jherazob , 4 days ago to Technology in Mozilla Firefox new alt-text generator powered by "fully private on-device AI model"

I don't want an LLM to chat with or whatever folks do with those things, i want a command i can just install, i call the binary on a terminal window with an image of some sort as a parameter, it returns a single phrase describing the image, on a typical office machine with no significant GPU and zero internet access.

Right now i cannot do this as far as i know. Pointing me at some LLM and "Go build yourself something with that" is the direct opposite of what i stated that i desire. So, it doesn't currently seem to exist, that's why i stated that i wished somebody ripped it off the Firefox source and made it a standalone command.

Since it's been mentioned a lot this week because of these changes, here's David Revoy's guide to a fully FOSS professional digital painting setup, not perfect because many, MANY things aren't working as they should yet (both the move to Wayland and to Appimage/Flatpak have complicated things and lots is broken), but he guides you to a setup that works today.

There's also the option of different commercial stuff (The Affinity suite, DaVinci products, etc.), but i'm a bit biased

The AI techbros wanna scare you with tales of AI becoming sentient and going rogue to destroy us all, when corporations, mindless machines made out of people to maximize profits at all cost, are already doing all that

So, it's possible to build but no one has made it yet? Because i have negative interest in messing with that kinda tech, and would rather just "apt-get install whatever-image-describing-gizmo" so i wouldn't be the one who does it

jherazob , 6 days ago to Technology in Mozilla Firefox new alt-text generator powered by "fully private on-device AI model"

Now i want this standalone in a commandline binary, take an image and give me a single phrase description (gut feeling says this already exists but depending on Teh Cloudz and OpenAI, not fully local on-device for non-GPU-powered computers)

Wait, it supports bangs? That's the #1 thing that keeps me specifically with DDG, once i have some time i'll have to explore this (probably not earlier than a couple weeks though)

jherazob , 1 month ago to Privacy in Why people don't talk about Google Maps' privacy issues

My issue with these is that my use case is public transport, for that it seems like GMaps is still unbeatable, i hope to find an alternative as good or better based on OSM soon because it's the one tool i still have no alternative to
