I don’t want to discourage the effort you put into trying to build something useful, so I’m trying to say this nicely… you’d probably get more interest if you built a moderation tool that doesn’t involve AI.
Lemmy is probably an unlikely crowd to be looking to for positive reception of an AI nanny bot. Even less so on .ml, and even less so on an open source community.
Yesterday I had a nice moment watching my SO use CoMaps for the first time via my phone. I was driving, so couldn’t mess with adding an intermediate stop to the navigation, and she did it instead.
Anyhow, she’s literally never used the app before, and quickly found the business listing and added it to nav. I mean, she’s a smart person so her competence is not a surprise, but it speaks well of CoMaps and OSM that someone who is used to using Google Maps exclusively for years could just pick up this FOSS app and do what she needed painlessly.
It’s encouraging to me to see how increasingly nice an experience it is to be able to not use Google or Apple maps at all these days.
I mean, media didn’t get copied over from the past, only from the point I connected it on, so it never functioned as a backup. I’ve still got years of message data on my phone that I want to sync to somewhere else so I can get rid of this phone.
Awesome, thanks! I’ve already got it connected to desktop since months ago and it’s not syncing, so I assume I’ll need to disconnect/reconnect in order to trigger the prompt. I’ll give it a shot.
How do you do that? I really need to, because my phone storage is full and I don’t want to lose Signal media sent over the years by my SO. I’ve poked around in the settings and can’t see any way to backup to desktop.
All I can find is a link that goes to a documentation site that says you can’t transfer from Android to Desktop: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages#desktop_restore
I’m interpreting the term in the way it’s defined according to Wikipedia:
User experience (UX) is how a user interacts with and experiences a product, system or service. It includes a person’s perceptions of utility, ease of use, and efficiency.
Facetime being intentionally limited to a single platform absolutely negatively impacts it’s UX by reducing utility, ease of use, and efficiency.
So you don’t consider it an impact on the experience of using a product when it either does or doesn’t function on your device? Sounds like a most basic concept of UX to me, but I dunno what you mean, maybe.
It was definitely on purpose, because privacy is more important to Signal than line-go-up adoption number statistics.
SMS is dangerous and insecure and everyone should stop using it immediately.
Literally all of that UX is the same and better in other apps though.
For example, every single part of your description applies to video and text conversations with my SO and friends, except we all use Signal. It “just works”, and better than Facetime because it doesn’t matter what device my SO and friends have.
With Facetime it doesn’t “just work” at all with the large number of people I know who don’t have Apple. That’s a huge disadvantage which means that Facetime UX sucks.
It wasn’t meant to be confrontational, sorry about that! I’m not judging anyone who is comfy with the stock experience, just saying that it’s not for everybody.
People want to interact with their devices in ways that fall outside the blessed functions permitted by the corporate designed pattern deemed appropriate for them. If corporate UI works for you, that’s great for you, but it doesn’t for everyone.
GNOME does this by default, so if it’s not working for your SO, they probably have installed some extension that modifies that behavior. I’ve never used Mint, but I think it’s pretty heavily modified from base GNOME, so maybe it has that feature disabled with whatever their suite of modifications does. I’d poke around in the panel settings if those are exposed to you in Mint.
Hmm okay, that’s true. I guess there’s another aspect missing from my description above then: no-code is for doing tasks in ways that resemble how you’d do them with code, but without directly using code.
Think about the nodes in Blender or Node-RED, or the blocks in visual scripting for kids to learn. It’s using the same concepts of code, but with varying amounts of abstraction depending on which example we look at.
WordPress is a CMS, that’s true, and is usually how it’s described. Specifically, though, the block editor is what I assume the OP was referring to as no-code. That part of WordPress is abstracted more than a tree of nodes in Blender, but they’re both examples of an effort by those softwares to make doing those tasks more approachable to users.
Inkscape could probably also be described as no-code if you squinted hard enough, since it’s letting you manipulate SVG tags directly without needing to open a text editor and know the SVG spec.
On the off chance you aren’t being intentionally obtuse to troll:
No-code is a term that refers to the perspective of the end user. Of course it is built using code, that’s not the point. The person ultimately using it doesn’t need to use any code to construct whatever the tool is enabling (automatons, websites, etc), which massively increases the target demographic who can use the tool.
I’ve been using n8n for years, but their constant (admittedly mild) nagging to upgrade is bugging me lately, so I’ve been looking into alternatives.
Kestra looks promising, but I haven’t played around with it much.
Anyhow, I’m appreciating the perspective of the article you shared. Thanks!
It’s not that simple for everyone, though. I can’t deposit a check through my credit union’s website, unfortunately. Also, because it’s a credit union instead of a corporate bank, it’s not like there’s a branch next door or anything. The closest branch is literally a day or two of driving away from me. I have to use a mobile phone and their app to do check deposits.
No? That’s not what I said. I’m assuming here that you are engaging in good faith, though I’m genuinely puzzled how you can continue to draw the conclusions you seem to have drawn from reading what I wrote above.
What I did say is that the people posting content without getting compensated for it are more likely to be doing it out of pure passion. The people posting on corporate platforms who also refuse to post on open platforms are doing it primarily for the money. They undeniably are less passionate about their content because of that. If they were as passionate as the first group, then they’d also be uploading to open platforms because it would be more important to them to get the content shared than to be guaranteed revenue from every single platform.
I also said that the people who are posting content on open platforms without any promise of revenue are more in need of donations than people posting solely on corporate platforms that have a revenue model rewarding creators. The latter group is already getting compensated by their corporate sponsors and ads. The former are not being paid on the open platforms, and need viewer donations far more because of that. I can’t see how any of this is controversial in any way. Artists deserve to be compensated for their work, most especially when they openly give their work into the commons.
I must have written it in a confusing way or something, because people seem to have missed my point.
I’m making an argument that we need to be supporting creators who do it for passion. I’m not saying they shouldn’t make any money from it, I’m literally saying the opposite thing. They already do it for free, and we should donate to them more.
Isn’t all of their concern kind of demonstrated to be unfounded? CoMaps forked the exact codebase being discussed and moved to Codeberg already, and they’re doing great now. Whatever it is that the Organic Maps team thinks is indispensable on GitHub is clearly not actually an insurmountable challenge to ditch.
