Why would I want to use it instead of or alongside with Syncthing? What does it do better?

Mastodon@lemmy.ml•Implications on Mastodon of a possible X ban in the UK
7·1 month agoI don’t think privacy will be ever an advantage of fediverse or any federated platform. Isn’t it actually quite opposite by design? The goal of fediverse is to make you and your account discoverable by anyone. You comments, your likes, your follows are public. Fediverse is for freedom not for privacy.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent
121·2 months agoThis platform is just evil, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it recently. Most recommended posts are just dumb tiktok-like short videos, sometimes soft porn even. All of these mixed with stuff posted by governments, politicians as it’s their way communicate with citizens. It’s just crazy, it’s like we replaced law gazette with posting official stuff in tabloids.

Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Release v0.19.15 and Testing for 1.0English
11·2 months agoIs there a reason why you gathered so many features in a single update? It seems to be challenging to test all these features at once, why not just publish them step by step in smaller updates? For instance, Mastodon have even split quote posts into two separate versions (first backend, then frontend) to make this process smoother.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton has handed over 32,076 users' data to governments since 2017. Their own transparency report states a 94% compliance rate in 2024.
79·2 months agoI’m using Proton for privacy, not anonymity. I’ve literally put my name and surname in my email address. I don’t care if someone knows that me is me.
But I do care that no one is reading and/or automatically processing my mails.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses?
1·2 months agoIt’s not “manufacturered”, so it’s not conspiracy. But it’s from unreasonable and unacceptable high demand.

Technology@beehaw.org•Spotify’s Prompted Playlists use AI to control your algorithm
5·2 months agoI hope this “AI” knows what language is used in songs. Sometimes I like to listen to songs in certain language (usually the one I’m actually learning). The potential use case would be to create a playlist with songs of certain language and genre I like.
As for now, it turns out it’s incredibly hard to do. For example even if you find, say, popular French song and use option to “find similar” then algorithm usually finds either songs with similar genre or even french songs but sang in English.

This attitude is plainly wrong. If you use Linux because it is free as “free of charge” then you are missing a point. You should use it because it is open.
I would even say that they should contribute the same amount of money to organisations that actually develop a software that they are going to use. Because they will certainly need support and security patches and this will never be free

It’s the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.

… and you understand it more when you build something by yourself, so it’s easier for you to fix it when it’s broken.

Yeah, that’s the idea, but they are still not there
