This sounds like plugging a service to an LLM is a way of doing away with UX people. Just hope that the word salad will somehow match what the service's (invariably badly written) human-readable descriptions of its API, because if you don't have to pay an UX and front-end team to ADD A BUTTON TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF then it must be a win.
(I am not criticizing this person's experiments, which are fine, but the larger scheme of things.)
my husband made it so the home assistant voice assistant can use full-on ollama to interpret instructions. then he told it to turn the lights on. it's been explaining its thought process for over five minutes now and the lights are still off.

Auf LinkedIn verteilt ein Sehender ein KI-Tool, mit dem man Braille-Schilder für den 3D-Drucker generieren kann.
Dazu hab ich eine Frage: Wie?
Kein LLM dieser Welt kann auch nur einfachste Dinge fehlerfrei in Braille-Basisschrift übersetzen.
Sehr wohl aber kann man Schriftpunktmuster einfach mappen. Wofür muss so Scheiß dann also aus einer KI rauspurzeln, wo niemand der das anwendet auch nur die Chance hat, das zu prüfen?
Ich hab’s so satt.
Swiss surveillance could become worse than US
If passed, chat, email & VPN providers from #Switzerland must:
🚨 Log IP addresses
🚨 Ask for ID upon sign up
🚨 Decrypt data upon request
Swiss Bundesrat is still discussing this draft bill, decision will likely be made in 2026.
Let's fight for #privacy! 👉 tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surv…

If I had a time machine I would go back in time just to screw with myself by telling young me the truth:
"Your TV will be connected to a computer that tells you lies"
"A college education will become worthless relative to its cost"
"The biggest dipshits in history will be running the whole country, including the Oval Office"
"You will go to Petsmart to buy weed for your dog"
Here's a proof-of-concept example of a Delta.Chat bot for .NET
It's pretty basic, especially since I can't get #open-rpc-generator to generate #csharp code, seems to be limited to #rust and #typescript
To use it, follow the `import` instructions and provide your own implementation of `IMessageProcessor`.

Google’s “AI overview”, pointlessly appended to their usual weather forecast for my suburb:
“The weather in XXX is currently sunny with a temperature of about 17° C ... ”
The forecast already states the current temperature, but no, it is not “currently sunny” as it’s 10:23 pm.
The forecast by itself is perfectly understandable. It does not need a summary, an overview, an interpretation, a Reader’s Digest Condensed Version.
FFS, Google, is this what you’re building new data centres and buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to do?

public.monster wont do editing; edit on your own computer, the one in front of you!
Use your favorite text editor! Mine is LunarVim! Want to get fancy? Use a static site generator (like 11ty). Build on your machine, upload. Simple. #learnhtml
I had problems a while back with cloud storage. A lot of my files got corrupted. I tried another service but it also didn't work as expected.
So I moved to local storage again. I'm using a pen drive to work with files that I need to take with me. Everything else is on my desktop SSD.
My public.monster site was all written from scratch. I didn't use a static website generator.
I didn't know about LunarVim. I have to give it a try. :)
What are the benefits for Geany of porting it to GTK4?
The editor/IDE #Geany is still #GTK3 and the hampering factor was that the editing engine #scintilla wasn't ported to GTK4 but it exists now.
However, one of the main developers questions, if there are any benefits at all in porting Geany to GTK4:
"I wonder if anyone would find motivation for this. As said in #3675, in my personal opinion there are no benefits at all in GTK4."
github.com/geany/geany/issues/…
@GTK @ebassi @gnome #GTK #Gnome
Port Geany to GTK4. As Scintilla is now ported to GTK4 (see https://mastodon.social/@bugaevc@floss.social/115507432930694449), it would be great if Geany would be ported to GTK4 as well bringing al...GerryT11 (GitHub)
integration on Linux
probably means "integration in Gnome". Using other DMs feels rather less integrated. You might say that's the responsibility of the other DMs. Fine.
Users might judge differently.
if the current maintainer doesn’t want to spend their time
Just for clarification, we are not talking about "the maintainer" here, just my personal opinion about GTK4. Geany is maintained by a team of developers and I do not represent the team as a whole here.
@GerryT
I'd like to keep the discussion in github.com/geany/geany/discuss… as it is way more visible to Geany related developers and users than here. Thanks.
There are a number of probably big changes being examined or coming in the future. The point of this discussion is to record and discuss them. Blue sky thinking is encouraged, but implementability ...GitHub
@eht16 To given an overview of the current state of #GTK4 adoption. Out of the active GTK open source projects 71% use GTK4, and 29% still use #GTK3 as of today (#GTK2 not counted). This is an increase of 9 percentage points since Nov 2024. This means that GTK4 will likely crack 90% of active #GTK projects in 2028 (and probably plateaus at such share).
Additionally, 90% of GTK4 projects use #libadwaita (#Gnome), and 6% of GTK3/GTK4 projects use #libgranite.
Ich denke, wir brauchen dringend eine positive Erzählung, was nach dem Kapitalismus kommen könnte.
Aber so, dass sie sich konkret an der Lebenswirklichkeit und dem Sprachgebrauch ganz durchschnittlicher Menschen orientiert.
Und nein, "Anarchosyndikalismus", "klassenlose Kollektivordnung" oder "Rätekommunismus" sind da eher ungeeignet als Einstieg ins Gespräch.😏
Ich muss das überschlafen.🥱
Sie ernähren keine Kinder, heizen die Wohnung nicht und schneiden unseren Kranken und Alten nicht die Fuß- und Fingernägel, während im Nebenzimmer das Baby aufgewacht ist, die Katze auf den Teppich kotzt und der Partner/die Partnerin anruft um Bescheid zu geben, dass sie/er Überstunden machen wird, um die Zusatzkosten für die neue Waschmaschine aufzufangen und es darüber hinaus sowieso später wird, weil einige Zugverbindungen ausfallen, oder es Probleme mit dem Auto/dem Fahrrad gibt.

Darüber hinaus wird „Normalsterblichen“ von gesellschaftspolitischen Vordenker*innen unermüdlich das Gefühl vermittelt, ungebildet und unterentwickelt zu sein, weil die Inhalte, die sich hinter den wohlfeilen Ausführungen der "intellektuellen Elite" verbergen, ganz selbstverständlich vorausgesetzt, aber so gut wie nie entschlüsselt und konkret mit Leben gefüllt werden, weil ... das könnte mensch doch alles längst wissen, wenn mensch sich doch nur mal interessieren und schlau machen würde.

I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️

People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.
Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

I urge people to not give their DNA to corporations. Once the corporation goes into receivership, the Nazis will buy your DNA data. Your entire family, including people you've never met, will become fodder for their racial animus, and will be targeted.

RE: floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/1155…
If we may ask once more for your help here: there are still 15 "niche apps" left at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… – and 50+ other dormant apps at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… needing a "quick check".
If only 1 out of 10 of our followers would each pick a single app (we've highlighted each app's purpose in the lists, to make selection easier), each app would be covered 10 times over 😉 (unless all pick exactly the same app, that is 🤪)
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Dear #IzzyOnDroid community, we need your help for keeping our repo as useful as possible. No tech knowledge needed for this one, so anybody who's got an #Android device and some spare time can jump in here:codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every…
Are you using any of those apps, or would be willing to install one (or more) of them to see if they are still useful? Please then report there, or here to this #serviceToot – so we can get that issue solved 🙏
Thank you all in advance!
