That’s a valid concern.

It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they’ve done this, what’s the likelihood that they’ll do something even worse later?

I’m not sure.

Perhaps getting computer vision that’s reliably better than humans costs a lot of money that a project like OpenStreetMap doesn’t have?

If it helps, here’s a (partial) list of ActivityPub software - I’m not sure why it doesn’t include things like Friendica or Owncast: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub

But regarding your question, the first example that comes to mind is PeerTube. Not only does it look to me like it was designed from the start with federation in mind (I don’t know this for a fact though), but it also seems pretty innovative with its use of peer-to-peer video streaming. This 2 minute animated video does a good job of explaining what it does: https://framatube.org/w/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3

Owncast seems somewhat similar.

It seems that most Fediverse/ActivityPub software is a “twist” on something that existed previously, but there is still a lot of innovation going on, instead of pure copies of existing centralized platforms.

I only read the text, didn’t watch the video, but from the text it didn’t sound like that’s what they were describing. It sounded like they will present images to people and ask them to confirm whether or not there’s an object there?

We introduce “MapTCHA”, a CAPTCHA that leverages the uncertainty of interpreting imagery with computer vision, and provides human verification for AI predictions: users are asked to identify images containing correctly interpreted objects, e.g. building outlines.

Edit: also, here’s the github they seem to be working from - https://github.com/ciupava/maptcha_dev

Edit 2: I hope they succeed, because it would be great to have an open source captcha that benefits everyone.

Absolutely! What’s weird is that Teslas have been top-rated for crash-worthiness in the past, so there are a few possibilities I can think of:

• They need to be top crash-worthy, because of the stupid autopilot trying its best to kill the occupants
• They need to be top crash-worthy, because otherwise any crash at all would result in a fiery death
• The Cybertruck is an outlier and is not as crash-worthy as the previous Teslas
• All of the above

What was that rule of thumb for taking multiple choice tests? If you don’t know the answer, always select “all of the above”?

Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto’s 0.85.

Holy shit, that means the Cybertruck fatality rate is around 17 times higher than the Pinto’s!

420 microplastics?

And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream.

The funny thing is that so is the idea of Melon Husk being some kind of mastermind.

You have really good insights about this, and it’s a great question. I wish it weren’t buried 5 levels deep in this thread, where few people may see it. Maybe you could write it up as a top level post on the Fediverse community?

I agree that the Facebook format is fine. The real problem with them is the algorithms. Oh, and all the data harvesting, advertising, and now bots pretending to be real people? I guess everything else about Facebook is terrible except the format!

Unfortunately, I don’t know. I read that mobile apps for it are few and far between? There may only be one or no app for Friendica on each platform. I think I also read that there are a couple of apps in beta at the moment?

I heard that it was one of the earliest Fediverse projects. It just hadn’t surged in popularity like Mastodon and Lemmy had after the Twitter and Reddit exodus.

Good to know, thanks.

Sure. The vehicle will under report speed and driven mileage with larger wheels and tires, and over report both with smaller wheels than tires. I’m not if it’s possible to adjust the speedometer and odometer, or if people even bother.

Apple maps if you have that option. Probably not the best for privacy, but better than Google maps for privacy and better than most of the alternatives for navigation.

I think this is the best answer here. I see this happen constantly in online discussions.

This is a good point. I’m pretty sure that if you’re active on Lemmy, PixelFed, Mastodon, or even have multiple active accounts on multiple instances of each of those (like a lot of people do), each single one of those would count as a separate active user. I really can’t think of any way that this wouldn’t be the case, because how would the statistics servers know that your the same person?

Me too. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it would be OK here because I haven’t been visiting this community for long.
