If that’s what he’s doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.

Oh god oh fuck not again

poplargrove ,

Doesn’t necessarily have to do with conservatism. Not everyone wants to be randomly flashed without consent.

poplargrove ,

Yes a fair comparison.

poplargrove ,

The article mentions there are aleady a few issues, some quite old. The article is useful for raising awareness and hopefully getting the fix prioratized higher.

poplargrove ,

Here’s a related, interesting example for BlueSky, on generating disguised links and preview cards (with content the url doesn’t actually contain) for anyone curious: github.com/qwell/bsky-exploits

They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.

poplargrove ,

If posts were signed, it wont matter what instance youre posting from since your identity would be tied to your public key and not the account on a Mastodon/lemmy/etc server.

Thats more decentralized. It helps when you get banned, a server shuts down etc.

The website is run by two Youtubers, not journalists. See their about us.

You can see this in their rigour, quoting OpIndia, a hindu-nationalist source known for misinformation and Islamophobia (its wikipedia entry) and reduxx.info, an anti-trans news source.

Recommended articles towards the end of the article also make it clear this is just right-wing ragebait website: African Rapist Allowed To Remain In The UK After Arguing That Deportation Would Harm His Mental Health and Sheetz Convenience Stores Accused Of Discriminating Against Minority Job Seekers By Refusing To Consider Applicants With Criminal Record

The person was not convicted because the laws on child protection and internet crime that exist do not cover posessing CP while not producing it. If a law has holes, it can be ammended, it doesnt mean the hole was intentionally written to enable this crime.

Deciding to call an entire country a backwater because of the mistake some lawmakers made is just silly. Also the Supreme court thats handling the appeal in said backwater:

“How can a single judge say like this? This is atrocious,” source

poplargrove ,

Thanks, thats a proper newspaper.

I wasn’t suggesting the ruling wasn’t made btw, just that the source can’t be trusted to give an accurate account of it. Also we shoudln’t send traffic to websites that e.g troll about diversity.

I’d be surprised if conservative India with its many poor regions didn’t have a bad rate of rape, but why think India is particularly bad, enough to call it a backwater? Need some sources on that.

And that user using absolute numbers instead of the rate of rape really gives away them being clueless about this.

poplargrove , (edited )

The country that passed a new law on child protection to cover holes like the penal code not covering male child sexual abuse, is trying to keep the holes open?

The same one that overturned a case where a hole in the child protection law allowed abusing minors so long as there was no skin-to-skin contact. And instead now the law is interpreted to cover that case? Source

poplargrove ,

That wasn’t cherry-picking, it was to show how there have been holes in the child protection law and they have been fixed. There isn’t some evil attempt at keeping these issues open.

Also if law is all there is to preventing rape, why does India have a lower recorded rate of rape than many developed european countries and the united states? Because there is a lot more to it, like social factors. E.g would you report a rape if it would bring shame and no longer being a virgin would make it difficult to get married?

See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics under “by country” then sort by decreasing order the tab for “Rate per 100,000 population”.

poplargrove ,

You replied to my comment on this case of CP so I thought you were referring to the child protection law. I made a snarky reply because it looked like you were obviously wrong, sorry about that.

poplargrove ,

If you look at the other replies, you’ll see people politely explaining. You didnt have to make these rude replies.

Deepfakes are being used to personalize political messages in India, here’s a fun article on it which also points out an instance all the way back from 2020: aljazeera.com/…/deepfake-democracy-behind-the-ai-…

It also mentions using deepfakes to target constituencies speaking different languages, to defame opposing parties, and even creating deepfakes to cast doubt on legitimate videos:

Ahead of the state election in November, the caller requested that Jadoun alter a problematic but authentic video of their candidate – ​​whose party he did not disclose – to make a realistic deepfake. The aim: to claim that the original was a deepfake, and the deepfake the original.

poplargrove ,

I’ve a few times shared personal information to people I am friendly with in public chats, accidentally or while not putting much thought into it. I imagine there are others like me who wouldn’t want to be doxxed.

poplargrove ,

Looks just like mine! I find it adorable when he chants the 15 muted praises for the bound ones. His little eyes rolled back, mouth drooling ☺☺☺

poplargrove ,

Being able to put out lots of works isn’t the same as being able to come up with good, meaningful art?

poplargrove ,

What does it even mean to bruteforce creating art? Trying all the possible prompts to some image model?

The approach people take to learning or applying a skill like painting is not bruteforcing, there is actual structure and method to it.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X.

I can’t imagine how bad things must be for amateurish mistakes like that to have gotten through to the actual app.

It does smell a little funny but the taste and texture makes up for it. Especially as part of this desert (durian pulut) that comes with sticky rice and a kind of syrup.

poplargrove OP , (edited )

I really didnt put all that thought into it when I posted this (certainly wasn’t looking to evangelize Rust). It was mildly amusing (memory safety came to mind) and I needed a title somewhat related to the meme was really all there was to it.

When it comes to the U.S (it doesn’t seem to mention employment rate) Mathematics was 11th place in the highest paying majors 5 years in according to an NY Federal reserve study last month: cnbc.com/…/highest-paying-college-majors-5-years-…

poplargrove ,

Backyard to die for.

poplargrove ,

When with Turks don’t forget to refer to baklava as your favorite greek desert.

poplargrove ,

War crimes in a civil war and immigration issues involving Russian tourists. They seem a tad bit unrelated :P

poplargrove ,

The link to an article from 1999 refers to an entirely different case where a woman was executed during the previous rule of Afganistan by the Taliban. It isnt being used as evidence for this event.

I’m not sure why you dismiss the Independent but here’s the AP reporting the same: apnews.com/…/afghanistan-taliban-public-execution…

Why not a worker’s cooperative? Plusses include no executives earning insane salaries or stockholders to please.

In the case of Google, the effect on advertising bringing in “slightly less money” is an understatement :)

poplargrove ,

You defend cookies in general. But the person youre replying to might have meant third-party cookies by “invasive cookies” ?

poplargrove ,

Would be nice if you could mark this nsfw, it’s pretty disgusting.

Erik Prince appeared on Breitbart Radio to allege that Hillary and Bill Clinton laundered money and frequented a “sex island” that was home to “underage sex slaves.”

Huh

poplargrove ,

Theistic evolution believers: why not both

Looks like a marble countertop

I keep tabs open as a sort of “read page later” list. I never seem to get to reading them though.

poplargrove ,

The water from the ice will find its way to the oceon whether it melts in Greenland or the UAE though?

poplargrove ,

I dont see any reason why you cant raise some livestock as pets. People already keep pigs as pets.

poplargrove ,

I meant that there is nothing inherent to dogs that makes them pets and not for eating, while livestock are for eating. They are both just animals, people should be consistent in either having empathy for all such animals or not at all.

poplargrove ,

Hm? I became one upon opening the comments section.

poplargrove ,

So if we arent open to understanding something as important to being human as gender, why not toss out all other fields that also study human social lives. Bye to anthropology, sociology, etc.

poplargrove ,

Theyre all the same, just different angles
