I can't help but laugh at the note about small start ups lead by 19-20 YOs succeeding with millions of dollars by 'partnering well' and so on.
The success or failure of these AI companies seems almost entirely driven by the amount of Venture Capital thrown at them. A company like Perplexity, with practically zero product, having been formed less than 5 years ago, but being able to put up $35 billion in an offer to buy google chrome... I can't help but suspect that a big part of it is google handing perplexity a pile of money via "Venture Capitalist" screens, to help offload Chrome to mitigate their regulatory monopoly problems. But whatever the details, them having that pile of money is sure as shit not a matter of having a good product / partnering with other industries well.

:::Get to know the robot dog that can clean your house and serve you soda
New machine learning framework bridges the embodiment gap between robots and humans and enables quadrupedal robots to perform versatile movements like pouring soda, organizing shoes, and even cleaning up cat litter.engineering.cmu.edu
like this
Get a robot to ~~help around the house~~ observe your daily schedule, your habits, your every movement, and upload video, audio, sonar, lidar and radar recordings to ~~the cloud~~ probably just an unesecured S3 bucket. And then use all that to profile you, sell you stuff, and send automatic reports to law enforcement about anything that triggers the AI as a possible indicator of criminal behavior.
Oh yeah, sign me right up for the corporate-controlled self-propelled surveillance platform. Maybe I'll get two, so there's never a gap in surveillance while one is recharging.
And if you think any of that sounds paranoid, you should be aware it's already happening with robot vacuums:

While it’s vacuuming your dirt, Roomba also collects data on you: Next, it could be sold

It's highly unlikely that this thing would be able to operate without an Internet connection. There's no way it would have enough compute power on board to do a significant amount of image recognition (find the socks, pick up the socks, find the laundry hamper, deposit the socks in the laundry hamper) or voice command processing.
I hate to disappoint but I am not some secret agent hiding a bunch of shit.
This is a very bad attitude to take towards your personal security, and part of the point I was trying to make is that there's a very high chance that a device like this would have poorly secured software. When you look at incidents like the multiple Wyze security camera breaches, you have to expect that consumer security is always an afterthought for companies that make these kind of products. They will only start to care about it after something goes wrong and gets public attention (because it threatens sales), after which they will make a token effort to fix the problem (just enough to get a headline saying they did, so that it will stop hurting sales). So, don't just think about the manufacturer/distributor having access to the surveillance data this thing will collect. Think about random people on the internet, a criminal with an interest in blackmailing people, or some random van driving by with a bunch of network gear on the back.

General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
I'm away from my desk for the next few days and so I'll likely be posting more open ended discussion questions.
Recently I've been thinking more about the decline of forums of yesteryear and how hosting a forum has always been rather niche.
That got me thinking about how one of Reddit's "killer features" was that just anybody could create a subreddit. The same could be said about Facebook groups as well.
You don't get that with forums, only the admin can create categories/forums, and by extension that usually limited the rise of general interest boards, and more towards niche topic-focused boards. It also meant that basically every board had a "general discussion" board or "random" board.
Would there be interest in NodeBB supporting something like this... Basically, the ability for anyone to set up a category and instantly moderate it, and build your own sub community inside a community? Does this ruin the magic of forums?

Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club NodeBB publishes the ActivityStreams "Article" type, which Mastodon current doesn't have good support for.
One way around it is to send summary with the full text... but then some other software thinks it's an uber long content warning. There's no winning :sweat_smile:
I think this should be reported to GoToSocial devs, because they can use name as content warning for Article objects.
Maybe there is already issue for that, but I couldn't find it

[bug] `as:summary` is used as content warning descriptor for object types other than `as:Note`
### Describe the bug with a clear and concise description of what the bug is. * Mastodon in the short-to-medium term is considering broader support for non-`Note` object types, as part of [FEP-b2b8](https://w3id.Codeberg.org
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club respectfully there is no other way to get an Article object ingested by Mastodon without being munged without shoving it all into summary.
Summary should contain a truncation probably, but other than that it's GtS that is "doing it wrong".
Btw, other threadiverse platforms, like lemmy and py-fed, don't have this issue on my end, where I could follow them because they support authorised fetch that is. I wonder how do they do it? or...hmm, maybe they don't work properly on mastodon while they do on gts?
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club I'm sorry I got a bit salty about it.
Basically if Mastodon were not in the equation we would send an Article with a name and no summary at all. Threadiverse implementations handle that perfectly already.
GtS actually did implement the Mastodon behaviour! Content warnings were their thing (afaik), done by adopting summary as the CW. GtS followed suit but applied this to all objects, not just notes. So in this case GtS went a bit further is all.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club Mastodon would show the title and URL, and the content would be excised out.
Which I suppose is so fine insofar that sometimes long form content is best read on the originating site, but end users want their content read natively on Mastodon 🙂
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
@julian So in other words, if an Article-type object has a summary, Mastodon discards the title, shows the summary and links to the original, and if it doesn't have a summary, Mastodon shows the title and links to the original?
Its "traditional" behaviour since ca. 2017 was that it either showed the title and the link or, in the absence of a title, only the link with zero context, and when there was a summary, it used the summary as a content warning.
I'm still not sure whether Mastodon is limited by all interfaces available for it only being geared towards old-school plain-text microblogging and incapable of handling fully formatted HTML content, or rather by the devs' stubborn unwillingness to let anything in that's too much not old-school plain-text microblogging.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu Mastodon shows the title, summary, and adds a link.
It's as good as it'll get and quite a ways from where it used to be.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
This is an excellent idea, as demonstrated by the fact that many self-created communities (≈categories) on Lemmy have achieved significant global success. However, Lemmy's implementation is unsatisfactory and needs to be adjusted. I am the administrator of a Lemmy instance as well as a NodeBB instance, and I must admit that at the height of Lemmy's development, we never allowed autonomous community creation. This was due to some issues that arose with mastodon when homonymous communities and users existed. It was also because it was impossible to implement an approval process or ensure that the quality of the communities met the instance's standards. For this reason, the process for creating communities by users consisted of a request from the registered user and a creation reserved for administrators.
What I would like to see in NodeBB is the ability to create communities, but keep them in a sort of "limbo," a "section" where new communities remain until they reach acceptable quality levels for the instance's standards.
This is in addition to the entire user credit system, which I imagine could also be set up to achieve a suitable score for building a community.
Perhaps I'm asking too much, but NodeBB's development has been so impressive so far that I wouldn't be surprised if you could implement a feature like this.

Thoughts on HOPE_16
I’m on the train back to Montreal from New York, where I attended HOPE_16 over the weekend. I wanted to capture some thoughts while they were fresh, even though they might not be fully formed.
HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) is a technology and information security conference sponsored by 2600 Magazine. The SWF had two points of presence at the event this year: I gave an hour-long talk about the Fediverse which was streamed live. We also hosted the Fediverse Village, which turned out to be mostly a booth in the non-profits area of the vendors floor.
We had people streaming by all day long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I had thought the Village was going to be more like a hang-out room, so I was caught off guard on prep, but I put out all the ActivityPub and Social Web Foundation stickers I had, covers for the ActivityPub book, and a stack of CoSocial.ca stickers to boot. But there was a definite stone soup aspect to the village area: people brought by schwag for Fediverse software like WriteFreely, instances like GardenState.social and Masto.nyc, and projects like DWeb.
I’d hoped to have more structured discussions, including a meetup for Fediverse governance and a hackathon. But it turned out to be a lot more loosey-goosey than I expected, and most of the weekend was spent talking to other Fediverse fans, and helping people who came up to the booth to ask about the Fediverse.
I think I expected because of the level of technical expertise that was shown at the event that we’d be speaking to only true believers. But there were many people there who hadn’t heard of the Fediverse, and who were excited to try it out. One thing that struck me that was an advantage for these people over commercial social networks was the option to get out from under the “real names” policies of many platforms. It’s hard to remember that the alternative to the Fediverse that most people are familiar with are services that require a real-looking legal name to be used, and force you to send a scan of a government ID if they’re at all suspicious.
The other thing that struck me was how many people came to the booth saying that they’d registered for a Mastodon account at some point, and were really excited to get it reactivated, but forgot which server it was on and didn’t want to register for another. I think that’s a real pain point for a lot of people — and one we should do better at solving.
I plan to come back to HOPE next year. I’d love to have more schwag for Fediverse software, services, and platforms. I’d like to have a way to get people signed up and onboarded for the Fediverse right at the table. And I’d like to have some more formal get-together events. There are spaces to meet at HOPE if you know how to set it up — I’m going to try to use them better next time.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Fediverse Village, my talk, or just talked to me around the HOPE event. I was energised by the people and the technology that was happening, and I look forward to engaging again.

Sonolus gioconlus musicante super figo ganzo clonante tutti gli altri e afancul!!!
Stasera, per puro caso dell’espressione della consueta disperazione, il catgaming ha preso una piega inaspettata, ma graditissima. Infatti, mi era venuto un po’ a caso in mente di cercare se esistesse qualcosa tipo un server privato per VOEZ, che è quel giochino musicale che ho sul tablet per marcire con lo spirito mentre tengo tuttavia la mente e le manine allenate… e ho trovato decisamente di molto meglio; classica “cercavo rame e ho trovato oro” situazione. 😳👍Per chi non lo avesse presente, non c’è molto da dire… è di circa 10 anni fa, ed è bellino: tutta l’estetica è di quel pulito-sognante stile anime, le canzoni sono varie pazzerelle (niente roba normie che va dallo zzz al bleh, insomma), ed è in generale uno dei pochi che mi piace. Ha anche una versione per Switch che, a differenza di quella mobile, costa un tot di base ma poi non ha acquisti in-app, ha tutto già sbloccato di suo, e funziona offline… ma, ovviamente, se sono a casa voglio usare il tablet da 10 pollici anziché il merdoso di Nintendo, e se sono in giro non voglio portarmi un secondo rettangolo di 6 pollici + bordi enormi oltre al telefono, per cui lasciamo stare. 🥱
Non so se ho allora trovato davvero cosa cercavo, perché dalle pareti del web mi sono spuntati diversi APK MOD, che non ho (ancora?) provato… ma ho trovato 1 cosa più pazza: un giochino di ritmo chiamato Sonolus, fatto per essere modulare, avendo un motore di base che può essere esteso con delle API per ricreare virtualmente qualunque rhythm game al di sopra di questa singola infrastruttura comune… oh, tanta roba in teoria. E nella pratica, che consiste in un APK di appena ~100 MB, il miraggio si conferma realtà: questo pezzo di pseudo-software, aggiunto l’URL del server che fornisce i dati per far comportare il gioco come un clone di VOEZ, è effettivamente tanto gustoso quanto pareva da lontano!!! 😻
La cosa bella di questo, quindi, è che non solo ho a (quasi) tutti gli effetti VOEZ ma con tutte le sue canzoni aggratis (+ custom, credo, senza necessitare di APK strani)… ma ho praticamente VOEZ che funziona senza Google Play Services, anziché freezarsi all’avvio senza spiegazioni, quindi posso tornare ad averlo pure sullo Ximifonino… e questo è davvero l’inizio della megafine, cazzo che bello. La fregatura sta nel fatto che ad ogni fine canzone esce una pubblicità, e gli acquisti in-app in realtà ci sono sotto forma di abbonamenti per togliere le pubblicità, o personalizzazioni del profilo online… roba di cui se ne fa a meno (anche perché le pubblicità
basta bloccarle a livello di OS, mafinché sono solo statiche e non video sono accettabili, non danno fastidio). 🤗Non ho ancora provato i vari motori di gioco disponibili a parte il clone di VOEZ, perché sono una marea… e quello, a dire il vero, comunque non è una ricreazione perfetta: sul look ci siamo, e anche sull’hear, ma sul feel non tanto, visto che la gestione degli input è parecchio più severa, e il margine di errore è abbastanza più basso da far si che, una canzone che sul VOEZ originale riesco tranquillamente a fare a difficoltà massima, qui mi esce un mezzo schifo persino a livello intermedio (e il video qui fa ampia mostra dei miei problemi di skill, in questo senso)… però, visti i vantaggi, dovrò abituarmici; quantomeno, se non sul tablet, per giocarci sul telefono, dove l’alternativa sarebbe il niente. 🔥
Assurdo che NON lagghi sullo Xiaomi con tanto di registrazione schermo attiva, ma, purtroppo, ha anche dei difetti… tipo che il core non è open-source — ma tutto ciò che ci gira attorno, inclusi i plugin che clonano i vari giochini, pare proprio di si — e che l’APK ha librerie solo per ARMv7 e ARMv8, niente x86+64 — ma poteva andare molto peggio: poteva essere solo ARM 64 bit; e invece, con doppie lib + supporto ad Android Nougat, si installa anche sul telefono di un pesce palla (non ironicamente). C’è anche per iOS,ma di quello non ce ne fotte; dispiace non ci sia una build Windows e/o HTML5, piuttosto, ma il gioco è appena alla v1.0.0, quindi sarà questione di tempo. Per me, già il fatto che il gioco parta senza connessione Internet e faccia tranquillamente giocare i livelli salvati, è sufficiente a godere… 👾

Come cambio da LMDE a Mint "vanilla"?
Scusate la domanda da newbie, spero di non evocare l'odio che hanno avuto nei miei confronti alcuni membri di lemmy.ml, ma sono molto nuovo come utente stabile su Linux.
Al mio primo approccio, a Maggio, mi è stato consigliato di installare non Linux Mint, bensì LMDE per prendere le distanze da Ubuntu etc.
Ora vedo che nel mio caso specifico ho alcune ragioni per non essere su Debian:
1) sono un utente molto nuovo e mi piacerebbe essere su una distro per la quale posso ottenere nei forum il miglior e più numeroso supporto possibile da parte della comunità
2) da quello che ho capito su LMDE lavorano molte meno persone che su Linux Mint
3) ho visto alcuni video su Debian 13 e ho capito che non fa parte della filosofia della distro inserire il supporto più recente per l'hardware, soprattutto Nvidia, e io ho un computer costruito per il gaming e con il quale mi piacerebbe continuare a giocare e a fare altre cose con la GPU etc.
Per questi motivi vorrei passare a Linux Mint, ma vorrei farlo nel modo più indolore possibile.

La mia home è sulla stessa partizione del root, cosa che credo di aver capito non sia stata proprio una furbata, ma non so come mettere solo la home su un'altra partizione durante l'installazione.
Mi potete aiutare a capire il modo migliore di passare da LMDE6 a Mint "vanilla" mantenendo il più possibile?
La mia home al momento occupa meno di 40 GB, quindi potrei salvarne i contenuti sul disco per il gaming per adesso, ma non so se è una buona idea.

Ottimo! Mi potete spiegare come si fa questa cosa della home separata?
Cioè, io potrei creare una partizione sullo stesso disco o su un altro e copiarci dentro i contenuti di home, ma come faccio a configurare il sistema per puntare lì?
reshared this
modificando il file fstab in /etc.
Qui c'è la documentazione, vale per tutte le distribuzioni non solo per arch.
wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab
Fai una partizione o colleghi un altro disco, e inserisci il file system in fstab.
Backup prima (su una memoria esterna)-> Ripristina dopo.
Funziona perfettamente senza sbattimenti

Questo significa che lo stesso si può fare con Timeshift?
Si, proprio quella, di default su Gnome. Non ho mai utilizzato Timeshift quindi non so dirti le differenze.
Un accorgimento importante, non modificare il nome utente nelle diverse istallazioni altrimenti la home ti creerà parecchi problemi. (Questo vale anche per la /home separata).
