Afaik Gentoo is anti AI. As much as they can while still using the kernel I guess.

Try doing it through the web ui?

Let’s see if there will be a checkbox in the UI that I can tick to exclude AI software from my search results…

I tend to take things literally, sorry about that.

Lemmy just displays the first image and ignores the rest.

In a future version maybe we can insert the images into the post body, or make Lemmy link to the PF version of the post.

No, sorry!

BTW, the “weapons” category is the light green stuff in the bottom right.

Imagine upending the whole desktop software ecosystem for years, to produce this result.

Oh that’s explains all the uovotes on the bots, lol

For comments (not posts), the parent post has a count of the replies saved on it so it would be simple to compare that with the current number of comments the viewer is getting.

But without knowing which filter was causing it, that message would just be annoying.

Yes, good idea.

The main challenge is that we’d need to run the ‘get posts’ database query twice - once with no filters and once with the filters. These are big queries so they’re slow and hard to optimize. You really really don’t want to run them more than once per page load.

If you wanted a breakdown of which filter caused how many posts then you’d need to run one query per filter and compare it with the no-filter version to see the difference. So, about 6x. Impractical.

If all the filtering was done in the app logic (rather than on the DB server, using SQL) then it would be trivial to count up which filter did what, as the code looped through the posts. But I’m very sceptical about the performance potential of this, there’s a reason why we do as much filtering as possible on the DB… It’d be an interesting experiment to try.

Excellent news.

No doubt the struggle is not over but this is something to celebrate anyway 😁

I’ve tried a couple of times but it seems pretty cursed.

No, but every PieFed post you make will be sent to your Mastodon followers. And you can follow people on Mastodon and have their posts appear in your home feed.

Mastodon integration like this still very new and experimental for PieFed but is a high priority for future development.

Attempts to have your cake and eat it too are always going to be pretty fraught when it’s a moral / ethical issue. If you try to compromise then no one is happy except the opportunists who see it as a chance to push for further changes in their direction.

Several weeks ago, a KDE developer started a mailing list thread asking about how we should handle the flood of AI slop merge requests. Everyone agreed it was a problem, and that we don’t want that crap.

That bit of context was certainly left out of the story when I first heard it and had I known that I would have read the proposed policy more charitably.

As an aside - this is the problem with having mailing lists and chatrooms - they are not on the web so it’s impossible to link to the original source / context and this provides an opening for people who want to stir up some shit. I use Matrix a lot less these days, for that reason.

The NoGoogleAi firefox extension solves this.

Yeah, see, one minute they’re “just loosening a policy a bit to be more reasonable” and the next they’re giving out free tokens and getting everyone hooked.

The policy change is just the start of the process - https://blog.fallible.net/it-breaks-a-village/
