From my perspective mails are federated. If I want to explain federation as a concept to someone I always use mail as an example because everyone can write to everyone independent of the provider, you can selfhost it easily, you could move from one company to another (if you use your own domain), protocols are all FOSS.
So at least it's an open and distributed system. What would be missing for it to count as federated?
If you are on Android check out AntennaPod (available in F-Droid). It's legal and integrates with Apple Podcasts.
Some years back I've practiced lucid dreaming and managed to actively control my dreams a couple of times. While it was an exciting experience, it was definitely not as relaxing as a regular night of sleep.
So I would say, the startup's concept in general (solving work related issues while you sleep) might be doable but it would take away the night's relaxing element. So it would be more like working all night awake INSTEAD of sleeping.
I've always missed a rating/feedback/comment feature in F-Droid. A lemmy-based solution would be pretty cool.
Who is responsible to provide that fast food job? Does she have to apply for it herself? What if no one wants to hire her because of the bad media reputation?
From my perspective you don't necessarily need a simplified Android but only a simplified launcher. There are plenty of senior friendly launchers in the play store.
For government documents you need nothing but a plain old certificate to create a digital signature. If there is a single instance of trust (such as a government) there absolutely no point in using a blockchain.
Decentral NFTs for concert tickets would only make sense if you were looking for a solution to liberate the second market, i.e. people selling tickets to other people without involvement of the host of the concert. Such a model is neither beneficial for the hosts (as they wouldn't benefit from the second market sales) nor the visitors (as the second market typically leads to even higher prices). If you meant a way to return/trade tickets on a platform controlled by the host / the original issuer of the tickets, then there's again no need at all for crypto aside plain old, stupid certificates.
For people without IT background, I can recommend Mozilla common voice. They plan to release an advanced AI model for text-to-speech or speech-to-text conversion, e.g. for an offline, open source alternative to Amazon Echo, Siri etc.
To train the model they need at least 10000 hours of speech samples per language. So you can donate your voice by reading aloud small snippets, checking already recorded samples or making up new sentences.
I don't know about the real numbers but I feel like there's sufficient interesting content to check it several times a day. So if stays stable I'm pretty happy with status quo.
Im deutschen Google News taucht das immer mal auf. Sind aber soweit ich mich erinnere ausschließlich peinliche Artikel, maximal auf Niveau der deutschen Bild. :-D
0% compression. Amazing what AI is capable of nowadays :-D
Für mich auch nicht ganz nachvollziehbar. VW hätte aus meiner Sicht jedes Recht, in Europa den Service zu verweigern, keine Ersatzteile bereitzustellen usw. Aber dass man legal von VW China genauere Fahrzeuge einfach konfiszieren kann, wundert mich dann schon.
Wahrscheinlich hat VW China nur eine Lizenz für die Nutzung der Marke Volkswagen im chinesischen Markt. Ergo hat dann auch der Käufer nur diese Lizenz erworben. Aber trotzdem sehr sehr befremdlich das ganze...
