thank you for the information

Agree.

I also think a federated wiki is a great idea.

I think the way to do that is: instead of having separate realities/universes linked together by search and federation, try to unite those universes into a shared multiverse, to the greatest possible.

In other words

• ❌ merely give all federated users access to the same articles
• ✅ automatically link and embed similar articles into each other by default (collapsed, but expandable). similarity can be determined by authors’/contributors’ intentional citations, by instance owners’ filter rules, by LLM, etc.

of course, there may be attempts to obfuscate relatedness, astroturfing, brigading, whatnot. I wonder if its possible to visualize voting results for each duplicated/linked article along with the originating instance. I think this would function as a pseudo version of ‘community fact-checking’. Maybe a better name would be ‘reality-checking’ or ‘sanity-checking’ or whatever.

awesome, i hope it works out

I’ll third that (e)motion

edit: just remembered,

i haven’t tried these yet but i think they might do the same with enough setup

https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

https://github.com/huginn/huginn

I’ve heard that the later is used by journalists and osint investigators to gather & organize info automatically.

anyone have firsthand experience with either?

the rss app?

they would need to pair it with a search engine that offers custom rss feeds

so boring…

coincidentally, i hate the phrase “think of it this way”

thanks for literally devaluing all the work of my fellow translators and i that was stolen by Google and Bing and all the other crawlers/thieves.

it’s the same as with artists’ work being stolen by Stupid Diffusion and the rest.

not mad at you of course. but calling it free was too good a match for devaluing to pass up.

YouTuber Takashii just uploaded a video of street interviews in Japan on the topic of what tourists should/shouldn’t do in Japan.

at least one person said that in Japan, foreigners should try to speak Japanese. some people might see a Japanese thread instance as a little piece of Japan. especially since English language education there is not on a high level.

and monolinguals outside the Anglosphere do sometimes complain that their languages are being replaced/invaded by English.

that said, i think fediverse users (if that’s where you’ve been replying) are less xenophobic than general population.

just remember that in Japan if one wants to complain about another’s behavior, it’s common to go to one’s home turf or filter bubble to do so rather than speaking to the offender directly.

i think OP is implying the extra time that will be needed on foss volunteers part to review the code at the time [edit: ‘of’] release.

it’s like pouring liquid into a flimsy plastic cup. drop by drop, the cup can handle it. pour a lot all at once and the cup may tip over and spill.

damn… “Luigi’s Mansion” has a totally different ring nowadays…

anyone here ever use Winny (the Japanese predecessor?/copycat? of winmx) or “Share” (also Japanese p2p)?

any news about their developers?

wow I’ve been waiting for this feature on smartphones… feels like been waiting for centuries!

thank you for bringing this up!

my filter (keyword filter) for multibyte characters language (Japanese) is not working also. no matter how much or how little of the text i use as a filter.
