It'd be a very useful affordance for me, given that I find the LLM fist to be, literally, nauseating.

I need a browser extension that will automatically parse for pages with dates prior to....idk, call it 2022.

@bouriquet

Here's a hint: inflicting PTSD on people does not result in them -caring- and typically results in -avoidant- behavior.

@VictimOfSimony

This is a warning that there is disturbing shit being posted and to advise people to protect themselves accordingly; I truly do not give one tenth of one shit about the motivations of those posting it.

@foone

honestly it doesn't even have to be "the really bad shit" to cause it to stick with you in a traumatic fashion.

there's a reason why I keep images off whenever feasable.

and for fuck's sake don't fucking post that shit what the fuck is wrong with you assholes.

In infosec, you frequently run across shit that you cannot unsee.

You do not need to witness the specific harms here; you already know what's going to be in there; it does the victims no good for you to traumatize yourself specifically watching them get harmed.

So evidently some large number of the 'blank' PDF documents in the epstein dump have, according to numerous reports, turned out to be MP4s renamed to .pdf

People are posting these videos on various social media sites.

You may wish to turn off video autoplay - or visibility - whenever possible, because my fucking gods do I not want to see a couple of fucking pedophiles interacting with an underage person and I imagine many of you are similarly disinclined.

@DaveMWilburn

You're using an awful lot of "us" and "our" in a reply to a person to whom those usses and ours do not apply.

Yes, you agree, sure. But work out your ruminations about how -you- are "lazy" and "ill-equipped at confronting creeping authoritarianism" someplace other than in my mentions, because I don't hold with that kind of self-judgemental flagellation.

@DaveMWilburn

my dude I have a trans flag in my displayname. Consider your reply to me in that light.

Reminding y'all that:

Discord is not documentation.

ID laws disproportionately harm minorities.

Leaking current ID details constitutes harm.

Data is radioactive.

Complying proactively with fascism is perpetration of harm.

"Legal" and "right" are two very different qualities.

@cstross

the rocket motor's burned out and the vehicle is coasting; we'll have to wait a bit before we see how hard it comes down I expect.

seriously this "tie an llm to a public interface and let it do things for you on your computer with your credentials" trend has me literally, in real life, with my actual-ass voice, screaming.

especially since the dipshit who perpetrated this fucking mess says he never bothered reading the code itself

and the fucking thing's over half a million lines

just

completely unauditable and completely a fucking ddos against any ability to comprehend the workflow whatsoever.

@xgranade @hacks4pancakes

the cryptocurrency community is in utter shambles over this too, evidently

@hacks4pancakes

is there a list collated yet? I really don't want to have to search thru manually.

@jerry

I don't see why I should bother paying them when they have not rendered services appropriately.

@alice

one of the fascinating effects of transition for me has been how much more sensitive my nose has become in general.

'boysmell' - testosterone-associated body chemistry bacterial load, vs. estrogen-associated body chemistry bacterial load for the pedants lol - is very sharp and distinctive; girlsmell is categorically different.

also it was hilarious when my smell shifted polarity; the cats noticed first and they were looking at me really weird for, like, a week before I figured out what was happening lol

@0xabad1dea

if they make you install a whole-ass other application to do troubleshooting, then it best be parsing logs for you to identify precisely where the issue is.

this is where I would go into a rant about having safe defaults and guiding user experience if I were more caffeinated.

@corbden

I am fully aware of the block vs. mute functionality, and I have blocked them not just for my own convenience reading, but to raise a significant barrier to harassment and protect the people with whom I speak also.

In fact, I subscribe to eva.computer's blocklist for all federal accounts (other than NOAA, NWS, CPSC, and the Federal Reserve) along with thousands of other people, which handled it automatically.

Blocking protects your friends, not just your eyes.

@thordis @alice

depends on who's slicing whether I'm millennial or X; I don't really feel a part of either clade tbh.
