After nearly a year of Kagi. It’s actually painful when I’m on a device with just Google.

Would recommend if you are a knowledge worker or researcher, or just in a technical field.

Lemmy users very biased link to article that isn’t nearly as biased as they are purposefully biasing.

Maybe this community needs stricter posting guidelines to avoid this sort of drivel?

Except you can’t run it.

Every model You are downloading and running is simply just a checkpoint of llama…

Quit spreading that misinformation.

You, and the grand majority of everyone else, doesn’t have anywhere near the hardware to run the actual full deepseek model

Seriously.

This is a shit shit back to front now.

Nice to see that you never have to go far to find the dismissive toxicity of the Linux community no matter the platform.

It costs nothing to say nothing, when all you have is… Whatever you call this.

Even worse the majority of them are just reposts by bots scraping old personal stories people wrote, in addition to stories entirely made up by bots.

I think let me has less personal stories than read it because Lemmy isn’t infested by bots writing personal stories.

Or copying personal stories from previous posts, and recycling them for votes.

You underestimate the amount of bot activity on Reddit. Some threads on all are something like 70%+ bot comments, with most being at least half.

It’s crazy.

damn near every municipal government and municipal government office in the US.

You often will not be able to find news announcements or information without accessing Facebook

While there is a logical fallacy here I don’t think it’s a straw man.

It’s some form of two wrongs make a right.

Otherwise known by the modern term: Grifter

Kagi too.

I like the results, especially for research. Definitely worth it for me.

Better at what exactly?

Companies are monarchies.

A single person speaks for that company and drives the direction of that company the workers making the product have little to no say in the overarching ideals and principles of that product.

This is the way.

I do this. PFsense DNS resolver, and have loopback enabled.

DNS for all the domains points at a reverse proxy (Caddy) that handles valid HTTPS termination. So all my services have valid HTTPS certs, and devices on my network can access them normally.

Welcome to the day and age where courts have all the power :/

Like ~95% of the rest of the internet that uses cloud infrastructure.

Google, AWS, or Azure

What is your point?

If you’re not willing to engage in good faith, intelligent, discussion, please consider leaving the platform and making it a better place for the rest of us.

“I couldn’t be assed to read the article nor understand the problem, but I will assert my God given right to an ignorant opinion on it regardless”

Isn’t what this platform needs.

Unfortunately it won’t, assuming Lemmy grows.

Lemmy doesn’t get targeted by bots because it’s obscure, you don’t reach much of an audience and you don’t change many opinions.

It has, conservatively, ~0.005% (Yes, 0.005%, not a typo) of the monthly active users.

To put that into perspective, theoretically, $1 spent on a Reddit has 2,000,000x more return on investment than on Lemmy.

All that needs to happen is that number to become more favorable.

Heuristics, data analysis, signal processing, ML models…etc

It’s about identifying artificial behavior not identifying artificial text, we can’t really identify artificial text, but behavioral patterns are a higher bar for botters to get over.

The community isn’t in a position to do anything about it the platform itself is the only one in a position to gather the necessary data to even start targeting the problem.

I can’t target the problem without first collecting the data and aggregating it. And Lemmy doesn’t do much to enable that currently.

You don’t analyze the text necessary, you analyze the heuristics, behavioral patterns, sentiment…etc It’s data analysis and signal processing.

You, as a user, probably can’t. Because you lack information that the platform itself is in a position to gather and aggregate that data.

There’s a science to it, and it’s not perfect. Some companies keep their solutions guarded because of the time and money required to mature their systems & ML models to identify artificial behavior.

But it requires mature tooling at the very least, and Lemmy has essentially none of that.
