asciiart is decades old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art

when this happened to me, I filled it around 2am the day before my follow up appointment but had no time to print it so I went there hoping I would be able to email it to them.

narrator: they didn't want to accept it by email

perfect demonstration of culture sharing for a newbie. Like advising them to always trust commands they find online without even explaining them what each command does!

I've said exactly the same thing. My mind just went automatically and said "foot-fingers" and it was the friend I was talking with that interrupts me saying "you mean toes!?" and couldn't stop laughing

You’re complaining about ads that are being pushed on you by an algorithm from ad companies. I’m telling you there are no ad companies. Seems relevant.

I never typed the word "ad". I specifically said post of top brands. How can this be achieved in ActivityPub? Easy. When you are using lets say Threads, their proprietary system treats differently ads and normal posts. However, anything their system is pushing on the federated network (ActivityPub) is disguised as a normal post. A post that is having millions of engagement will be visible in "All".

Nothing prevents them from doing that right now.

You act like you're new to internet. What prevents them is that their audience is not here and companies are not paying them for that. However companies will pay them to promote their products in Threads. With the current numbers, Threads has the potential to dominate the "All" page.

to be technically correct, they are not "distributing" it. They are doing the same thing shazam does for music.

that's irrelevant. Nothing prevents the influencers to promote their products as they do in all the popular platforms. You're thinking only in terms of ads as coming from an ad server but this is not necessarily the case.

yes, very misguided. I always loved the idea of browsing "All" and see all top brands with millions of engagement promoting their products

it is not "now". It is exactly as it was being used in 2020, when the article was written, by the mass media. They were calling "troll" everyone they were disagreeing with.

the trade between an encrypted storage and the ability of a full backup is a very bad deal. Unless you're talking for a phone that you leave at home at all times

does it work for encrypted phones?

yeah I mostly commented that because the fact that the game itself is so much smaller than the audio is impressive and funny at the same time

650MB CD media. The game itself was 40-50MB and the rest 500-600MB was the audio in wav (CD player compatible) type

lmao after seeing your name I can't believe it was you all the time

I agree on the first part. However this is from 2012 and in the meantime Linus himself realized and admitted that he was not proud of behaving like that and took real measures and seeked help in order to improve himself.

damn. I lost. Give me your bank details to send you your money.

Didn’t say python because oh sweet Jesus the slowdown alone would grind the global economy to a halt if we were running all our banking software on Python XD

ah so we just need to persuade banks to switch to python. Noted

this doesn't work. AI still needs to know what is CP in order to create CP for negative use. So you need to first feed it with CP. Recent example of how OpenAI was labelling "bad text"

The premise was simple: feed an AI with labeled examples of violence, hate speech, and sexual abuse, and that tool could learn to detect those forms of toxicity in the wild. That detector would be built into ChatGPT to check whether it was echoing the toxicity of its training data, and filter it out before it ever reached the user. It could also help scrub toxic text from the training datasets of future AI models.

To get those labels, OpenAI sent tens of thousands of snippets of text to an outsourcing firm in Kenya, beginning in November 2021. Much of that text appeared to have been pulled from the darkest recesses of the internet. Some of it described situations in graphic detail like child sexual abuse, bestiality, murder, suicide, torture, self harm, and incest.

revisit the comment thread as someone has now posted a photo

Are there any predators smart enough to strategize like this?

it is the predators that build such passages. Have you ever seen any construction company building them? Even in the first photo that is under construction, there is not any human worker in sight
