Micr0byte<h1>📣 Announcing Altbot 2.0: The Privacy & Green Update 🔒💚</h1>Exciting news! After months of development, Altbot 2.0 is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.<h2>What's new in Altbot 2.0:</h2><ul><li>100% local AI processing for true privacy - unlike Google Gemini which saves data for training, Altbot 2.0 retains ZERO information about you or your images using the powerful Ovis2:8B model running on my custom AltTron server equipped with an A5500 GPU and expansion capacity for two additional GPUs</li><li>Full GDPR compliance with clear informed consent - I've implemented comprehensive privacy measures including transparent data handling policies, user rights protection, and minimal data collection practices that exceed GDPR requirements</li><li>Better quality descriptions across all 11 supported languages thanks to a newly developed translation layer specifically optimized for local LLM models</li><li>Significantly more energy efficient with a new feature that shows you exactly how much energy was used for each request! This efficiency comes from using a server-grade GPU optimized for lower power consumption, and 36% of the energy consumed is from clean sources mainly nuclear power (thanks to being based in Georgia)</li></ul>The only data Altbot 2.0 records:<ul><li>That a request happened</li><li>How long it took to complete</li><li>What type of media it was (image, video, or audio)</li><li>What language was used</li></ul>No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.<h2>Support Altbot's Future 💝</h2>To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ko-fi.com/micr0byte</a>Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:<ul><li>Free for everyone</li><li>Continuously improved</li><li>Sustainably maintained</li></ul>Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse! This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects.

Maria Langer | 📝 🎬 ⚒️🛥️I'm surprised the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AltText</a> proponents aren't screaming about this. It seems a lot more important. I didn't even realize that this was a problem for screen readers. I don't do this now, but I won't in the future now that I know about it. <a href="https://gts.authorhelp.uk/@office/statuses/01JP0EFX76SBGGM4SVGQQN05P2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gts.authorhelp.uk/@office/statuses/01JP0EFX76SBGGM4SVGQQN05P2</a>

JotaLuisHola, si lees esto y eres de l@s que publican imágenes, no te olvides de añadirle un texto explicativo <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a> .No tiene que ser extenso, de hecho no es recomendable. Solo la idea principal que muestra la imagen.No te imaginas cuanta gente te lo agradecerá: desde el incapacitado hasta los que la calidad de conexión no les ayuda.Excluir, no. Incluir, sí.¡Piensa en los demás!

Snippety Snap (she/her)My accommodations while on vacation do not have wifi, and my cell signal is crap, but y'all's alt text is winning the day.

DiotimaReminder: If you're marginalizing ppl bc they're not using alt text, you're being <a href="https://gamerstavern.online/tags/abelist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abelist</a>.Some ppl who are neurodivergent in a way that makes alt text impossible. You telling them to "just try harder" or excluding then is no diff than telling blind ppl to "look harder" or paraplegics to "just walk.Stop valuing ppl with <a href="https://gamerstavern.online/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> traits as less important than ppl with physical challenges.

NBC NEWS WATCH OUT POLITICS AND POLICY Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years. Second image:Raids and book burnings Nazi Party members at the Opernplatz book burning in Berlin On 6 May 1933, while Hirschfeld was in Ascona, Switzerland, the Deutsche Studentenschaft made an organised attack on the Institute of Sex Research, A brass band accompanied them as they arrived in the morning. After breaking into the building, the students destroyed much of what was inside, and looted tens of thousands of items — including works by authors who had been blacklisted in Nazi Germany. Following this, the leader of the students gave a speech before the institute, and the students sang Horst-Wessel-Lied Members of the Sturmabteilung (SA) appeared later in the day to continue looting the institute. Four days later, the institute's remaining library and archives were publicly hauled out and burned in the streets of the Opernplatz by members of SA alongside the students. A bronze bust of Hirschfeld, taken from the institute, was placed on top of the bonfire. One estimate says that between 12,000 to 20,000 books and journals, and even larger number of images and sex subjects, were destroyed. Another estimate says that about 25,000 books were destroyed.
