  • Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds

    Jump

  • Feels like the article goes through the same points in different ways every few paragraphs, so in short:

    With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot. To use the app, people will sign in with their Atmosphere login (meaning their login for any app that runs on atproto, which includes Bluesky). Attie will immediately understand what you’ve been talking about, what sort of things you like, and more, because Bluesky and the wider ecosystem are open systems that share data across apps.You can ask Attie questions, like what posts you might like to see or repost, and you can use the app to curate your own custom feed, personalized to you.

    At launch, Attie can be used to build and view these feeds, which will later become available to you within Bluesky or any other atproto app. Over time, the plan is to allow Attie’s users to vibe-code their own social apps as well as build tools for other people.

    Also, from experience, AIs are miserable to suggest feeds with any level of nuance past generic requests, somehow worse than asking in groups and forums with people that don't interpret what you asked for.

  • Tankies think the EU and NATO are countries

    Jump

  • About the EU, individual participant countries not having full control of their laws sound like a federation-style state, similar to the US, but more centralized. Though the EU seems to be growing weaker and weaker in recent years, so individual states are getting more space to move independently.

  • IEEE talking about fediverse

    Jump

  • So... Is it an article to promote/defend the actions of the Big Brother State?

    Whenever I see "regulating social medias", I get a cold sweat, reminded of what the current Brazilian government's been insisting on for years, in practice internet censorship.

  • Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to

    Jump

  • What would your ultimate distro be like?

    The one that fits one's needs the best. Given your frustration with unstable systems, I'd say the best ones would be those that take longer to make major updates, like Debian, Mint and Slackware, as then issues aren't introduced as frequently, and older ones are better known and easier to fix or even preemptively circumvent.

  • AV1’s open, royalty-free promise in question as Dolby sues Snapchat over codec

    Jump

  • Didn't read the linked PDFs in the article, but the article itself doesn't mention what patents AV1 would have broken.

  • Every time

    Jump

  • At least one that doesn't like console wars, even if agreeing with the criticism.

  • Just spotted a bird with ADHD

    Jump

  • Yeah, and it doesn't even seen to want to get in. I once forgot to close the window before it appeared, and when it did, it would stop at the open window, stare for a little, and keep doing its rounds. e.e"

  • Just spotted a bird with ADHD

    Jump

  • Every day when I work in the afternoons, there's a bird near the end of the shift that flies to the circular windows of the main room, and keeps circling them for some 20 minutes, flying small distances (1~2 metres) while staring to where I am.

    Wish I could understand what it's thinking. 😅

    Who, me?

  • Please? Pretty please?

    Jump

  • Dunno if it's your case, but if someone's stuck on a mental freeze, imo it's still better to do "rage cleaning" than nothing at all. e.e"

  • is there any platform in fediverse where individuals can join groups just like Facebook groups, and share media ??🤔🤔🤔

    Jump

  • @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn't have SMS. It was just a comparison.

    And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users' IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, Blåhaj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.

    Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Final stretch of Final Fantasy XII. Going for the Sky Pirate's Den in the original NTSC release, and I'm dreading Yiazmat.

  • How in the new communities at the top of pages does not help out smaller communities like you used to do?

    Jump

  • Machine-translated post? Not quite sure what it means.

  • A free VPN you can trust, now built into Firefox | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • If something is free, someone else is paying. And who pays chooses what to eat as the saying goes.

    So, is who's paying trusthworthy? And furthermore, is Mozilla trustworthy?

    How to install wine ?

    Jump

  • The most basic version, just install from your distro's repository if it has one. On Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc., for example, it"s sudo apt install wine.

    If you're on Steam, just enable compatibility, and Steam will handle everything for you, though do note you can only use their version of Wine ("Proton") when launching through their launcher or calling the executable file directly.

    If you're on Heroic Launcher, there's a menu for handling Wine versions, including downloading, and using is the same as Steam's.

    Can't remember other methods now.

  • Finally deleted GBoard

    Jump

  • Btw, if you know/learn Korean at some point, HeliBoard's also pretty good for their writing system.

  • Please? Pretty please?

    Jump

  • I remember reading many years ago that if the person is frozen with fear, thinking on things that make you angry can help you get moving again. Though not fear, I have a feeling the ADHD/autism freeze works similarly, because if I think on what I could be doing and how I'm instead wasting my time away, I do get agitated/angry enough to start moving. Then it just takes a small catalyst of discipline to get this anger burning into something productive.

  • One week guest passes for Nebula - First come first serve

    Jump

  • Bots on GOG keep locked gift/claim links posted unprotected in the platform's forum, likely by keeping a specific step of the claiming process open. Unprotected Steam keys get claimed near instantly in most Steam-related forums I've seen. Even saw allegedly legitimate group owners using bots to harvest such codes, while keeping their accounts private.

    Dunno how popular Nebula actually is, as I use it very little, but I'd also advise obfuscating their codes, or even any gift codes.

  • Sort of new community (moving, original instance shutting down): thelittlethings@lemmy.cafe - Sharing little moments of gratitude and happiness

    Jump

  • Might I suggest also adding a "[MOVED]" to the beginning of the name of the lemy.lol community? Saw some people do it when lemm.ee went down, and sounded like a good idea.

  • is there any platform in fediverse where individuals can join groups just like Facebook groups, and share media ??🤔🤔🤔

    Jump

  • @codewizard@hear-me.social In a sense of groups, as mentioned in other comments, there are 5 to my knowledge:

    • Lemmy, created pretty much as a Reddit alternative
    • Mbin, meant as a hybrid of Reddit and Twitter's post styles
    • Friendica, similar to Mbin but with a design philosophy inspired on Facebook
    • Piefed, which launched with a similar purpose as Lemmy, and dunno how it is now, but in the original roadmap it was meant to have microblogging support too
    • Bonfire, which I heard about and that apparently has community-adjacent features, but yet to test.

  • is there any platform in fediverse where individuals can join groups just like Facebook groups, and share media ??🤔🤔🤔

    Jump

  • @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com also, in this line of comparison, someone thought it was a good idea to include SMS support in the email software he was developing, and after dropping the whole project due to health reasons, someone else picked the project to maintain it: enter Mbin

    The original project, Kbin, was more designed with Reddit/Lemmy in mind, but had support for microblogging, e.g. Twitter/Mastodon. Since the original developer had to leave development, someone forked it, named it Mbin, and keeps adding features since.
