I wouldn't need to be wholly convinced that there's anything heinous going on over there, just that the person accusing them of it had good reason to think so. So pretty much anything more than no info at all would probably have done the trick. Anyway, thanks for putting up with me for a little while and good luck to everyone at lemmy.ml, but I'm outta here. I'll probably go try kbin or something.

It was added to the "exclude" list in an apparently unrelated commit three days ago with absolutely no explanation. Glancing at its front page I see nothing objectionable, just a lot of anime stuff. When challenged u/dessalines had nothing to say other than "no, that is full of CSAM" and just closed the discussion without further comment.

Unless some more info comes to light it does not look good. Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.

I used it once, as a last resort when I wanted to try some program that had a ridiculous set of build dependencies that was just too much. It was okay, I guess.

This is the best summary I could come up with: It's "members of Congress, conservative activists and wealthy tech investors."

If everyone on the fediverse goes to google.com right now and searches for "best new iphone car insurance shopping aarp member bad credit" maybe we can save the economy.

Who are all these extremist wackos who don't already want to abolish capitalism?

If you really want it right now, many guides for how to compile linux kernels are available. Here's one.

You might think that things have changed over the years, but I was around in 1995 and I can assure you this looked exactly as ridiculous then as it does now.

AI that is used to monitor cameras and identify our faces to track everywhere everyone goes: Why would that concern you? Do you have something to hide, citizen?

AI that might be used to generate agitprop, competing with conventional advertising: HOLY SHIT we need a new international treaty right away!

I have two reactions: 1. The headline is rather silly. 2. There's no way this little script, although it might conceivably be useful to someone, needs to be a youtube video.

 

Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.

 

California's attempt to force "age verification" on us all is having legal problems.

"Based on the materials before the Court, the CAADCA’s age estimation provision appears not only unlikely to materially alleviate the harm of insufficient data and privacy protections for children, but actually likely to exacerbate the problem by inducing covered businesses to require consumers, including children, to divulge additional personal information."
