Personal open-source experiment — alpha stage
Yet the version number is above 1.0 . which is kinda confusing. i suggest fixing that somehow.
Is there an algorithm deciding what I see? Your home feed is the people you follow, in the order they posted. Nothing is injected, ranked, or buried to keep you scrolling. Discovery happens through hashtags, trending posts, and your server's local timeline, all on your own terms.
At least lemmy and piefed do have algorithms. also there should be a link to github/codeberg so that people could actually provide feedback on what is wrong with the website (and generally speaking we prefer open source around here). like in fediverse party which lists the link.
This is what happened to r/fossdroid and r/opensource
I have to admit i don't think there is a significant drop in quality in r/opensource . and honestly reddit is declining in quality as it gets more popular IMO so i am not sure correlation implies causation even if it exists.
Please don’t reply saying but Linux uses LLMs, or other whataboutisms. There is a significant difference between code quality from people submitting to Linux and a slopper who vibecoded a project thinking they’re helping.
Problem is "AI slop" basically means "bad AI code" which is subjective. i am sure the guy from xlibre thinks xorg is terrible .
Thanks for sharing this. Maybe correct tagging could be useful. Makes it easier to ignore but not overly heavy and possibly toxic.
If i am just posting these projects i found which i think are interesting (which i did a lot of). i am now suppose to spend more of my spare time researching if they include AI? I am pretty sure i won't be able to know most of the time .
There are not a a lot of projects i think people will be interested enough to do a "high effort evaluation". if anyone is that interested he can just ask, or check out the code which should be fairly rare.
AI has been here for a while. If it would have caused FOSS communities to be flooded by AI it probably would have happened by now. We should try and avoid the bias of risk aversion.
Looking at AI . it reminds me of how for wayland there was constant criticism even if it was just plain wrong and just made people overly scared . the plain wrong stuff was highly upvoted and i didn't always have time to correct it, plus people being disrespectful discouraged me from discussing it because i didn't feel it will be productive . now wayland is pretty much accepted as "good" by most of the FOSS social media communities in my experience. when a new technology appears. it takes time and effort to study it deeply and it's advantages and disadvantages . And i suspect people in social media are often not the first to do that honestly.
I am highly skeptical this will lead to anything. i will use closed source if it's better for me and saves me time but this does not seem like a good product (why not just use lemmy/piefed?).
Just having federation could bring more users to your site, which could lead to more ad revenue. of course some in the open source space really don't like ads. phoronix allows to pay you to go ad free and seem to be doing ok for the last 20 years. it's founder seems to be working full time on the site for the last 13 years. And honestly people also just use ad blockers (myself included). If you don't block ad blocker that could also help.
It could go a long way if you will invest some of that revenue back into the fediverse and open source. valve isn't really a open source company and steam is not open source but it seems to be liked due to investing in FOSS.
You can just open a community on lemmy or piefed and it should pretty much be what you asked.
But a system where users could say the are willing to commit X amount of money per month to pay a moderator to moderate it is probably going to improve the chances of that really happening.
Market share of linux in canada has been gradually increasing for around 2 decades (download the CSV for a clearer representation of the data). the more popular linux becomes the more likely it is the government will switch to it (more software support, funding etc).
Shouldn't pylova appear here? would be interesting to see if it is gaining momentum .
i look up reviews and rating on alternativeto.net , search it on openhub and sometimes add projects i might be interested it (openhub reports development activity). i sometimes search for reddit for what people say about it.
There are a bunch of websites for user reviews, but honestly i haven't used them really iirc.
This is what i am getting:
{"state":"a4202528-d297-4646-a173-8f89a35abdc8","oauth_provider_id":1,"redirect_uri":"https://voyager.lemmy.ml/oauth/callback","prev":"/","expires_at":1783434115460}
on the response tab i am getting:
error "oauth_login_failed" cause "invalid type: null, expected a string"
