  • I believe the biggest hurdle (even bigger than the mountain of tech and capital needed) is people having the will to try to migrate to something else.

    Everyone talks big about stuff beong crap but almost nobody puts an ounce of effort into trying, even when there are viable alternatives, the slight amount of discomfort of actually making the switch is enough of a deterrent to actually do it.

    Think of when everyone were doing that reddit blackout where they would solemnly swear they would come back after pretending they would abandon it, lemmy existed, forums existed, nothing was one-to-one with reddit so barely anyone actually did leave or even tried replacing it with something else.





  • Anyone knows of a google lens translation alternative? I use it to share memes with a friend who doesn’t know English without having too manually replace text (these days it’s pretty good with context).

    Ideally I would love to self host a thing that would do that, I don’t think it would be too complicated to vibe-code some self hosted translator plugged into a image to text reader/replacer or however you’d call that… But the fact that it sounds simple to vibecode makes me think it either already exists or is way more complicated than it sounds.
