Just a reminder that #Fedilab has a feature to detect the language of the message you are writing (disabled by default).
If you are a polyglot, it can warn you when you have selected the wrong language.
You can enable it in Settings > Compose > Check language when posting.

This would be a great feature for the web interface to have also.
Folks do seem to forget the language selection, or pick the wrong one which breaks translation 😔
@simonzerafa
True, it also breaks language filters.

At least recent Mastodon web interface does appear to do this. Not sure if it’s a Glitch feature, but my instance’s web interface definitely does this!

Is there a setting to display only posts in my language?
@drreid
Yes, you can filter languages in the Mastodon web settings.
Marco
Would you be so kind as to tell me how? I've searched and tried before without luck.
@drreid
On my server (mastodon.world), I log in using a browser, go to Settings --> Preferences --> Other. There, I can check the languages I want to see in public timelines.
Marco
Oh, nice. This made me also discover the useful setting to reduce the list of languages. Great, thank you!
Why is this disabled-by-default? I’m fairly certain I haven’t ever thought of changing the language manually when I posted in German... 
@curiousicae
It is possible, but it needs extra work to handle polyglot users who set more than one language in Fedilab. Otherwise, it would overload our server for nothing. Detection uses our privacy-friendly LibreTranslate instance (reserved for Fedilab users).

I see. It’s not really transparent that detection happens server-side...

I wanted to do it on the device a long time ago, but it added more than 100 MB just for that feature.
But yes, it might need a disclaimer, even though everything is handled on our side without any data collection.

I was curious and checked what current models for language detection there are and what size they are.
I’m guessing the >100MB figure must have Lingua, but there other libraries that are significantly smaller:
- After reading through some comparisons, the FastText library has an old Java port and a recent Java C++ binding and its ~1MB compressed model appears to score pretty well on texts >=35 chars at low memory usage and high speed and supports 176 languages.
- There’s also the old language-detection library for Java that uses very small detection profiles, but FastText appears to beat it in all metrics at almost the same size.

While I had a reasonably good experience with PHP (mystery surrounds the origins of the name, but appears to have something to do with someone's Home Page...) there was one 'security feature' that threw me.
A hashing function which I thought could be used for trapdoor encryption of passwords turned out to only operate on the first two characters of the input string! 'For' and 'Four' would both be accepted. Useful.
(Quietly switched to using LDAP after that)

@djelouze @greenman @orange_lux Oui, je crois que ça perdrait la reférence à eMuhra, mais que le "hein?" et "1" marcherait pas trop mal, pour conserver au mieux la dynamic du gag. Bien vue.
Je suis pas si sur pour la personne qui connaît la faille du password "mono-chiffre", je pense que ça restera assez évident, bien que ça reprenne pas directement les mèmes qui circulent et qui sont à base du chiffre 4 effectivement !
Je pense que ça passe mieux que ma tentative "car", qu'on utilise rarement de manière interrogative comme je l'ai fait.

Is this that PHP thing everyone's been talking about, or has there been *another* one? 
@ToonLink 4 and the PHP RCE thing are separate. 4 was part of a weak private key in an intermediate certificate of the Indian CA eMudhra.

@ToonLink
A certificate authority was disavowed everywhere, when people dug in for the reasons it was found that the passwords for the cert were small numbers, including JUST THE NUMBER 4!

Spoken like a computer who doesn't understand that everything humans do is for money and power.
Yes, your special thing too.
Maybe you’re in a bad mood, but it can easily be understood what many humans are about (power and money), and describe it as a mistake to prioritize such things over group wellbeing and stability.
This entry was edited (today, 1:29 PM)
@Huntn00 Having been on long conversations about this already, I stand by what I said. Community is power. Power is influence. The apes do things to influence other apes. And if you want the internet to look like a different place, what you actually need is the power to change it, which is only coming from community or ownership. It boggles my mind that so many people can't make this simple chain of connections while posting on the Fediverse.
thin@nivex@tenforward.social
@Wyatt_H_Knott I’ve always said that technology is not the issue, it’s how humans decide to use the technology and fail to understand the danger it presents now and in the future. It’s fairly obvious as a species, we don’t have our priorities set in such a way to ensure long-term survival. Is this obvious, or just being blinded by gold, and the rest are just the sheep being herded? 1:2
@Wyatt_H_Knott 2:2 So it should not be “AI is bad” it should be “AI in the hands of assholes is bad, but how do we remove the assholes from the equation?” So maybe it’s easier to just stop the technology? 🤔
@Huntn00 Exactly. Really, it should be "how do we relocate the financial incentives to shift the power base somewhere else."
Coming down from the trees was a mistake.
In the 90’s, it was a regular thing to hang out with people you met online. I even travelled huge distances to meet up with folks I’d been chatting with online.
I remember the time between the dotcom bubble burst and rise of fashcrook.
The internet was a wonderful place to share knowledge and konnection with people.
Sensitive content
Wait who is saying Computers or the Internet was a mistake?
hm, the way i have begun to see it is that computers are merely an extension of everything being about money and power. but then again, i think mathematics was a mistake, so what do i know.
Unfortunately everything is based on money to subsist and humans find it hard to maintain a balance.
say it how it is: capitalism was a mistake
I remember when computer stories started showing up in the business section of the newspaper and thinking that was not right.
monkeys becoming self-conscious was a mistake
the #commercialization should've never been allowed!
yes. This exactly. Same goes for many more niches like movie making and video games.
Don't you forget Democracy.
the mistake was listening to a load of grifters and chancers who not only evangelised FOSS, but quietly set the parameters for what that meant to ensure they could reap all the rewards from it for themselves.
Either way, I regret my choice to be an IT professional.
I sometimes think that the complexity of monetization on the internet is part of the problem. Being able to pay €0.01 to read an article instead of being flooded with intrusive & privacy-invasive ads 24/7 would be an improvement IMO.
But of course, t3rr0r1sm and money laundering make that a non starter. Sigh.
...smartphones indeed
hard to disallow anything with no power
The mistake was convincing society that computers were only "toys for boys".
So...capitalism rather than communism?
Yep. It's called "capitalism".
I do agree with this. Obviously capitalism has been a mistake, but we're mostly getting burned by the computery internetty bits of it we used to like on the daily. So it's a shorthand to go for 'the Internet was a mistake' when the internet, and people on it, upset us.
Sensitive content
.
Capitalism, in a word.
Milnet was about government sharing and coordination. Bitnet was about sharing, education, and academic communication. Combining them to form the internet was brilliant, and built community. Then commercialization started to ruin it. As soon as the point became revenue instead of sharing, the corruption began.
One mistake that was made is that when some sexist and privileged dork invented a website at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of co-eds there to reduce them to sex objects is that he wasn't taken to some secluded area and beaten to death.

My site is currently pure HTML, but a static site generator is something I had in mind for it like forever for a long overdue relaunch. Can you recommend one? I'm not that much into coding as I used to be, so if it offers some adaptable templates that would be awesome.
Hugo is great! gohugo.io
This is what I used before I wrote my own blog backend. And there are lots of great themes already created for it, that can be easily modified.

The world's fastest framework for building websites
Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. With its amazing speed and flexibility, Hugo makes building websites fun again.gohugo.io
unfortunately not an option for CMS, or am I wrong?
There's plenty of CMS systems which output to a static site, I've even seen folks do zany things like run WordPress behind a firewall and use a static site generator to rebuild the site for production.
AND SO ARE YOU! 🙂

Over and over again the research on cooperation says: human beings are highly cooperative.
But we don't believe it. WHY?
This massive global study (over 100k participants from 125 countries!) finds we are highly cooperative *and* that we underestimate others' cooperation. The likely reason is because as a species we survive with cooperation but the costs of potentially being betrayed are so high that we are over-vigilant about the possibility. This can be MOVED

Anarchists have been saying that for centuries! I believe that those who rule don't want people to have that knowledge. They want to create/ maintain selfish societies in order not to lose their grip on power.

qBittorrent, the most popular BitTorrent client, has released version 5.3 and it is a big one, defaulting to supporting both v1 and v2 torrents. Previously you had to D/L a separate v2 client, and almost no one did that.
v2 torrents support individual file torrenting. If a file you want to D/L from a torrent is also included in 10 different torrents you now have 11 sources, not just the one from your initial torrent file. This should really help with abandoned torrents and disappearing files.

what about one of the worst offtenders in tech, AI? Your org seems to have gone completely soft with its stance which honestly can't really coexist with personal computing. Hardware and software that serve individual interest has never been more out of reach in the last decade so pardon me if I can bs on your posture.

We will not replace the drive for the next 2 or so weeks. The hosting company ran a more detailed test and they said the drive is ok for now. I am trapped in a very busy and difficult period of time so doing it now would have been very difficult for me.
Therefore we will postpone this. And I am happy with that.
When we will do it we will let you all know.

We need to urgently replace our server drive that is failing. Starting today our TROM.tf may not work for hours or even days.... keep an eye here status.tromsite.com
Maybe is better to replace it now than wait for it to fail. If you use TROM Social, Videos, Nextcloud and the like in the next hours/days your data may be lost, so you know.
There are better ways to migrate but I, Tio, am currently too busy with too many personal problems and is the best I can do.
Please share.

in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •@cwebber It's from the food delivery app Just Eat, which in the UK in recent weeks has started using AI to produce images of dishes if the restaurants fail to provide their own. With some hilarious fails, of which this is not even the most ridiculous.

This meme was specifically designed to be shared by ppl who would go on to subliminally trigger an addicted person in their friendship group to buy a softdrink from a usa brand that supports genocide. it was made by the cia/deep state. That's what i was saying wrt the cia love llm art, its their bread and butter these days
amazon's biggest client is the cia. burning electricity, water and other resorces to extract from and attack working class ppl is the preserve of the deepstate/cia as it always has been. the llms are just the next tool in their belt and yes they will do anything to expand this abuse, including labelling ppl who dont want more datacenters as chinese bots/agents/commies, which they really do.
