Thank you. Gonna save the link for when I have a use case and/or want to play around

harsh3466 , 3 months ago to Fediverse in Lemmy's Image Problem (Updated 02-06-2024)

As a user, I love lemmy, and I want to thank you and the other devs that work tirelessly to develop it.

Also as a user I value the ability to manage my data, and hope to see image deletion implemented when you’re able to do so.

After having read the Nightmare piece, my decision was to stop posting images directly to lemmy. To share images, I’m going to self host an Imgur like service so if I do want to delete an image, I can.

I’m not a developer, and can’t contribute code to address the problem, but, at least for myself, I’ve got a solution I can implement.

Could be because, iirc, Amazon is starting to move away from Android.

That’s cool. I haven’t looked at any local/foss llms or other generators, largely because I don’t have a use case for them.

I’ve been opting out of the internet at large. It started a few years back just disconnecting from social media, but as AI has begun to pollute everything and enshittification ruins everything, I’m just kinda done with it all.

I’ve been enjoying Lemmy, and I’m hoping Lemmy doesn’t turn into an AI circle jerk.

As a result I’ve been building out my server with services I want to use that I control so I’m not trapped by enshittification or inundated with AI where I don’t want it.

With all that being said, I know AI is here to stay. My biggest problem with AI is these companies gleefully gobbling up our data, our art, our words, our creativity, using it to feed and train, and to make billions, while we get nothing. It would be one thing if all these generative models were open source and freely available for everyone to use and benefit from, but that’s not the case. I know there are open source models, but the big ones are all paywalled and in many ways being weaponized against us.

At some point I hope generative AI becomes a boon to society. Right now, I’m too cynical to believe it will. I feel like it’s just going to make things worse for the majority of people.

harsh3466 , 4 months ago to Technology in WordPress and Tumblr Plan to Sell User Content to AI Companies

There are A LOT of self hosted Wordpress sites out there. Many of them you wouldn’t know unless told they were Wordpress (I believe both The Verge and TechCrunch use self hosted Wordpress). I myself have two self hosted Wordpress sites. Though I’ve been considering moving away from Wordpress for awhile now.

Shit like this should be opt in by default. But no. Instead of respecting the users they count on ignorance, forgetfulness, and obfuscation for this kind of fuckery.

I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Agree. I have a couple of wordpress websites on my server that I was already considering moving to another cms. Regardless of them implementing this on .com and/or .org, I think long term I’m going to move away from wordpress.

Not that this is good regardless, but I imagine this pertains to wordpress.com users, and not people/organizations using wordpress to host/develop their own websites on their own servers?

You’re welcome!

Slow as a web server? I’ve only poked around it a little bit, the very little I did felt responsive, but I put no real load on it.

It’s another dashboard like homarr. I set up homarr and homepage side by side to pick one and landed on homepage. No specific reason, I just gravitated to it over homarr.
