be downsized and made more available in the decades to come, its still in the early phases.

lemmy, im a content piggy. make more content for me to stare at blankly. thanks

everyone is a sap for beta testing a game for 8 years, lmao

I was sketched out by their move to get rid of inactive free accounts, but this is nice to see. Really hate the idea that if I’m unplugged just for a bit I lose a ton of contacts.

AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I’m fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it’ll put it way above the competition

Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs

traumatizing people as kids to be productive members of the capitalist system

Do you happen to know what metadata matrix stores? I assume matrix.org specifically stores email and username, right

how has no one discussed matrix here

thanks, that lets me load it into my setup much quicker. i do environmental research so this will be useful

still a bit of a shame no safetensors or gguf

tragic that it doesnt include a gguf or safetensors file for easy access. ill load it up eventually. this would be very useful for invasive animal research

which llm does he use

youre just thinking about it wrong. get an llm going, voice to text, and have a synthesizer copy your voice. 99% of your workload is now gone, no more endless meetings, and you got notes that can be quickly summarized.

lets just hope that they dont ask you what 27 times 38 or something is. could maybe prompt it to say ‘Lets circle back around on that in an email’ whenever a complex question is asked, lmao

who on first impression is giving Western chauvinism vibes

🤣 im a communist, dweeb. you dont have to be a communist to think misogyny is bad, in fact, thats the prevailing opinion almost everywhere. the idea that the global south is in some way inherently reactionary is absurd

all youre giving off is chauvinistic reactionary misogynist vibes. jesus christ this place is a shithole, good luck getting anyone that isnt a white guy and/or a techbro here. all im getting is you got a handful of bigoted buddies that you hang out with and are completely uninterested in introspecting on it
