tbh, i’m not sure you’re correct. most other franchises are either more devicive or do not have the same cross generational appeal.

Star wars is highly devicive

Stargate was widely loved but currently only exists for a single generation

BSG was great but didnt achieve the same culture permiation that star trek did

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

links with friends is on my list of stuff to play in the background while working

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

the number of russian tanks getting blown up seems to have dropped back down. have they run out yet?

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i read a reddit post years ago where a someone wrote a script that iterates through all the projects in their dev folder, for each project creating a new branch, committing and pushing.

they then aliased it to “fire” or “panic” or something like that.

not a bad idea really

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

if its aliased you should be able to just run “fire” and it does the rest

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i heard someone talking about “Bidenflation” today

Couldnt have sounded dumber if he tried

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

extra funny when you realise a most of the ground work for the shit state the economy is in was laid under trump

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

was my first thought too. it looks quite AI generated

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

Windows Subsystem for Linux

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

you could use WSL in Wine in WSL.

go full circle

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

not with that attitude

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i named my cum sock after my secondary school english teacher

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

man, what a fucking tease that was

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

it would be alright if it were two part time jobs that added up to full time work but i bet it’s not.

at least then if you get fired from one for no reason you still have half your income stream

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

depends on the job, there’s plenty of roles you can do only in the morning or only in the afternoon, or only in the first half of the week/last half

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

one could argue that you are being paid in free content

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

I can code a feature faster than i can debug ChatGPTs attempt. so long as it’s in JS

ChatGPT is better at bash than me though

TIL that the judge in the Carroll rape case clarified that Trump did rape Jean Carroll (www.washingtonpost.com)

All the news headlines and verdict said sexual abuse, which was kind of vague, but I just found out today that the judge clarified that this was a matter of legal definition and by the verdict of the trial and the case, trump has been found guilty of penetrative rape.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, (edited )

Found guilty

Technically not, and this is an important distinction because the level of evidence required for a civil case is less than that of a criminal case.

He has been found civilly liable for something legally distinct from rape

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

nope, it’s Donald “civally liable for acts equivalent to, but legally distinct from, rape” John “grab 'em by the pussy” Trump

Twitter's lost 13% of its daily users and its rebrand has failed (www.bigtechnology.com)

The new data — comprehensive and definitive — should put to rest the countervailing narratives over Musk’s management of the app. Under his stewardship, X’s daily user base has declined from an estimated 140 million users to 121 million, with a widening gap between people who check the app daily vs. monthly. X’s...

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i actually thought i would go take a look at threads. when i tried to log in on my PC it told me i had to download the app on my phone before it would let me log in with the account they already apparently created for me.

so i left and havent been back

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i never thought i would say this, but at this point bing seems to be a better search engine than google

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

you can watch videos without paying the fee. i havent actually encountered any premium features i dont have access to yet

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

By the time i got out of customer service i was getting a lot of complaints about how little it sounded i cared. (I didn’t)

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

“Cowards” lol

They literally just ban you if you start to pick apart their bullshit opinions.

Proudly banned from !GenZedong

i gave up on jerboa in the earlier days and moved to Connect. havent felt the need to move on from that since then.

Jerboa may have improved since i used it though so don’t that this as me slating it. Jerboa is developed by the same dev that writes the main lemmy backend and webapp so obvs he needs to prioritise that

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

spoilers!

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

Very fallout4

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

wow

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

“That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, which made me cry even more.” So a state institution imposing religious virtues on a student? How is that constitutional, something for the ACLU perhaps?

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

good to see. i was in mauritius a few weeks ago and didnt know it was criminal to be gay.

it was evident to me that it’s a very conservative country though, some of the mauritians i know are quite homophobic. it would have been better for the abolition of this law to come from parliament. i hope this doesnt trigger reactionary moves to recriminalise.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

tax gets complicated

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

Depends where you are. There are tax implications for this too. look at IR35 in the UK

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

“premeditated murder” is a bit of a stretch

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

the so called DPR and LPR authorities have been conscripting from ukraine for the entire war.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

oh shit. this is how the clone wars start

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

reddit copypasta

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

invented the computer and provided significant contributions to ending WWII in the allied nations favour

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

cant get much else craft beer wise where i live.

i like a porter ale but theres only like one shop that does one.

Stouts are nice but guinness is overplayed. Brewdog have released a stout that seems to be doing well though, but i like variety

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, (edited )

for anyone wondering the pre-ordering “bonus” is early access to a car

so might as well wait for it to be released

also, it’s £24.99 on steam atm

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

My dads Merc says “please” when it’s giving you directions.

winds me up to no end.

i want the instructions to be as low bandwidth as possible.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

Tesco have done this in the UK for all their “special” offers.

and like a cucked little beta boy i got the clubcard

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

nice gams

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

they really should clean the lens

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. give me a spec and i’ll (try to) write you a tool.

i’m a competent coder, but i have no idea kind of what mod tools are needed.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

it’s a start. i’m on holiday at the mo. i’ll have a look when i get back

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

these could be a little more difficult. they seem to be instance level features.

i might be able to do a tool for the first one using filters if there is a way to insert keywords into a report e.g. “To Mods” or “To Admins”

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

I can think of some things i could implement on the lemmy server side that could help with this, i’m pretty sure that the IWF maintains a list of file hashes for CSAM and there are probably a few other hash sources you could draw from too.

so the process would be something like the following

  • create a local db for and periodically (like once a day) update CSAM hash list
  • I would be very surprised if hashes for uploads are not already created, compare this hash with list of known harmful material
  • if match found, reject upload and automatically permaban user, then if feasible automatically report as much information as possible about user to law enforcement

so for known CSAM you don’t have to subject mods or user to it before it gets pulled.

for new/edited media with unrecognised hashes that does contain CSAM then a mod/admin would have to review and flag it at which point the same permaban for the user, then law enforcement report could be triggered automatically.

The federation aspect could be trickier though. which is why this would probably be better to be an embedded lemmy feature rather than a third party add on.

I’m guessing it would be possible to create an automoderator that does all this on the community level and only approves the post to go live once it has passed checks.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

or he just didnt bother asking anyone before he started
