[CW: support of CSAM] Lemmy.ml moderator claims that editing images of children to be pornographic is not CSAM
  • Is he banning them for disagreeing, or for people calling him a pedo over an autistic semantics discussion?

    Mind you, I agree that when you hold controversial opinions about certain topics people are likely to discuss, you shouldn't be a mod. Then again, if you value your sanity and blood pressure, you shouldn't want to be a mod anyway - it's a thankless job.

    [CW: support of CSAM] Lemmy.ml moderator claims that editing images of children to be pornographic is not CSAM
  • Huh? The screenshot says they think generated pictures are not abusive. Not the it's not csam.

    That's a very dangerous way of twisting someone's words, especially on a subject this emotionally charged.

    Edit: adding to add that contrary to the title here, they are not talking about Editing pictures to be nudes, but generating them. Don't get me wrong, I have no interest in seeing either, and the day they're paying themselves is not doing them any favours. But someone is clearly out for character assassination here.

    Nevermind, it was about altering the photos of a 15 year old girl into nudes. And while it technically/physically may not be child abuse, for the victim it might as well be. That's indefensible - I'm out.

  • Inside Netflix’s bet on advanced video encoding
  • As someone who worked on a couple of video encoding / streaming services, this was an amazingly interesting read. Some personal highlights:

    • Custom encoding settings offer shows, per episode, and even per scene.
    • They created a short film specifically to cater to hard-to-encode scenes.
  • How TikTok Reads Your Mind (Published 2021)
  • At the risk of committing whataboutism - the same can be said about Facebook, Google, etc. And I don't say that to marginalise the problem. Quite the contrary - I honestly feel it should be illegal to gather this level of personal detail about people.

    That the focus right now is on tiktok is suspect, to say the least, but I guess the upside is that the problem is getting attention now.

  • Yeah, because that worked so well with tracking popups.

  • New York Times warns freelancers of GitHub repo data breach
  • As The Times told BleepingComputer last week, the attackers used exposed credentials to hack into the newspaper's GitHub repos.

    It explicitly says the credentials were leaked. If you're really going to insist the word "hack" implies something else, I'm afraid you're too far on the spectrum for me to continue this conversation. Cya!

  • What is PID 0?
  • For me it just gives an error post0 failed to load.

    Edit: that's probably my lemmy client trying to approach this blog as though it were a lemmy instance 🤦‍♂️

  • New York Times warns freelancers of GitHub repo data breach
  • Please point out where it states that Microsoft leaked it, rather than the more likely case of NYT leaking their credentials.

  • What is PID 0?
  • It's unused, you can go ahead and kill it.

  • New York Times warns freelancers of GitHub repo data breach
  • So... Unless Microsoft directly leaked those credentials, I don't see how it would be their responsibility.

  • Stop? No. But results so far have shown a decrease.

  • Sure thing, bud. So far all the studies disagree with you, though.

  • New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools
  • Beats me, I don't live in the US.

    I stand corrected. It doesn't include that as far as we know, on account of the bill not existing yet, not even in draft form. If you don't mind, I'm going to ignore everything else you say now.

  • New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools
  • How it's handled in countries such as Norway or The Netherlands is that those kinds of classes are exempt from the ban. It's not a hard issue to solve.
