  • Mozilla Firefox Adds AI-Powered RTX Video

    Jump

  • With AI upscaling it fills it in based on the training from other images/videos. So it probably won't be an alien, but small details common in other videos that looked similar will also show up in the upscaled videos. If an extra flower shows up in a field of grass it's usually not a big deal, but for some things like faces or symbols, small details can really change the way people interpret it.

  • Mozilla Firefox Adds AI-Powered RTX Video

    Jump

  • Depending on the context it's probably not that bad, but there's plenty of details in youtube videos that people pay attention to, like in news, history, tutorials, educational content, and so on. Even for a fictional story, it could add nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show.

  • The problem with AI upscaling is that it does add something. It fills in the details with things that could plausibly be there, regardless of if they are. It's especially dangerous if it's used for something like security footage, where it'll do stuff like make up a face based on a few pixels.

  • is there a search engine for the fediverse?

  • App installed from F-Droid and updated via Playstore?

    Jump

  • It can also happen with apps from the main repo. If the app is reproducible (about 5% so far, most new apps) then F-Droid will use the developer signature.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?

    Jump

  • It hasn't had a real release in about 5 years though. It uses a very old API so it's slightly buggy.

    I've been using Unexpected Keyboard lately instead. It's the only modern keyboard I've found that has stuff like control and function keys. It uses swiping on keys to get more characters though, so it takes some getting used to. I had to set the swipe distance higher so I don't have as many typos.

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?

  • What is your favourite Matrix Android client?

    Jump

  • Schildichat for now. I like some stuff in Fluffychat better, but I find it's a bit buggy.

    What app do you use for Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I like Fedilab. It's open source and supports other accounts like Pixelfed, Peertube, Friendica, and is planning to add Calckey. I also like how it has colored lines to show deeper threads.

    I've also tried out Tusky and a couple of forks of the offical app like Moshidon and Megalodon and they all seem pretty good.

  • Lemmy's total users continues to soar from 240k yesterday to 360k today! Basically quadrupling in the past 4 days

    Jump

  • About 20k are probably from hexbear, which migrated from their own distant fork of lemmy to the current version, so now they show up in a lot of trackers. They still haven't enabled federation yet though.

  • Better alternative to Jerboa

    Jump

  • None of the options are that great right now. I still mostly use Jerboa, and go to the PWA for things that don't work. Other android apps you can check out are thunder that has an alpha out, memmy which only has an iOS beta so far, but plans to be cross-platform, and lemmur which is outdated and is incompatible with current lemmy, although there's a fork with more recent development so it could possibly come back at some point.

  • What are some must have web extensions or TamperMonkey scripts for Fediverse social medias (like Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin ect ect).

    Jump

  • They both do try to do roughly the same thing. If you go to another Mastodon website and try to follow, reply, etc. it will redirect you to do that on your mastodon instance.

  • One correction/clarification and some tips:

    For example, say you’re in lemmy.ml and you realized that stable_diffusion is in lemmy.dbzer0.com. To access it, simply add lemmy.dbzer0.com at the end of the url. So

    https://lemmy.ml/c/stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    For now this seems only work if the community has already been federated. The first subscriber needs to use the search with either the !stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com format or the community's url. Make sure you have "all" selected so that it's not just searching locally. Then the search results usually show "No results" even if it's syncing in the background. After it's been federated it'll show up in searches, in the communities list, and will work with those /c/ style links. The UI for federating new communities definitely needs a bunch of work.

    To find and subscribe to communities go to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities, then selecting 'All' to look through any that are already federated. If you want to find more, https://browse.feddit.de/ has a mostly complete list of communities. Just watch out though, because it includes instances that are blocked from most sites for obvious reasons.

    A few instances I've found centered around various topics:

    https://slrpnk.net - Solarpunk

    https://mander.xyz - Science

    https://programming.dev - Programming

    https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech - Pop Music

    https://pathfinder.social - Pathfinder/Starfinder TTRPGs

    https://sub.wetshaving.social - Wet Shaving

    https://pawb.social - Furry

    https://lemmy.studio - Music

    There's more for other topics, but a lot of them don't have any moderation policies listed so I'm not going to recommend them yet. There's also a bunch of general purpose instances, as well as location based ones.

    One thing that a lot of people find confusing is how there can be multiple communities with the same name, just hosted on different sites. In those cases it's not a single community viewed in two places. For example !technology@lemmy.ml and !technology@beehaw.org are two separate communities that both exist, and you can subscribe to either or both. Each will have different rules, mods, posts and comments. The full name of a community includes the domain, sort of like an email address.

    I'd also recommend people change their default settings to 'Subscribed' so it's not just showing the posts hosted here. You might also want to set sorting to 'Hot', since 'Active' tends to show the same threads for days at a time as long as people keep posting in them.

    Right now the federation with kbin.social seems to be broken since they added cloudflare protection. We probably need to wait for them to remove that before communities there can be federated.
