@methoddan @FLOSS_Weekly I hope I didn't go off on too many tangents

[methoddan@mastodon.social]

@andypiper @FLOSS_Weekly It sounded great to me. I learned some stuff as well.

Such as, generating alt text descriptions for photos. A potentially positive use for AI in this area. Tusky seems to be doing that for me. At least I think it's the client end.

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@methoddan @FLOSS_Weekly yes, and I think that's probably a great place for that to happen (in a client app, with the user able to adjust, rather than baked in to every instance).

@andypiper @FLOSS_Weekly What was the name of the app you mentioned that lets you catch up easily or get a summary of the last few hours?

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@methoddan @FLOSS_Weekly Phanpy (https://phanpy.social - PWA) has a catchup feature. There are also Murmel and Fediview, which offer different methods of doing something similar.
