While I’d generally agree, I don’t think fediverse platforms having a monopoly is as dangerous.

Social media requires a sort of monopoly to work well, I think federation is a good approach here.

Precisely this.

The user is free to use whatever they want but I’m quite sure windows won’t read their mind either so that argument (if you dare to call it that) is pretty much weightless.

I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands

Lmao are you serious? Did you struggle with it not opening the right applications unless you click the right icons as well?

Hi guys

Yeah unfortunately we’ve started calling any LLM “AI”

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 23 points 6 days ago (6 children)

"AI" (as in LLMs for the sake of having LLMs accessible on your phone) is so fucking useless...

From a technical standpoint it's pretty cool, I love playing around with Ollama on my PC every now and then.

But the average Joe seems to think it's some magic being with absolute fucking knowledge you can talk to using your phone. Apart from being stupid, I think this might actually endanger human capabilities like critical thinking as well as reasoning and creativity.

Ich hab ja irgendwie schon das Bedürfnis, mit einem Kommentar der eine sehr hohe Summe beinhaltet die DDR zu entschulden.

Ob das geht? Keine Ahnung. Macht man nicht. Daher hier eine 1€ Spende von mir.

BeaconDB has been a thing for a while now and there is a decent amount of data already... but ideally you'd want it to be reliable in as many places as possible.

You can also use it as your location provider with geoclue (default on heaps of Linux distros) and microG on Android which I find incredibly useful on my Laptop!

So please, if you have an Android phone, consider contributing. It literally takes seconds to set up and requires no account or API keys.

This section on the official website lists some awesome apps to use:

NeoStumbler

  • user friendly app for easily submitting new coverage
  • download on F-Droid or GitHub
  • as of version 1.5.1, just click yes when prompted to set the endpoint to beaconDB
    • for older versions: in Settings -> Endpoint -> Suggested services, select beaconDB to automatically apply the correct configuration

Tower Collector

  • long established app for collecting cell towers
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • the latest versions of Tower Collector upload to beaconDB by default!

Network Survey new!

  • robust tool for comprehensive local data collection
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • on the main screen, under Upload to Database, open Upload Settings to enable submitting data to beaconDB

As a bonus, here are my current NeoStumbler stats after a few days of mapping here in the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main region in Germany :)
