Exactly... People hanging on to windows for dear life pretending like they had to "learn" windows

I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page

OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i've been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.

everything is possible in excel... someone wrote a DOOM clone in excel.

I once worked at a company where someone hacked together a PO generating tool in excel 10 years prior and it just kind of stuck around even though the company grew into a billion dollar market cap public company

There's a whole documentary about reclaiming pepe called "feels good man"

The more we discourage people from using pepe because WP and shitheads, the more they win.

Thats why i said client side view. Each servers community doesnt know i'm viewing 3 communities together on my phone and it doesnt affect them

The biggest problem with lemmy for me is the multiple "duplicate" communities.

There should be a feature to combine them at the client level. So the 3 different "privacy" communities could just be viewed as one on my lemmy client

Suicide linux. Nobody can run it for more than a day

Edit: i just searched "suicide linux" to see if it still exists and one of the top results was ian murdock's wiki page, :(

Machine learning for helping a radiologist analyze images is super helpful and a mature field.

Whatever "AI" LLM nonsense tech bros are trying to add in to everything in the last 2 years is probably not all that helpful, but i could be proven wrong

I have always used conversation view in my desktop email client. Not sure why you think this is revolutionary or exclusive to gmail.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I think exiftool + bash script really is the way to go. A few years ago I had a similar need and searched for hours online... I ended up hacking together a "good enough" bash script that reads all the dates of my pictures and does some stuff. It took 30 mins of reading some basic bash scripting basics. Way less time than searching for a tool that probably doesnt exist.

In 2024, you can probably just ask chatgpt to write a quick and dirty bash script for you and it might require another 10mins of debugging/begging chatgpt to fix its mistakes

Sorry, my comment wasnt really directed at you specifically.... Just the fediverse general hate for all things AI

yours was the first that mentioned "art" which triggered me, lol

I think we are actually both on the same page... You have a reasonable view of the whole AI thing. It's rare on lemmy/mastodon

LLMs and image generating models are completely different things. Outputting an image doesnt require or benefit from reason and logic (other than making the model "understand" the prompt). Drawing a three headed monkey isnt "logical" and doesnt follow "reason" but that's ok because art isnt about making photorealisitic images.

AI images could totally be useful as a tool in art. "But a computer made it! It's not art!" It's the same tired argument we heard about electronic music before.

But the fediverse seems to have such a hate boner for ANYTHING associated with AI (dont get me wrong, there is lots to hate. Mostly with tech-bro grifting...) that people are unable to see that these can be useful complements to human creativity.

Here's another example... People crying that when an image contains AI generated elements, or maybe a video game contains some AI assets. People fly into a rage and want to dismiss the ENTIRE work and throw it all out. Human art doesnt require 100% human hands to make. Go look at any famous painting by a renaissance master. Did you know a lot of these guys had whole workshops of lackeys filling in background details for them? Are we going to throw out all the raphael and rembrandt paintings because they had assistance from other uncredited people?

Same with AI. Why cant an artist spend MORE time on important details and let AI draw some happy little trees in the background?
