  • I personally use NextCloud Memories! It works really well. Unfortunately two drawbacks:

    • Its recognition can mostly get "animal" but I imagine it misses a lot of "cat." I also put in custom tags "Cat - (name)" to differentiate, but that's not automatic and I'm sure my collection is imperfect.

    • Facial recognition; it only recognizes like the first face it sees? It can't handle multiple people in an image. Really strange. The face recognition is also currently limited to humans. Big whomp-whomp!

    But as for integration with the rest of NextCloud, Memories is quite fantastic and I like it a lot. :)

    (If you wanna mess with NextCloud, I HIGHLY recommend the AIO (all in one) install)

  • This is the way. I just auto upload them to my NextCloud. That being said, I just shared the meme, I didn't make it. 😅 Hahaha

    I agree people getting like 2TB phones is kinda ridiculous!

  • I mean you could . . .but we all are just gonna gleefully watch it share the details of everything it said it was gonna do anyway. Heehee, neat!

  • I hear you about Mastodon. I want to use it and find "my people" there, but it's unfortunately just eery quiet, and I don't see a lot of conversation happening. Most posts just have zero replies, even.

    I did get a shockingly nice set of welcomes from people when I used the "first post" hashtags or something. That was cool. It has the potential to be cozy!

    It's weird, because we're naturally social creatures, so what part of the "culture" drives such a specific lack of engagement, I wonder?

    But also the etiquette can be a bit confusing. I'm on a gamedev oriented instance, so they're like "Hey keep it on topic please."

    ...So I guess it's not a place for my cat pictures or random life musings? And yeah thanks to the modern nature of the Internet, most people take "community" to mean "Networking opportunity to promote (or recruit for) My Thing."

    Even weirder, I notice engagement falling off here on Lemmy but...damnit I got thousands of comments racked up. It's practically a writing exercise space for me at this point lol. But it feels less personal.

  • Haha that's awesome. Thanks for the bit of local lore!

    Sounds honestly like it'd be a bit of a spooky spot secluded in the middle of the night. Frisky teens do be pretty crazy brave. <_<

  • What happened here??

    Jump

  • Weird possibility! I once tried to lubricate my machine and put a drip or two on the threaded Z axis rod. BAD IDEA.

    This lead to VERY minor slippage once the gantry hit a certain height, and it would do exactly this. Lots of loud collision, very scary.

    ...So make sure your Z rod isn't slipping, or slippery?

  • The tech has evolved a lot. Especially in the FOSS area! And I am thankful for the progress. But along the way, the average culture is what I miss the most. Do I miss the very convoluted, fragile, non-standardized, and hard to configure hardware? Heehee naw.

    This image is nostalgic because it recalls when personal computers were conceptually personal, even when they were public. New tech was fun and exciting.

    Some of my fondest memories were easy LAN parties and collabing on XP-era machines in my 3D Studio MAX class. Also, computers didn't feel near-useless without an Internet connection.

    It's been said before but bears repeating: "The Internet was a place." It didn't follow you everywhere, spy on you, sell you out. You weren't supposed to divulge your whole life to strangers, but somehow you still made new friends.

    People logged in to hang out. Heck, know what I miss most? People seemed to have TIME to log in and hang out. Even busy people. These days I feel hurried to smash out a text message while in motion.

    People made personal, expressive, whimsical websites for fun, and not just as a hopeful web-dev portfolio. The Internet was only about making money for tie-wearing squares; everyone else just did things for the fun of it.

    I think that's what we miss. People were learning and using these miraculous machines that were capable of anything.

    Now the machines are consumption-first appliances primarily aimed to drain your wallet and personal information, and the people have gotten so dumb. Computer literacy dropped with all the rest of kinds of literacy, and I long to find a way to push against that tide...

  • I think that's how we learned though. Just learning to do things with a computer was basically Montessori for geeks haha.

    When knowledgeable people were present to ask questions to, especially. I find computing itself really isn't properly conveyed in a "lesson 1,2,3" format.

  • The Internet was for anybody. I think it was a mistake to foist it on everybody.

  • I'm a Blender hobbyist, yeah. I wouldn't say I'm "into" animation yet but I'm taking a course right now. Making a ball bounce believably is insanely hard! But I'll animate one day. :)
