I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.

I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.

I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

A couple of years ago, QR-bills were introduced in Switzerland as a means to make payments easier. My bank provides an app to scan the QR codes, which I prefer not to install. The only other option they provide to scan the codes is to use the webcam. Am I supposed to print my digital bills to have my webcam scan them again? Just let me upload a goddamn screenshot.

A little overconfident as usual imo

Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I'm happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.

Step by step, it seems, YouTube is evolving into something that has previously been called TV.

I totally agree regarding making it optional, but I have to say the idea of auto generating alt texts sounds like a really useful application of AI - no one really likes to do that manually yet a significant number of beautiful people rely on it.

I've been looking into self-hosting LLMs or stable diffusion models using something like LocalAI and / or Ollama and LibreChat.

Some questions to get a nice discussion going:

  • Any of you have experience with this?
  • What are your motivations?
  • What are you using in terms of hardware?
  • Considerations regarding energy efficiency and associated costs?
  • What about renting a GPU? Privacy implications?

Believe it or not, she's now running a graphics design studio.

My sister and I figured out that we could draw. On the windshield of our neighbours car. Using stones.

Just imagine the license fees.

The fact chromium based browser are going to be allowed as well makes me nervous.

MuPDF Viewer works fine for me. Not very feature rich tho.

An interesting trend graph of the most used distros for gaming and their adoption by users over time.

Just wanted to share my happiness.

AIO is the new (at least on my timeline) installation method of Nextcloud, where most of the heavy-lifting is taken care of automatically.
