In this example, where only the sun is pictured in relation to an indoor window, and no other information is present, it would be very difficult to make any kind of meaningful calculation. You could probably identify some information about the camera based on the proportion of the disk of the sun, but unless you had some additional information, such as the precise dimensions/compass direction of the window, or the location of the horizon, It would be impossible to make a calculation of this type. There just isn’t enough information.

The site is a web app. You can install it from your browser. It’s way better than IMDB and I’m not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.

If every browser and every piece of tech attached to them disappeared tomorrow, we would immediately reinvent them.

Having a program to display interactive information from a network is far too useful for communication. Websites are just code that is purpose-built for being rendered by browser software, and a network to exchange the code. Even when the internet was text-terminal only, people still created ASCII art, text tables, etc. There is technically software (such as word processors, ereaders, etc.) that can render webpages, but how would you connect to a site? How would you do anything useful? Companies would have to add those features to existing software. If you think Edge is a pain, wait until you have to surf the web in MS Word!

Yep. In some cases, Google play sales subsidize FOSS users. In other cases, if the user count is not high enough through all sources, it’s just not worth it for the devs to keep working on a niche project. F-Droid users are a tiny fraction of users, and ROM users are a fraction of F-Droid users.

Several projects have already announced sunsetting in light of this announcement. It’s hard to predict what will come of even major projects like F-Droid, but there will absolutely be a major cooling effect on the entire platform.

Get in now before the enshittification.

Who cares? Is anyone still on X other than bots, nazis, and a few misguided journalists?

Hasn’t been relevant since 2019

To me it doesn’t read as AI at all. It’s a bit bloviating, but that is the style of a lot of blogs.

Never heard of this. But even if you could connect to them, how would you cool it?

Edit: never mind, that’s exactly what the article is about.

There is also Morphe, which is fine for me.

Is there a file system graph that’s not a tree? Like a folder that contains a folder that contains itself?

I couldn’t quite follow all that. TLDR?

Thanks, I did not realize. I just did a quick search because I remembered an app but couldn’t remember the name. Must be something else.

Edit: Maybe it was mapillary after all. They were acquired by Meta in 2020. A better option looks to be KartaView.

Yeah. They’re cheap and easy to clean up.

I’d love to see that wonderful interoperability we were all promised. It should be possible to have one identity/account that’s connected to multiple services. I should be able to log in once, post some thoughts on Mastodon, share a photo on Pixelfed, and comment on a PeerTube video. Some services have tried to combine various formats with a little success, but it has been very limited, and generally broken.

Not the one you’re replying to, but I’d generally agree.

If someone wants to post on Peertube, they basically either have to have the time, funding, and know-how to self-host, or arrive with an established audience. Someone with great creative talent does not necessarily want to run an expensive and complicated software project. Someone who has an established audience has very little incentive to jump to federation.

PeerTube is improving slowly. There are now a few instances with open registration, which could mean more fertile ground for good content. We shall see.

Absolutely. The organizations that have the most to gain and the most capability to manage instances are

• local governments,
• news publishers/journalists, and
• Universities

These are groups that have unique publishing and legal mandates that already have the IT departments and adequate sway to compel users. They already host email and websites, and regularly come into conflict with corporate messaging platforms.
