And the statement that it wasn’t encrypted, just compressed, is an entirely antagonistic reframing.

There were multiple block lists. Some right in the open, and one that was stored as a monolithic .dat (I assume the one he called “compressed”).

The end result is that the second list was obfuscated from not only end-users, but also “admins” hosting it, and developers attempting to work on the project.

The compression decision only holds if all of the filter lists were compressed and this decision was clearly documented.

Plus the circumstantial evidence that the “enable toxic mode” option did not in fact disable the filtering that relied on the .dat file.

I can’t even say that I’m in theory against his openly stated goals of making the fediverse more approachable to normies. But this is not the way to implement it, and it’s not the way to react when called out about it.

Eh, besides a handful of specific subs that didn’t take good root here, I don’t miss it.

Yeah, seconding the other person. At least give them 11 LTSC. And instead of worrying about activation, just use MASgrave to activate it and they’re golden. It’s a real activation as far as MS is concerned.

I’d have to guess it’s something weird with how they’re using web fonts or something. Looks fine on my end.

It was fun for what it was, an overly serious and overly detailed “grimdark” setting based on an old TV show meant to sell toys, with a generous heaping of campiness on top. It’s entertaining garbage, and it mostly “knows its place” as such, besides one single attempt at a serious scene when the king of eternia dies.

It has a scene set to “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes, explicitly referencing the “magical secret powers” meme video of old. It has a short sequence with gym bro Skeletor and HR lady Skeletor. It’s a fun campy action comedy with surprisingly high budget and good effects.

I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn’t really matter, right?

Think of it this way: Should it have propagated as content at all?

I mean, people do be making faces like that, and have long before wojak. Only natural that they’ll be recreated in drawings.

As far as I know, blocks on Lemmy are one sided. As on, you don’t see stuff from who you blocked, but they can still see your stuff. I’ve definitely gotten comment replies from people I blocked ages ago, I just see it as blocked as long as I’m logged in.

As far as security goes, you’d only be as exposed as any Minecraft server is. That is to say, not much.

Plenty of non-MAGAts with respiratory issues having medical trouble from this.

Ugh, when the food places near my work started recognizing me. Yuck.

What? It’s not even his car, it was a review vehicle provided to him as a car reviewer (his job).

Lol no. Very no. Getting gut shot is a wonderful way to die slowly and in agony.

Of course it did. All of these AI companies scraped absolutely everything they could to make the biggest training corpuses they could. Quality, morality, legality be damned. The potential fines will never meaningfully dent the profits.

Maybe 1PB more of pirated content will finally get us to AGI ;p

Back to my home I dare not go.

A new Evangelion series was just announced directed by Yoko Taro. Can’t wait to see what additional batshit trauma he lumps on the characters this go around.

What’s that logo? Safe bet that it’s an entirely intentional attempt to go viral by getting people sharing it like you are, going “oh my god that looks like goatse”.

They can safely let it spread brand awareness and salience through posts like this, then never actually roll it out, or make some sort of “apology”, but the goal is already accomplished.

That’s one hell of a story, especially with the little I saw scrolling your profile. Anyway, just wanted to say that a bunch of folks have reverse engineered Lego Island into an open source codebase that they can get running on just about anything now.

You can play it in your web browser even, but it’s a little tough to control on a phone.
