Rimu@piefed.socialto Futurology@futurology.today•A new study published in Nature Machine Intelligence introduces a wearable AI system designed to assist blind and visually impaired individuals with real-time navigation.English1·16 hours agoThat’s pretty cool. Lots of potential for richer warnings than a beep on the right or left too, like a voice saying “a bike is Infront of you, move right 2 feet”.
Rimu@piefed.socialOPto Fediverse@piefed.social•Moving communities between instancesEnglish5·1 day agoYes, for sure. I think the old community would

activity to all followers, which would cause all the other instances to update their Follows to point to the new community.
Rimu@piefed.socialOPto Fediverse@piefed.social•Moving communities between instancesEnglish2·1 day agoCan you recommend an instance?
Rimu@piefed.socialOPto Fediverse@piefed.social•Moving communities between instancesEnglish5·1 day agoIt doesn’t do subscriptions. That would need to be initiated on the old community and currently all the old communities are on Lemmy instances, so that’s a non-starter.
Rimu@piefed.socialOPto Fediverse@piefed.social•Moving communities between instancesEnglish7·1 day agoThe process outlined above is “co-operative” in the sense that the moderators of the old community have decided to make the move and initiate the process themselves using their piefed.social accounts.
But also anyone could choose to ‘fork’ the old community, with or without the old community mods involvement. The old community would not be locked and would continue as-is while the local copy of it would then be a separate community with all the old content in it. They would then diverge from that point onwards.
I imagine there might sometimes be a need to reverse this process too, to re-associate a local community with it’s remote counterpart. Or to merge two communities…
Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE, lowered expectations of the group’s savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
So, a failure even on their own terms.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse•Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people?English5·2 days agoThis idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with “Labels” https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.
We’d need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can’t just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.
It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.
Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?

Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse•Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch?English71·5 days agoImagine you want to write a competitor to PostgreSQL and you start out by importing SQLite into your project and building on top of that. To you it seems like a good idea because you’ve never written a DB app before and the only DB you’ve ever seen before is SQLite. You’ll get a prototype real fast but you’ll never build a PostgreSQL equivalent because you never learned the foundational knowledge of how a DB works and because SQLite forecloses all the pathways you need to get there.
Same thing.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse•Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch?English193·5 days agoBecause outsourcing your core business processes is a bad idea. A fediverse app that relies on a library to do all the fediverse stuff is going to have a bad time. Not straight away, but eventually.

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.
After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.
