Let me SearXNG that for you

A free and open firmware hack would make them way more interesting

It’s still Facebook and I’m still not giving them a camera and mic on my face.

So the AI chat bot will still be there, openly talking to one another, but we’re gonna pretend that it’s OK here. My question is, is there any use for people on this platform?

I remember Elon foolishly saying his cars don’t need radar or lidar. Even software-disabling radar in cars that already had the hardware.

Lemmy won’t.

I guess I’ve just experienced too many times the pain of a sqlite database getting corrupted.

Let’s also remember that “U.S. officials” now describes MAGA flunkies that replaced actually qualified professionals.

Yeah I was just thinking… this is not at all how the tools work.

As someone who actually approves $$ for tech vendors in an American company, I can tell you that no matter how cheaply China-based services become, they still aren’t going to be seriously considered. Anthropic and OpenAI are based out of San Francisco. Legal jurisdiction to resolve contract disputes, breaches of confidentiality, etc. can be resolved in a fairly straightforward way between two American companies, especially when they are headquartered in the same court district.

Chinese companies exist inside of a legal safe harbor where they have less incentive to play by the rules, and a much lower risk of consequences for getting caught breaking them. The risk isn’t worth the perceived savings.

It’s going to impact American consumers a hell of a lot more.

It’s got an open API so really there’s a lot more than my own use case.

I’m using it right now for getting notifications from flows in ActivePieces (I don’t want to get spammy with my site, which is the link in the original post, but there’s a how-to on getting that up and running also… ActivePieces is like a self-hosted Zapier)

I’m very comfortable in Docker and honestly most of the software out there in the Fediverse is weird. Like they make containerized deployments much more convoluted than they are supposed to be.

GoToSocial is maybe the least bad that I’ve tried so far. Most of the more popular ones are, IMO, really really bad on this front.

I’ve had their Stans counter this but then they point me to the process that they followed and it’s like something out of a Hogwart’s spell book compared to what most self hosted containerized apps are like.

I really wish it were more straightforward to deploy. It would be great to see many more instances popping up.
