Ya that's why I think it's presently unrealistic, because corporate greed would absolutely make it ad riddled garbage.

But AR and machine learning, so it can take my personal and work tasks/goals, things I purchase or otherwise acquire (like gifts, other free stuff, things bought outside a digitized marketplace), on hardware and heavily secured but otherwise able to access the Internet.

I essentially want a video game style HUD IRL. It would help so damn much with object impermanence and low functioning short term memory. Oh yeah, I forgot I had this thing or this side quest waiting, without having to manually track it.

Tried using a productivity suite for personal stuff a couple times and just swept it aside. Granted it would probably end up adding to notification fatigue anyways.

Is there any tool that makes it easy to host videos on my website and emulate the YouTube watching experience?

Like, people go to my website, watch the video in a player, then when it ends they get a few tiles either of other videos I have up, or recent videos from others I've approved? Maybe it just pulls links and thumbnails from specific RSS feeds I list somewhere on the backend?

Who would bet against those fires in a platformike that?

Is that not what a live USB is?

The player is easy enough, it's the bandwidth of hosting video files that'll kill you. That's why YouTube took off in the first place, free third-party video hosting changed the entire game.

A phone app that automatically accepts calls from suspected scam numbers, robocalls and unknown numbers and immediately mutes the mic, keeping the call going until the machine on the other side of the line disconnects and marks my number as non-working.

This has been how I've gone down from multiple spam calls a week to just a few a year. I'd really like to automate that.

This is such a weird take. Your healthcare professionals need to be able to share your data with specialists safely and securely. That's what HIPAA is about from my perspective, and everyone I work with. If you want effective care, you need to be able to share your medical data without fear of it leaking. The fact that people abuse the system is a separate problem

A car that fixes itself like Christine. Without the murderous part, of course.

I hear Lemmy is pretty good but I've never used it.

Sorry, the murderous part is part of the package. Every fix on mine requires a blood sacrifice (usually my own but I'm sorely tempted to just chuck a squirrel in there one of these days).

I want a program that will digitize my brain and give me control over all the inputs and weights.

Free me from this accursed prison of flesh!!

HIPAA is a framework for CONTROLLED sharing of data.

Privacy = controlled sharing of data

HIPAA has a lot of problems. But it's not some trick.

yeah, I'd be happy to test it.

You'd bet against the fires if you wanted a payoff when the fire doesn't happen. You pay when the fire does happen. So anybody who benefits from the fire world have an incentive to bet against it.

I had an idea, personally I just use the Google phone app it seems to do a pretty good job of blocking spam calls somehow. However I had a funny idea. I suspect that these robocallers May be able to recognize the we're sorry your call cannot be completed as dialed tone and words which may signal to them that the number doesn't work.

FYI, the dev has abandoned this software. It shouldn’t matter too much, because you should NOT put it on the internet as it has not auth at all. So it shouldn’t matter too much. But just fyi

Thanks for the heads up.

I always get nervous with these warnings because I never use anything remotely so I don't really know what it means to put it on the internet. Can it be put accidentally or it requires a series of steps for it to be accessed?

Depends on your setup. Is it at home behind NAT? You’ll be fine. If it is on a vps, you’ll need to block the port on your server.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine

I think Yousician had a vocals program, but I haven't tried it.

And it is not the bandwith, but copyright. If you're taking videos from different sources and rehost them on your own site, you will get angry letters from lawyers demanding money

There is sponsorblock for YouTube and https://github.com/ericmedina024/podcast-sponsor-block - so if your podcasts are on YouTube, that might work for you

Jellyfin has this awesome option "sort library randomly". I use that for music and it is great for discovery of music or to find music I haven't listened to in years. So maybe try this for movies and watch the first one?

Homescreen widget for my phone thats actually just a tamagotchi. Maybe it already exists and I just havent looked for it.

Having to open the app and shit is already too much hassle. But if its alive in the corner whenever I turn my phone on I'd love it.

Maybe? Connect it to the step-counter so it knows if its been a walk that day, or to earn food/medicine whatever? Already sounds overdeveloped.

Regular tamagotchi please.

I don't think many people that don't want a fire would use the platform...

A Rockstar version of Starfield/Fallout/Elderscrolls

Bethesda has become so goddamned lazy in their game mechanic design. Its 2026..an NPC should be at least smart enough to know I'm still fucking there if I leave their field of view.

Or whether I've already joined and completed their mortal enemies quest line and behave accordingly towards me as a result...

Or even just realising that of your company just got hacked, even if you didn't witness it, it might have something to do with the stranger that was fucking around in your server room...

Or at least react when I bump into them...

I dearly love Bethesda's open worlds. I love the settings, the stories etc... There are no games I would rather "live in", for lack of a better word. But those worlds deserve far far better NPC/faction mechanics

An open source, cross platform self paced learning app which gives you quizzes, text documents to read in a similar format to Wikipedia pages or Kinnu info slides, automatically revolving cards of text to glance at, a resizable and responsive UI that allows you to put it anywhere and still be useful, and an assistant to clarify information, chat with, and assist in creating documents to run in the app by using documents you feed it, which can be things like course work for uni or school, or informal self interests.

I have in fact wrote an app in python last year for a programming class that does the responsive UX design, the revolving text, and has a fair amount of settings (such as dark/light mode switching, text colour customisation, the ability for the window to be always on top and to remove the title bar when needed, and to import CSV files into the program to be part of the text reading database). I plan to continue adding features because I see it as a worthwhile endeavour since it assisted me in other highschool classes, and expanding it and making it available to anyone would be cool as hell.

Also everything will be locally ran because fuck the cloud, fuck SaaS and fuck tools that require internet to function.

Let's say you don't want a fire, like it's your data center. You'll want to get paid if the fire does happen. So you bet on fire, like you're buying insurance against it.

Two interesting differences from existing fire insurance.

• If you're not an asshole, then now you're just getting insurance at a better rate because there's more competing insurers.
• If you are an asshole, then you'll find yourself now paying the external cost of owning the data center, as higher insurance rates.

That's the real point of this software. It would allow crowdfunded defense against people who are destroying the world and own the legal system. Most participants would just be minimizing costs or gambling, not ideologically motivated.

Make it a silent CLI and I'll bundle it with the windows builds of my tools.

Fully featured Open source drivers for all popular devices. RINA implementations for all major platforms and architectures.

Shoot me a DM and send me some sheets to work with, I'll post a repo link with a proof of concept and we can refine it from there

Dood this sounds like such an amazing idea! Care to share (or collaborate)? This would fit right in with the other applications I'm developing and I would love to contribute

I've been doing it this way for a while too. Glad it's working for others

My point is that people would have an incentive to bet for the fire and then cause the fire, so once a bet is published chances are that the fire will happen.

You know we have invented drugs more powerful that that? However they kill you sooner or later.

No thanks, satan. My body is a temple. /s

I think it is fair to assume all drugs that give you feelings compared to orgasm are addictive as hell which makes them very easy to overdose :)

Mankind would be doomed if such a drug existed. Well maybe not doomed but like you’d notice a severe drop in birth rates.

gotta rely on ex-wives of billionaires instead i guess

I want to be able to click a download link and it automatically starts the download in jdownloader instead of the browser downloader

I think it depends on the harness.

Like the LLMs are not good at keeping narrative structure intact, but with a harness that could create a playbook of known information for each AI character that the current LLM that you are interacting with can reference, then it could contribute to emergent gameplay and help build a relatively vibrant world.

The real downside is that it would require an entire data center as a bare minimum to run all of the LLMs, like the technology is still too raw and new for it to make financial sense unless people were willing to pay $500 or $600 a month to play this game.

I used to work for a startup back in 2009 that used semantic tagging and your social graph to improve results on the big three search engines. It was a pretty cool idea with the semantic tagging (type "apple" and you would get a drop down to select apple the fruit, Apple the tech brand, Apple the record label, etc.) and then your search results were filtered to what you were looking for. They pivoted and added your Facebook network so others using the system that you knew would prioritize results with the assumption that if you were searching for something that someone you knew had already searched for, it was likely that their findings were relevant. Yes, a ball of privacy issues to be sure. Always anonymous, and you could opt out of sensitive searches being included, etc. But, it did provide some means of social proof in your search results. Short lived job for me as funding ended and I moved on to create my own company.

There would need to be sufficient market depth to pay someone to act. So we couldn't just publish $0.01 bets on everything and watch the town burn. "Coasian" solutions like this are limited by transaction costs.

In practice, the owner of the datacenter would need to either eliminate the externality or watch it burn. If the datacenter is worth more than its external cost, then they can reimburse their victims or pay for cleanup. If the revenue from the datacenter is less than its external costs, then it's a net loss for society and ought to be shut down.

You could host your own peertube instance

a Social Network that uses usb flash drive

instead of the web it is that people physically exchange flash drives to share content

it just needs 1 thing: not having to manage configs or directory on the flash drive

and then everyone involved immediately gets every piece of malware that currently exists within the first day

Something (app whatever) that divines the "evil" in all the things I need to buy, for me, without me having to do research on who has sold out, who is supporting killing babies, who is killing the rainforests, who is using child slave labour to extract their products etc etc. It's fucking exhausting and monotonous, you can't just check once, you gotta click refresh every bloody day. It's doing my head in. I just want to buy stuff that I can eat etc, that isn't tainted in others blood. Fuck this timeline, I can't wait till it corrects itself, shit gunna be glorious. I'll be there with some ethically sourced popcorn and a Molotov.

Oh No But I May Just Make The Program Not Work If There Are EXE Or Executable Files On The Drive And Make An Error Or Whatever

I really like the idea of a Sneakernet where its operation is somewhat abstracted rather than entirely manual.
