I love Veritasium’s deep dives into the scientists behind various inventions. We really ought to celebrate more people like Nakamura.

Pointing out that something exists doesn’t mean condoning its usage.

DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.

Calling the police for a wellness check is just legalized swatting…

Sooo many people… not reading.

You mean like this part?

It’s been fun but I’m not really a super user so I’m looking to back to Windows as my main OS.

I trust Reddit enough to manipulate the numbers to make the situation better than it looks like.

What? Nooo, Spez would never make undocumented changes to misrepresent things! Don’t be silly.

Your job is automating electrons, and now some automated electrons are threatening your job.

I have to imagine this is similar to how farmers felt when large-scale machinery became widely available.

Nah, they’re completely separate communities, so no real link that I can see there.

I dug around a bit, and one of the sites he was using to host the images was some weird 4chan-like image board. But it seems like he may have been trolling them, too, because even though it’s a degenerate board full of racist garbage, it’s not otherwise full of CSAM, and his posts were also deleted from that board eventually, too. So I don’t think they were willingly hosting those images, either. I mention this because I saw some people calling to ban links to that domain, which probably should still be done because it’s a trash website, but not because it’s a CSAM haven of any sort.

It makes me think that this isn’t targeted at any one community, just some random weirdo trying to make the internet a worse place wherever he can.

Also important to note: this feature will only really work against real CSAM. The images that were posted to this community weren’t real CSAM but were pictures/gifs of adult models, with titles/captions that would imply they were CSAM. I don’t think Cloudflare can do much about those.

At least, the handful of posts that I saw were like this. I’m doubtful that the guy doing this is uploading actual CSAM to the clearnet.

Just wait until the author discovers Gorillaz and Dethklok.

If it eases anybody’s conscience, they appear to be fake, so you probably didn’t accidentally see any actual CSAM, but rather somebody’s fantasy captions on otherwise legal material.

Internet Archive likely wouldn’t be able to handle it. They’re already struggling currently, as it is, and dumping a few petabytes of caches of the entire internet onto them probably won’t help.

Not that I give a shit, but I can see you potentially catching some flack for listing the USA as an “authoritarian regime” lmfao

Fuckin’ A.

What an absolutely absurd waste of resources. There should be some sort of enforcement/restrictions of energy usage from these clowns.

Thinking Google is “the internet” is probably part of the problem.

Yeah, that sound about right. I don’t remember it ever being confirmed what, if anything, was actually compromised by the leaks. But I doubt that we’d ever get specific details on something like that from the government, anyway.

Though I imagine that a lot of ongoing operations at the time probably had to be cancelled prematurely, the consequences of which might never really be known.

It’s been a minute since I’ve refreshed myself on the Snowden story, and I don’t have time to go deep into that rabbit hole again, but if memory serves I believe he released non-redacted documents that exposed the positions/identities of deployed US assets, and some who were operating undercover had their identities blown.

Is there an article about this, or is anybody able to confirm if the subtitles are accurate?

I agree, I’m not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.
