I haven’t dug into it yet, but does pdf compression strip screen readers’ ability to read the pdf? Like if I have alt text embedded in a pdf for a screen reader to be able to read, does it strip that out?

Asking because I try to keep ADA compliance in mind, regarding things like text on images. PDFs are great for keeping a page formatted exactly as intended… But they’re fucking awful from an accessibility standpoint, because screen readers typically can’t interpret them.

The go-to solution is to embed alt text that describes what is on the pdf. Because a screen reader can interpret alt text. But lots of sites (and I’m assuming compression methods) seem to strip this, for some reason.

Thank you very much!

It’s my favorite! I prefer it over Stirling.

More confirmation that NetBSD is the right choice for me :3

Not a clue myself, but when I have to choose, I go with Mistral. They used to have a very good policy last time I've read it. They're also targeting the European market a lot (and are located in Europe), which seems much safer than US or China in terms of data handling to me.

They also shared open-weight state-of-the-art models and ideas multiple times. The 7B Mistral was a thing for a while, and they were the first to ever publish an open-weight MoE model (Mixtral) I believe.

You're absolutely right no AI model is completely free of ethical flaws when it comes to training data.

But there’s a fundamental difference between models that have already been trained and those that are currently being trained using my data and files. I’m looking for the former—tools that respect privacy and don’t use my conversations to improve their systems (most people recommend thaura.ai for this purpose).

Furthermore, I’m looking for options that are less involved in ongoing human rights violations—no military contracts, no ties to governments involved in occupation, and so on.

Quite a few small models, not many large models (which are not gigantic frontier models either for the record).

The datasets used are all public domain or expired copyrights, like Common Corpus and Common Pile. There are also models like Talkie that are exclusively based on data from prior to 1930.

So you've got the Pleias Common Models, Comma (EleutherAI and people on Huggingface contributing), KL3M (Kelvin Legal Large Language Model), Apertus (ETH Zurich), and OLMo/v2 (Open Language Model, Allen Institute for AI) as good prime examples.

@Osm@lemmy.ml for your reference

I don't know of any AI that isn't trained on stolen data.

TreeStyleTab still exists.

The original and the best.

I’d sure like to see Adobe and their ilk get their comeuppance, so I won’t mind being wrong about this. We shall see.

Things are different now. AI can do a rewrite / refactor all night and fix whatever issues were there. Also these are offline apps, so it's not like they have to do migrations or care about uptime. I'll wait and see how things go.

Anybody know if there are nested tree tabs yet or do I still need sidebery? The biggest thing left for me is how sidebery opens links as child tabs

I'm typing this comment from a mini window. Actually works a lot better than I was expecting. Being able to resize is a nice touch

Might be good to use on a multitasking context, I could give it a try.

For the one Zork fan who hasn't yet heard this banger: https://youtu.be/4nigRT2KmCE?is=-hz0KQIcBxQ172fO

Looks awesome, hopefully zen implements this as a link interceptor.

I like the idea of having more alternatives in the online dating space, especially when developers focus on transparency and giving users more control over their experience.

I would love page screenshot though, not just what is visible but the whole rendered page as one, in a PNG.

Firefox can already do that. Right mouse click on the page, select "Take Screenshot" and then choose "Save Full Page". I actually did a meta screenshot, of the screenshot tool:

I don't get it but why not.

TIL!! thanks, hopefully this mini window is also useful!!

Firefox also has a PiP window.

Come back here

I think chromium does have picture in picture for video elements, but this'll be cool for us!

This is actually a pretty awesome feature. I'm surprised it's not already in all browsers. Definitely can help if you're doing work but also want to watch something, too.
