It’s sad that we don’t teach the history of symbolism / society media consumption patterns. Multimedia presentation of Fox News is way more televangelism than a dusty old book named The Bible. We just let advertising and marketing media act upon the population and people behave as if there are no side-effects or conflicting influence systems. We could educate everyone on the world-wide patterns of this and the history, but we do not. We behave somehow as if the Middle East / Levant is a role model of people fighting it out over their favorite story patterns.

essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.

It is not even a mistake, it’s some pretty mind-fucked up on part of @[email protected] to jump to such a conclusion. crap

I think timestamps of files would be one of the easier things, and try to track back to postings and comments that references the upload… ideally the logged-in account (which is the standard install of lemmy, only logged-in users can upload to pictrs)

Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.

It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.

Yes, that is in fact the context.

Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "

it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool… Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.

Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision

Give me a break! Can people really not connect the dots of a very obvious time-line?

1. June 16, 2013, during the Miss USA 2013 pageant in Las Vegas, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Organization, and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo announced that the Miss Universe 2013 pageant will take place in Moscow, Russia on November 9, 2013.

2. June 18, 2013 - Trump on Twitter praising Putin as his best friend, BFF. evidence: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trumps-tweet-best-friend-939986/

3. 2013 is when the Saint Petersburg social media troll army was already online. Notable, the same Twitter that Trump is posting on June 18… evidence: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/maxseddon/documents-show-how-russias-troll-army-hit-america

4. November 9, 2013 - Trump is on Twitter saying he is in Moscow: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/399171340042661889

5. December 14, 2013 - Putin holds his annual “state of the union” address in Moscow and announces a new movement of global domination via “conservative values”. evidence: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/

6. February 20, 2014 - Putin orders Russia to invade Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation

.

Not even getting in the August 24, 2018 announcement by academics that Russia has seeded a pandemic response among the population with the troll army that went online in 2013 (#3 above).

And 2018, and February 22, 2022 … 2nd invasion of Ukraine response… https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/6/17656996/trump-republican-party-russia-rather-democrat-ohio

As far as I’m concerned, Russia is unstoppable. Nothing has reversed the trend that started over 10 years ago, and people think it is a domestic issue without understanding/learning one fact of how it played out… Oh my God, I’m so Happy!

I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is…

DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @[email protected] seems to think it “sounds like” I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images… NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.

and avoiding link rot

Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.

Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.

Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.

Installing an instance was done pretty quickly… over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.

Steve Jobs main claim was that visual design and walling people into marriage of software + hardware as a package was important. And based on the loyalty, profits, he seemed to have focused on the right thing.

As quick as Apple could, they went away from the kit Apple I into expensive unique-looking systems. The Lisa being US$9,995 (equivalent to well over $30,000 in 2023)… NeXT was pretty much the same high-end vision.

Bill Gates bailing out Apple so there could be two main companies like Pepsi and Coke, I really don’t get why people don’t criticize that. Microsoft was ahead in the Smartphone area long before the iPhone, if they had not bailed out Apple…

yha, what do people think the FBI is for… this isn’t crazy. They can get access to ISP logs, VPN provider logs, etc.

CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts

The federal governments of several nations should be in pursuit of this, and IP addresses and specific time logs shared.

Nothing like a little bit of corporate sabotage!

The software developers who created Lemmy openly criticize systems of government and economics. These are nation-state battlegrounds too. The barrier to entrance is very low, as Lemmy doesn’t even do routine tracking of account creation, rate-limiting alone isn’t really defensive. 15 years ago sites like Reddit had major vote manipulation detection logic behind the scenes. This is pretty much unleashed playground for a lot of known tactics.

The meme itself is a kind of evidence, regardless of the underlying truth of the claims. Popular actors and what’s used in commercials is often run through A/B testing to find out what people react the most to.

Trump as an icon very much was crafted just like this artists story;… he has crossed into the key spotlight point several times in his life. As much as almost anyone in human history. My concern isn’t just that people dream of icons like this, but that they can’t seem to tell when it is a nightmare and negative - and they are drawn to it. Which Trump isn’t a novelty meme or art project.

This isn’t shitpost material, this is reality of how the human mind works, and www.thisman.org that you linked is another example of the human brain works. This s the very meaning of ‘Demon-Haunted World’, where people compulsively flock and put their faith into someone without scrutinizing the actions the person or system is taking. People read a book and say they personally know Jesus… if you haven’t met such a person in your lifetime if you have lived in North America, I’d be surprised.

This isn’t shitpost material, this is the nightmare of reality that’s trending towards self-destruction. Since 2014 crowds have been flocking to icons and symbols of things that are objectively bad.

Ok, I’ve got it wrong, you said hundreds, this is a shitpost.

It’s quickly stomped out by groupthink.

that’s my observation too. Having lived in several parts of the world with very different religions and values… conformity is incredibly important to many people. The proven structure is to market some other group to hate.

But if you’re basically mentally healthy, the signs of cultdom seem so obvious to me that I have a hard time understanding why they don’t see them.

I spent a lot of effort facing the history of humanity was all over the globe people were cultist towards stories that had no basis in realty. They set food laws, clothing rules, marriage - all based on childhood stories they are raised on - much like the spoken/written language they were raised on.

I think people raised on Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Fox News - aren’t much different. It seems the human pattern is global and people who actually want to take a science thinking attitude of sincere facts and honest leaders.

it’s exclusive problem to lemmy.world’s DDOS prevention attempts as far as I know, so no idea.

He learned from the best… George Lucas did everything he could with Bill Moyers to open source the whole humanity meme pattern inspiration in Star Wars. He was trying to tie pre-film, pre-cinema, patterns to film. Passing down the meat and potatoes of society to each generation.

A lot of people complain about traffic and commutes, but the whole personalized media industry since the iPod has turned cars into personal alone time that they don’t get at home or office. I’ve met plenty of people who take more pride in their car and driving ability in traffic than they do with almost any positive achievement of humanity. The marketing of identity with their car and commuting lifestyle is extremely effective.
