It's good to be at the weekend after a busy week, but it was a good week.
The only bad moment (first world problem) this week was a meeting about "Social Responsibility". I discovered the ISO 26000:2010 standard.
I'm sorry to inform you that our best hope to save the world and make it a better place, is to fill spreadsheets, follow guidance documents, and have indicators.
I already saw you complaining about the CPAP. It was a life changer for me (high blood pressure condition), but the tech guy who installed my CPAP warned me it could take some time and adjustments. He also told me that some people never get used to sleeping with this thing.
I hope it will work for you.
Thank you so much for all these explanations! I didn't know the communities/users were so important in the system.
I thought that a duplicate of each post on a instance was automatically sent to all federated instances, and I wondered how the servers didn't get overloaded by the global activity.
First of all, I'm so sorry that you have been exposed to such horrors. I hope you can handle that, or find help to.
I don't have a solution, I'd just like to share some thoughts.
Some people suggested that AIs could detect this kind of content. I would be reluctant to use such tools, because lots of AI projects exploit unprotected workers in poor countries for data labeling.
correct me if I'm wrong, but on the fediverse, when a picture is posted on an instance, it is duplicated on all federated instances?
If I'm right, it means that even if beehaw found a way to totally avoid CSAM posting, you could still end up with duplicated CSAM on your server? (with consequences on your mental health, and possibly legal risks for owning such pictures)
Same bug here with Connect (I didn't try Jerboa). After a while, I get the error "An error occured when retrieving from beehaw.org. Details: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'bool' in type cast.".
Edit: I've just installed Sync for the first time (thus the app has no old data on my phone) and it works.
Picross games are the Nintendo version of the pen-and-paper puzzles called nonograms. I'm pretty sure you can find this kind of puzzles on steam or websites.
There is no universal "line". Every family has its own implicit rules about clothing and nudity, which vary from situation to situation.
If she doesn't question the rules acquired on her mother's side (your SO doesn't seem to be worried by her clothes), it's because she sees you as an adult in the family, i.e. someone she trusts and who won't sexualize her.
If you feel uncomfortable, I think you should work on that on your side. I think these days, it must be precious for a young adult to have a safe place, where she can dress without being judged or sexualized. You shouldn't risk taking that away from her.
Fez: a 2D plateformer in which you can change the perspective to create ways to unreachable plateforms
Baba Is You: a puzzle game in which you move blocks with words written on them, combining them to create small phrases which become new rules of the game.
I don't try to shift the narrative, I use the same method than Simone De Beauvoir in The Second Sex to highlight a discrimination.
Generating the picture of a black person is not racist (the AI could have bias, but that's an other subject). But generating pictures of persons in different skin tons on a website called apartheid.ai and making people vote "white or black", that would be racist.
The problem here is not generating picture of women, but how these pictures are used.
I live in France, and the term "camarade" is daily used in my union instead of the first name, or when you talk about several members of the union. It has no negative connotation, it's not used as a reversal of stigma.
It's also used in several left parties, but not all. It's quite common between people who primarily fight for the workers rights, but it's much less common between other progressive/leftist activists (feminists, climate activists, LGBTQIA+ rights activists..).
For me, it makes sense to use it this way, according to the context.

We're so screwed.
