Lol, when did I disagree with your reasoning? At most we disagree on the meaning of ‘local model’. Have a nice rest of your night, sister.

I bet you don’t own or like an absolute gob of them but it doesn’t change their usefulness

I was commenting based on my experience with this stuff, it was a lot of work to set up and the results I got were bad. I never even contended that it could be useful (but I’m reading selectively), I said you that you need decent hardware for it to be useable. I have an RX 6800 XT and 32GB of RAM and it was really slow, even with recommended models.

Jfc why even comment if you’re gonna be so dumb and selective with your reading?

I tried to engage in good faith, and you proceeded to call me an idiot, sorry I reacted poorly to you being rude. You get what you put in.

Just because you don’t understand a tool or how to properly use it does not mean someone else doesn’t.

You brought up the Kimi model up in a conversation about local models being viable, something that requires 8 Nvidia GB300s as a prerequisite. And I’m sorry I don’t follow you’re little hobby close enough for you, I did try it and it sucked.

If you want something useable you need a decent amount of RAM/VRAM and a modern GPU, things that aren’t exactly accessible these days. That Kimi model is apparently half a terabyte in size and requires 100s of GB of VRAM, so I don’t know why you’re saying it’s a ‘local’ model.

They’re really leaning into the email similarities here, not a fan of moving the sidebar to the other side but I’ll get over it. My biggest wish on the UI front though is for them to add a threaded view for replies like what Bluesky has, navigating long threads on Mastodon can be really taxing just trying to follow reply chains.

Why not just use something like Wordpress? Plenty of web fiction is already published on it and it federates.

Confirmed: the only divine church is the Church of Emacs.

The best part is that this won’t even work, the max page size in Lemmy is 100.

Seems to be a bug in Piefed’s linkify code for punycode. It’s transforming the the double hypen into an en dash.

Detrans.ai is on X, the everything app

Modern fascism in one sentence.

I know, I read the description. It just looks like a nicer syntax around setting up a tokio runtime and sending code between runtimes. It’d still be nice to have a non-tokio options so stuff could be single threaded.

Fallout 4 maybe? The main gameplay loop is gathering junk to get parts to improve your equipment.

Huh, that pretty cool actually. I need to play around and see if this works with gtk-rs, channels get fairly annoying if you need to use them a lot.

And if you find the borrow checker annoying in async rust, that’s mostly a tokio issue. Look into smol-rs as it offers alternatives

This is great until you want to use a library which is tokio exclusive, which is most of them.

Sure, but I’m just pointing out that these are different features that happen to be named the same thing. I’d also point out that something that doesn’t federate can’t really be called part of the fediverse, which is what OP was asking about.

The Wikipedia article for D links to this blog post which seems pretty damning.

Piefed’s private communities are local only, ie no federation. The Lemmy 1.0 ones do federate.

Lemmy 1.0 will have ‘private communities’, which are communities whose posts can only be viewed by approved subscribers. I wouldn’t trust this though, you can’t guarantee other instances running other software will keep the posts private, so I’d only trust this if you host the instance and allow list vetted instances, which just opens you up to the problems mentioned in the other thread.

Your best bet is an e2ee messaging app with group support. People will recommend Matrix, but the moderation tools kind of suck and it can be very resource demanding to host (from what I’ve heard, I don’t host Matrix). Signal is what most privacy people will recommend but I don’t know how accessible it is in Iran given it’s centralised nature. The XMPP people will inevitably speak up and they’re probably even right, but I’ve never used XMPP so can’t speak on it.

Then you can just block the user agent in nginx or whatever you use, like all the other AI scrapers who ignore robots.txt (*cough* Amazon)

The point is that there’s going to be no difference, soon Google search will be just another chatbot interface.
