Ok so not just text, but walls of text? I still feel like there’s something I’m missing. Lumo can’t even like, turn on a radio station.

I meant why would I pay for a program that doesn’t really like, do anything? It literally only generates text. I’m not understanding the use case.

I’ve played around with Lumo… it uh, generates some text.

Maybe I’m missing the point of why someone would pay for that?

I don’t think you’re in the wrong to say that code nobody has reviewed has not proven safe, and a brand new project (of any kind) is not proven reliable. A brand new big project that’s purely vibe coded is every red flag of unsafe and unsustainable.

Yeaaah not to mention Immich already exists and is proven software.

Source for that claim? My understanding is that the changes were for usability purposes.

Yes exactly, my potentially hot take is that twenty years from now we’ll look at immutability as the tipping point that sent Linux mainstream on desktop.

I think Fedora Kinoite is the best distro for someone coming from Windows due to KDE’s flexibility and similarity to Windows and it’s immutability. Default Ubuntu is great for people familliar with MacOS, and it can even be themed to be basically indistinguishable.

Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

Unless you’re driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.

If I knew I wouldn’t have asked them now would I

I doubt that what OP was talking about.

It’s so weird how any time someone mentions Signal, Proton, or other convenient privacy-focused alternatives to big tech someone on Lemmy will magically appear to say “No, don’t!”

No need to apologize! Of course I will believe you, an anonymous internet account discouraging use of a well-audited privacy service.

What is the complaint about Proton? I feel like they went out of their way to make the transition from Google as seamless as possible.

I thought Redlib no longer worked with the API changes? How are you using it?

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

Yes exactly and I always consider Steam (and to a lesser degree the Kindle ecosystem), which make it obvious to me that interoperability and convenience are something consumers are willing to pay for.

everybody needs to be on their best behavior for the next few weeks ok
