This is a really interesting and forward-thinking perspective on how AI could enhance Lemmy! I definitely agree with the idea that AI could bring some significant improvements to the platform, and your points about increased efficiency and engagement are spot on.
Thinking specifically about the Lemmy platform:

• Enhanced Content Discovery: Imagine AI tools that could analyze the content of links and posts to help users discover relevant communities and discussions they might be interested in, even across different instances.
• Improved Content Summarization: AI could assist in providing concise summaries of linked articles or lengthy discussions, allowing users to quickly grasp the main points before diving in.
• Automated Content Categorization and Tagging: AI could help communities automatically categorize and tag posts, improving organization and making it easier for users to find specific types of content.
• Enhanced Moderation Tools: As you mentioned, AI could assist moderators by identifying potentially harmful content, spam, or rule violations, freeing up their time for more nuanced community management.
• Personalized User Experience: In the future, AI could potentially help tailor the content displayed to individual users based on their interests and engagement patterns.
  Your point about the fear of being left behind is also valid. As AI continues to evolve, platforms that embrace these tools could offer more dynamic and user-friendly experiences. The ability to automate some tasks and enhance content management could allow communities to scale more effectively and foster richer discussions. It’s exciting to think about how AI could unlock new possibilities for the Lemmy ecosystem! Thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts.

My router (more accurately its software) has VPN support, using it for the whole network. You might be able to find one

Correct, but there is an Emby app for every device.

I do not normally say this, but please, for the love of fuck, make Gemini a premium feature

I wish the devs would just ignore the corporations. Refuse to let life and joy be damaged by some cuntish entity.

Mazda is asshole

I installed Windows 11 with an unsupported CPU, kinda funny how it just worked despite all their screeching that it wouldn’t work and updating not working, but installing with installation media was flawless.

It’s a real bitch, automatically logging me into my partner’s account for the whole system and overriding my local user settings when I open MS Office apps Excel or Word (but that’s just Windows), and it cries about my lack of TPM on those apps and the Start menu when it does log in and cries about me not being logged into a MS account otherwise, but you know what? Everything still actually operates.

Thank you, I tried to condense it and may have condensed a little too hard aha

Violence for the sake of violence is not the same as violence to stop violence. Everyone knows killing an abusive parent is morally grey whereas killing an innocent child is absolutely wrong.

I recently got a comment removed on the Fed because a mod misunderstood my comment. They thought that someone who maliciously harms the innocent is themselves innocent, therefore invalidating my ideal. My bet is they didn’t know what malice means, or they genuinely think that hurting people with no provocation doesn’t make you a bad person.

I looked up the history of UK Parliament a while ago. Since conception there have only ever been two parties in charge: Conservative (used to be called Liberal) and Labour. Before merges and changes the main groups were called Whigs and Tories, both of which primarily became Conservative. Modern Liberals brought back the original Liberal Party, while Liberal Democrats were formed by part of Labour and part of the modern Liberals. They are pretty much identical in terms of actual change.

The only show of promise is that the Green Party have secured a massive increase in power, and there might actually be a chance of a difference in the next decade.

I got ecchi dolls (China knockoff, cheaper but decent) from a site called OtakuCrate once, they’ve emailed me to confirm that the R18 loot is back under new US regulations, which means future orders just require your legal identification. I live in Europe, so there’s no damn way I’m conforming to any privacy-invasive law, and I’m also not stupid.

Anything on Android 11 and below, at least, before the regulations were put in effect to take the feature from newer releases

Reminds me of just a few months ago when they sold the Samsung Galaxy S20-something using all the features that come with either Google Gemini 1.5-2.0 or Android 15. All features that my phone has. Nothing unique but the homegrown app store nobody likes

Indeed I did, I removed my speculative comments…

The curse of being a basic bitch Caucasian who doesn’t travel haha! My comfort zone is, unfortunately, roughly 12-18°C. >22 is discomfort, and >30 is pain for me haha

I’ve seen some people have issues with being able to punch qBittorrent through a VPN so that may be the first place to troubleshoot. Maybe Proton gatekeeps certain traffic? Other than that I can’t help, sorry.

To keep things simple, they must be left in the same location as wherever the download client puts them, and the client stays open. I use an organiser and very useful tool called Radarr, it monitors your downloads and it lets you hardlink the video files once they’ve completed, which both allows the download client to keep seeding, and the media server you may use to keep using it.

A hardlink involves some intimate knowledge of how storage works, it can be done manually but the best option is to let a program handle it for you. Note: To hardlink, the download location and media library location must be on the same storage device, and the Sonarr user must have write access to the downloaded file. For me, group write access didn’t help. This way it will not duplicate storage.

Generally, some areas and Internet Service Providers might crack down on torrenting of any sort, so using a VPN is a smart way to not get your IP noticed. My area’s authority and ISP don’t care, so I’m not too sure.

I put my chips (£100) on Emby.

I haven’t regretted my purchase. I can’t sell anyone on much either, because Emby does all the same as other services, except they’ve kept adding features while Plex kept doing the Google thing and taking them away. CPU transcoding is free I believe, as is remote streaming up to 10 devices for each user… Idk I paid pretty early on, but lifetime license is where it’s at. Subscriptions just open your asshole for greedy CEOs to fuck you. Best to keep subscriptions voluntary, like donating on Github or Patreon
