  I have a nextcloud instance and I can confirm that the ai features are plugins, and are opt-in (and also pretty cool, as ai feature go)

  Search your heart. You know what it’ll be.

    I don’t even have to search. I already know it’ll be preinstalled/hidden opt-out based on current tech industry trends. :/

    I’d usually say that I’m hoping for the best prepared for the worst but honestly at this point I think I have 0 hope, and I’m only prepared for the worst.

      Thats from the current nextcloud docs:

      We strive to bring Artificial Intelligence features to Nextcloud. This section highlights these features, how they work and where to find them. All of these features are completely optional. If you want to have them on your server, you need install them via separate Nextcloud Apps.

        I’ll sleep much better because of this, thanks again!

        I wish I could upvote you twice but you have my thanks!🤗❤️

        Goddamn

        Thanks!🤗

  No. Anytime who has actually done MSP work understand that most businesses are not purchasing office. They are purchasing a compliance and technology and identity control plane that has just about every add on a business needs.

  Personal office use has always been a nice secondary.

    MSP?

      The other person is correct. Managed service provider. The folks running the SaaS, Hardware and sometimes compliance.

      Managed service provider. Basically corporate IT.

  I actually want AI on my Nextcloud. As long as it runs locally. We’ve taken thousands of pictures over the years and desperately need some help in categorising them. Unfortunately so far I wasn’t able to find any reliable way to automate it.

    Have you tried Immich? It runs local and is open source. I haven’t yet but was planning to soon as I have the same struggle

    • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah, trouble is that it doesn’t really work well with Nextcloud together so I would have to migrate all of my devices.

      And in the end it doesn’t work much better than NC.

    Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They’re much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!

    • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, I love giving other people access to my private pictures I explicitly don’t host on Google, Dropbox or other external clouds. I usually pay them from the hoard of gold that’s stashed away under my bed.

        Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that’s your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

  It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.
