Ruined?

spaduf , 19 days ago to Fediverse in An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by pixelfed has just successfully tested federation.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it'll be in the beta.

I dunno if 'Siri but functional' is good enough to get points from me. That said this is definitely good for the industry

I mean the biggest innovation here isn't the "AI" (partially "on-device" or otherwise). It's exposing the apps action hooks to the model.

This isn't actually innovative it is just not OpenAIs business model. This recent trend is honestly a much smaller blip than most people recognize.

Let's be honest. They certainly plan to, but first they're gonna see if saying "Apple Intelligence" a bunch is going to convince people they actually did something innovative.

Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

I was having similar issues with the zigbee ones, and I believe it was a known issue with the way transitions were implemented. The solution ended up being to set short transition times across the board. Not sure if that's applicable here, but it may be worth a try.

spaduf , 3 months ago to Privacy in Finally got rid of telegram, congratulations to me

I think the big reason that nobody's mentioned yet is simply that they were earlier. Back when projects like Tox and Matrix were first starting to pop up, telegram was already fully formed. Signal didn't come until at least a year later and didn't have feature parity until several years later. Telegram by contrast was a much closer experience to WhatsApp and Messenger, making the transition much easier, particularly for low-tech knowledge users.

Worth noting, they have since publicly apologized

They’re an insane troll imo

Worse. They're a well known Mastodon admin.
