Hello to you!
I think timestamps of files would be one of the easier things, and try to track back to postings and comments that references the upload… ideally the logged-in account (which is the standard install of lemmy, only logged-in users can upload to pictrs)
Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.
It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.
Yes, that is in fact the context.
Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "
it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool… Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.
Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision
Give me a break! Can people really not connect the dots of a very obvious time-line?
June 16, 2013, during the Miss USA 2013 pageant in Las Vegas, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Organization, and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo announced that the Miss Universe 2013 pageant will take place in Moscow, Russia on November 9, 2013.
June 18, 2013 - Trump on Twitter praising Putin as his best friend, BFF. evidence: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trumps-tweet-best-friend-939986/
2013 is when the Saint Petersburg social media troll army was already online. Notable, the same Twitter that Trump is posting on June 18… evidence: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/maxseddon/documents-show-how-russias-troll-army-hit-america
November 9, 2013 - Trump is on Twitter saying he is in Moscow: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/399171340042661889
December 14, 2013 - Putin holds his annual “state of the union” address in Moscow and announces a new movement of global domination via “conservative values”. evidence: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/
February 20, 2014 - Putin orders Russia to invade Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation
.
Not even getting in the August 24, 2018 announcement by academics that Russia has seeded a pandemic response among the population with the troll army that went online in 2013 (#3 above).
And 2018, and February 22, 2022 … 2nd invasion of Ukraine response… https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/6/17656996/trump-republican-party-russia-rather-democrat-ohio
As far as I’m concerned, Russia is unstoppable. Nothing has reversed the trend that started over 10 years ago, and people think it is a domestic issue without understanding/learning one fact of how it played out… Oh my God, I’m so Happy!
I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is…
DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems to think it “sounds like” I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images… NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.
and avoiding link rot
Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.
Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.
Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.
Installing an instance was done pretty quickly… over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.
I tend to witness it like you describe too. I do not see people saying “oh, we were wrong, the pandemic wasn’t going to be over by Easter 2000 and it went on for years”… or really kind of admit that Fox News mislead them, or Alex Jones is a liar and they want to make sure that skills like his don’t keep influencing the next generation.
Why can’t people blame advertising for being fat… do you really need McDonald’s and Burger King reminding you all the time that they have food? At what point do you realize the influence that can be scientifically measured with advertising is real. What would the side-effects be of too powerful of advertising, Donald Trump? Obesity icon? If an advert does not work, they change technique, media outlet, agency, or they run it at a different time, they very much measure the increased sales. At what point do you look at your brain and go - oh, I can’t defend against weaponized snack food and soda. It’s engineered to make me crave it.
It’s a very personal experience. It really doesn’t take long to be exposed to something, maybe even a movie, through advertising instead of a friend actually recommending it to you personally based on experience.
why would you want to live knowing there are profiting manipulating you to purchase things you don’t really want and vote for people that don’t deserve it, etc. At what point do you stand up and realize that those people are organized and learning what other people will accept and using it on you? What kind of freedom is this, and why do you want everyone else to be treated this way too.
it is a sort of bug and deep down I think these people either want a rigid hierarchical society
sigh.
It’s quickly stomped out by groupthink.
that’s my observation too. Having lived in several parts of the world with very different religions and values… conformity is incredibly important to many people. The proven structure is to market some other group to hate.
But if you’re basically mentally healthy, the signs of cultdom seem so obvious to me that I have a hard time understanding why they don’t see them.
I spent a lot of effort facing the history of humanity was all over the globe people were cultist towards stories that had no basis in realty. They set food laws, clothing rules, marriage - all based on childhood stories they are raised on - much like the spoken/written language they were raised on.
I think people raised on Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Fox News - aren’t much different. It seems the human pattern is global and people who actually want to take a science thinking attitude of sincere facts and honest leaders.
he’s popular as a speaker for a reason
I think he has a natural talent to listen to what gets a rise out of people, what gets a reaction, and then copy that in his own way. What he says, once transcribed to written form, is often not very intelligent. It’s his mannerism and even his unique makeup and hair - that people listen to far more than his actual meaning. I find people who think Trump is a great person often have serious difficulty interpreting and understanding hard sciences like chemistry and physics… and are influenced by advertising techniques in particular ways.
But lemmy.world should primarily communicate via lemmy imo…
I find the same attitude holds for developers who like to hang out in real-time Matrix chat and don’t seem to use Lemmy itself very much and things like code blocks ruining greater-than and less-than slip right into release without much concern.
I’ve found there is a culture within Lemmy developers and long-time operators to discuss in Discord or Matrix chat instead of “eating their own dogfood” and using Lemmy itself to openly discuss Lemmy technical and project issues. These chat services are legendary for keeping things away from search engines and newcomers getting up to speed. Lemmy itself isn’t nearly as search-engine friendly as Reddit was traditionally, it seems like feedback needs to be given as to how important it is to keep things about Lemmy in the eyes of those who actually use Lemmy…
I can’t find it, but a dozen plus years ago I was reading an interview with Phillip K Dick, who was married 5 times, and during the interview one of his- wives was packing things - and he commented to the interviewer to just let them take what they wanted as he has already experienced this multiple times.
Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.
The numbers also don’t make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I’d be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.
Thoughts?
I haven’t tested with 0.18.3 to see if new features were added to front-end lemmy-ui, but based on my experience with earlier 0.18 releases… the “Sign Up” page of Lemmy needs to have a custom message added for each instance basically introducing the instance from the admins. The experience is pretty bad… on my instance I have registration closed and lemmy-ui still just presents “Sign Up” links and even the form. I think it’s pretty important to get this in the back-end now so that the evolving independent front-ends all support the custom message shown above/below the Sign Up form…
Seems like something that shouldn’t take a lot of coding to get added (admin screen has place to create custom messages like “Legal”) that would be a good lemmy network-wide focus on the newcomer experience.
It’s a variety of topics I find denial of reality to be increasing. Climate change science, including the history of how long ago people like Carl Sagan made it a widespread topic. Medical science with pandemics, nonsensical views on how vaccines work. Wild views about how windmills work and interact with the environment.
I don’t know why all of the other apps + web decided to break on me a week ago, but the only way I can reply to comments right now is because of Sync. Anyone else having this issue?
There is an open issue on GitHub. 0.18.3 seems to have changed the behavior of comment links. IN some cases, the comment specified isn’t even shown at all. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1999
July 30 comments when from 7.1 million to 9.9 million. In a single day?
they are called communities here
It is not even a mistake, it’s some pretty mind-fucked up on part of @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone to jump to such a conclusion. crap
