I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
4·19 days agoI’d say go ahead but make sure it produces accurate enough results and make sure to add something like [AI Transcribed] in front so people can take the potential for additional errors into consideration when reading it.
Also, if you’re using an online service make sure you’re using something that doesn’t use it as training data. Many (probably almost all) artists / photographers won’t appreciate that.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
1·19 days agoAlmost all OCR tools use machine learning AFAIK, the commonly used Tesseract OCR software also uses a neural network.
It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.

Okay,
So let me get this straight, when I actively asked you to communicate with me, you refused, humiliated me and made sure to insult me in front of people.
You defame me in public with your CVE-2026-45585 advisory even though you literally deleted the Microsoft account I used to report bugs to you with and I got zero pennies from doing so and I still happily did like an idiot.
Now you take the courtesy to flag my github account and wipe it out of the public, just like that ? You are proving to everyone that you actively escalating this conflict but I’m done begging you.
I might sound like crazy idiot who is whinning around but I have proof for every single word I said, I just can’t release it yet. Why ? Microsoft still has chains in my hands, it’s been like this for years and I just can’t stay silent anymore. I hope I can release the documents soon.
Mark this date July 14th, I will make sure your bones are shattered that day. Nothing will be released this June (or maybe I will release smtg, depending on circumstances).
Also,
CVE-2026-45498 is UnDefend
CVE-2026-41091 is RedSun

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Which instances have the most ban-happy moderators? Analysis insideEnglish
4·1 month agoI think they’re defederated from poorly moderated instances and therefore don’t need to ban as many users. Perhaps db0 doesn’t defederate as often?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?English
1·2 months agoA belief without anything to base it off? CPU’s shouldn’t have tried so hard to get faster and should just have gotten more cores a decade ago. Why bother with fancy branch prediction systems to make one thing faster than it should when it’s switching between hundreds of tasks anyway.
