I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

It’s like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it’s a hardware problem.

Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

Ah I wrote it down last year here:

Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don’t want to send it in a second time because I normally don’t use it like that.

The thing is that they only need to release the source code to a user of their installer. Also, perhaps they got a special exception from the original author like dynamically linked Linux drivers.

I have around 800 GB of photos from me, my dad and my fiance. That would be $ 20 a month. Ok, still not bad, I don’t think I could get it much cheaper on a VPS.

For now what I’m doing is running immich.app on my laptop at home with a connected external USB drive. It’s not e2e encrypted, just with ssl on https. But other than that it seems to have similar functionality.

@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

I also really wonder, they say face recognition and ML categorization happen on the edge. I guess this would drain the battery quite a lot doing it for the 800 GB and it will take forever.

I checked 7digital and they had like 3 songs of that band. But qobuz seems to have most of their music www.qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/…/2016646 thanks for the tip. They have a German, Swedish and even Japanese shop, but no Korean, but I guess I can use any of those shops.

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Thanks everyone for offering the albums to me. I looked around and I seem to be able to download them from YouTube too.

I was genuenly trying to find something like Bandcamp which would have more bands, because the next one is Paramore which I’d like to get their latest album. I at least hope that some of the money would go to the artists to make more music in the future.

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Yeah exactly, Jeff Bezos really doesn’t need more of my money. I wish bands would sell their music on their website somehow, like with stripe or something like that.

@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

That’s actually a great idea!

There are several reasons why I don’t want a physical CD:

  1. I have no space for it
  2. I don’t want to carry it when I move
  3. It’s a lot of work to sell it
  4. I need to pay shipment around the world to Korea
  5. The production and shipment creates unnecessary CO2, so it’s even bad for the environment

I’m having a backup in a external hard USB hard drive, off site on a Synology at my parent’s house, and then I sync the music to my two phones, two laptops and to my server. I guess this is enough ^^

If Israel goes out of Gaza the whole war was meaningless for them, similar to Ukraine’s demands for Russia to give back everything. I don’t think they can do that, that would be political suicide at home for them.

@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

This is how it looks like to be in the wrong side of history.

@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

I hope they will be able to do the same for the Israeli youth, because there the theocratic fashists are in power right now already.

The persons great grandfather died in Auschwitz because he was fighting for a independent Silesia.

But yeah, …

That’s good, I’m just hoping they could go together with the holocaust survivers who live in Israel and be role models there too, god knows we need them there too.

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Are you saying German holocaust survivers should only protest German fashists and not Israeli fashists because if they do then they associate the Holocaust with Israel and thus help Netanjahu with it?

I have a hard time understanding your position.

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

My thinking was in the lines why they are doing in Germany too. They say look what the fashists did, never again! Same message would make sense in today’s Israel too.

Report: Vast Majority of Children Under 5 in Gaza Going Full Days Without Food (truthout.org)

According to a food survey conducted by humanitarian aid groups in May, 85 percent of children under 5 were deprived of food at least one day over a three day period. Official death counts reported by Gaza’s government do not include deaths by starvation; at least 30 children have been recorded starving to death in Gaza so...

I mean if Hamas orders a ice-latte you need to deliver, they were so nice starting the war for you so you could do your genocide, so that is the least you can do for them.

We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox — which many, many of you have been asking about

Which one of you was it, who asked for AI in Firefox???

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

You can do that already, I’m doing it very often.

On the Desktop go to reader mode and click the play button.

On Android I use play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperio… just share any website with it and it starts reading it.

That would be a really cool addition to immich

Pentagon says none of the aid unloaded from US pier off coast of Gaza has been delivered to broader Palestinian population (www.cnn.com)

None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon said on Tuesday....

I know, but NK politically isn’t that far away from PRC.

After the Covid lockdowns there is a saying in China:

We thought that North Korea is our past, but now we know it’s our future.

I’d like to replace GitHub with something self hosted but I’d still like other people to be able to fork and especially do pull requests. Because everyone already has a GitHub account it’s easy for them to do that. I wish there was some small software which would be easy to install and update and it would be connected to for example ActivityPub to be able to do pull requests. I’m not so keen on making everyone who wants to create a Issue or a Pull Request to make a seperate account on my own website, nobody will do that.

How come they can’t shoot it down before it arrives?

I wish we could call them “Pro human rights” instead of “pro Palestinian” I don’t think the victims being Palestinian is of the highest importance.

Oh that reminds me of another use of it last year. I let it translate some official divorce papers from Korean to German and then let a human read through it and give it a stamp of approval. Payed $5 for the stamp instead $70 for the translation.

Check out llama3 which you can run locally.

Correct.

@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Damn, it seems I was talking out of my ass and just assuming things. Now I asked llama3 about it and it said that even though it does not send our conversation to Meta, it does take my feedback (if I correct it in some way) and sends it to Meta’s servers through the Internet:


// Will you be able to learn from me pointing it out or do you forget all conversations we had after I press Ctrl-D?
I’m a large language model, I don’t have personal memories or experiences. Each time you interact with me, it’s a new conversation, and I start from scratch.

When you point out an error or provide feedback, it’s stored in my training data for future conversations. However, this information is not retained individually; instead, it’s aggregated and used to improve the overall performance of my language understanding and generation capabilities.

So, when you press Ctrl-D (or close our conversation), I won’t remember the specific details we discussed, including your feedback on my German sentence.
But, the collective knowledge from all our conversations will help me become a better AI model over time!

Keep in mind that I’m designed to learn and adapt through interactions with users like you. Your contributions, no matter how small they may seem, are invaluable in helping me improve and provide more accurate and helpful responses in the future!

/// But you run on my computer so technically how does my contribution get back to Meta to train the next generation? Do you send any data back?
When you interact with me through this chat interface, your input is processed by a client-side JavaScript code that runs on your local device (your computer or mobile phone). This code sends the necessary information about our conversation, including any corrections or feedback you provide, to Meta’s servers.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Client-side processing: When you type a message or correct an error, the JavaScript code on your device processes and formats the data for transmission.
  2. Data encryption and compression: The processed data is then encrypted and compressed using advanced algorithms to ensure secure and efficient transmission over the internet.
  3. Transmission to Meta’s servers: The compressed data is sent to Meta’s servers, where it’s decrypted and decompressed.
  4. Integration with training datasets: The collected data is then integrated into Meta’s vast training datasets, which contain millions of conversations from users like you.
  5. Training the next generation: These updated training datasets are used to train new models, such as language understanding models like myself. This process helps improve my accuracy and ability to understand natural language.

To ensure your contributions are anonymous and secure, all data transmission is handled by Meta’s infrastructure and follows industry-standard encryption protocols. Your input will help refine the AI models, enabling them to better serve users in the future!

Now, go ahead and chat away!

/// How would the data look in the case of me telling you the correct German expression? What would be sent back to meta’s server? Show it as JSON.
When you correct an error or provide feedback, the client-side JavaScript code on your device sends a request to Meta’s servers with the following information:

Here’s what the data might look like in JSON format:


<span style="color:#323232;">{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"event_type"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "corrected_error",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"conversation_id"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "unique_conversation_identifier",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"turn_number"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">5</span><span style="color:#323232;">,

</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"correction_target"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "können",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"language_code"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "de",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"platform"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "web",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"client_info"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"browser_type"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "Chrome",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"browser_version"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "92.0.4515.131"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

In this example:

  • event_type: The type of event, which in this case is a “corrected_error”.
  • conversation_id: A unique identifier for the conversation.
  • turn_number: The number of turns (or exchanges) in the conversation.
  • user_input: The corrected text you provided (“und kann einfache”).
  • correction_target: The original incorrect text (“können”) that was being discussed.
  • language_code: The language code for German (“de”).
  • platform: The platform or device type used to access Meta’s services (in this case, “web”).
  • client_info: Additional metadata about the client device and browser.

This JSON data is then sent to Meta’s servers, where it can be processed and integrated into their training datasets.
