Linux-powered AI assistant killed off by 'patent troll' in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Just because this company has suffered challenges doesn't mean the efforts are slowing. Anyone interested should look into OpenVoiceOS and/or NeonOS and start hacking. Internally the Mark II is a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2gb of RAM. The case they made is nice but not essential for the hackerish state of the whole idea.

Retiring Pinafore in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

Went ahead and created a fork which is deployed with Vercel just as the Nolan's was (live at https://pinafore-silk.vercel.app/). I enabled issues and plan to maintain it under the Collective Code Construction Contract (C4). Feel free to create an issue or submit patches at https://github.com/weex/pinafore

Just such a mess could be a great test case for C4. Super tempted to setup repos and get it to the point of where a maintainer can press the nice green merge button.

Is there a cowthink?

Just be mindful of coercion paid or otherwise when voting takes place outside a polling-booth.

@meloo@lemmy.perthchat.org are you part of the team? Running a fork? What say you on the maintenance mode?

Not just open source but optional as well. It won't happen because it would hurt the bottom line but I'm glad it's being talked about.

More of a high-dimensional trust vector but I get your point. We won't know the consequences until we try it. Some of the potential advantages are scalability, transparency, optionality, automation, resistance to bots, and decentralization.

My theory is web-of-trust-based moderation can fix this but not on Twitter because they won't allow such an integration. So we should try it on the fediverse. One of these days I'll hook this kind of thing up to Mastodon (watch https://github.com/weex/wot-server if you're interested in knowing when that happens).

What fediverse site has the most complete insights for visualization and statistics? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

I suspect sponsorship on the fediverse is going to be better measured through something at the point of conversion rather than user surveillance. Promo codes instead of impressions.

Are deepfakes a problem? I hadn't noticed.

Two Fediverse Enhancement Proposals have been finalized (codeberg.org)
 

It is with great pleasure that I can share the following two standards documents that were finalized this past week under the Fediverse Enhancement Proposal process:

FEP-400e: Publicly-appendable ActivityPub collections "describes how ActivityPub servers and clients could specify collections to which objects created by their actors belong."

FEP-8fcf: Followers collection synchronization across servers "describes an optional mechanism for detecting discrepancies in following relationships across instances, with minimal overhead and without loss of privacy."

It is hoped that documents like these can form the basis for greater interoperability between services on the fediverse.

Questions for the early pioneers of Cross-platform Federation (lemmy.ml)
 

With yesterday's release of Lemmy v0.14.0 and all of the excitement around federation with Pleroma/Mastodon it makes sense to have a thread just about the federation and what it all means.

Some questions:

  • Have you tried it yet? Why or why not?
  • How do you plan to use this new connectivity?
  • Any problems or friction? What could make such a feature more useful to you?

I've tested talking back and forth in the comments, seen my Mastodon profile from Lemmy, and followed some subs from Mastodon. Since I get audible notifications on Mastodon, I suspect that following sublemmies can be good for jumping into Lemmy Posts in realtime.

I was skeptical if cross-platform federation would find much usage, and it's still not clear which way it'll go, but there's no denying that this kind of development is unique to the free-wheeling fediverse and that this would never exist on CWeb without even bigger tech monopolies.

Being able to try things out like this is one of the reasons I'm spending more and more time here. I mean, how can you not be excited about this kind of experimentation and development? Finally, I can't imagine all the work that went into this and want to give a huge thanks to the Lemmy team for making this work.

Captcha almost impossible (lemmy.ml)

Case sensitivity was I think the extra bit of challenge that I didn't expect. The audio rendition was also only the first character.

I don't see a related issue in the tracker and I'm not sure if this is local to lemmy.ml or global to all lemmys. But, first since I was able to get in, is this a problem that needs to b solved?

Edit: Created issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1640
