Yeah, the original Super Tic Tac Toe is like that, but I decided to change it a bit because it seemed more intuitive when playing.
There can also be two game modes to choose from before playing that includes the original, I'm not planning on that right now but I'd be very glad with a PR for it if someone makes that effort
I had some major updates, it has an AI mode now so it's much more enjoyable for someone to play alone
You mean like Tic Tac Toe within a bigger Tic Tac Toe? That was the original idea by VSauce, but I changed it to # of games won because it felt more intuitive when playing
Yeah I thought so, I hoped the quotations would make it less so.
I still think it's a catchy description though so I'm not changing it yet
Not meaning to be racist, but
Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist
The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn't get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
Bouzouki, because I'll be pretty ashamed of my purchase if I don't
Many people have clarity over what's going on, the hard part is dodging and outsmarting human trash like Piers while still making use of their platform to spread the truth and counteract their propaganda.
That's the really hard part and the reason why I respect him immensely for this.
Maybe public opinion will change now that there's white victims of the genocide too
You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying
@sunaurus@lemm.ee I'm crossposting this here just to make sure that you get to see it.

In the past months, there's a been a issue in various instances where accounts would start uploading blatant CSAM to popular communities. First of all this traumatizes anyone who gets to see it before the admins get to it, including the admins who have to review to take it down. Second of all, even if the content is a link to an external site, lemmy sill caches the thumbnail and stores it in the local pict-rs, causing headaches for the admins who have to somehow clear that out. Finally, both image posts and problematic thumbnails are federated to other lemmy instances, and then likewise stored in their pict-rs, causing such content to be stored in their image storage.
This has caused multiple instances to take radical measures, from defederating liberaly, to stopping image uploads to even shutting down.
Today I'm happy to announce that I've spend multiple days developing a tool you can plug into your instance to stop this at the source: pictrs-safety
Using a new feature from pictr-rs 0.4.3 we can now cause pictrs to call an arbitary endpoint to validate the content of an image before uploading it. pictrs-safety builds that endpoint which uses an asynchronous approach to validate such images.
I had already developed fedi-safety which could be used to regularly go through your image storage and delete all potential CSAM. I have now extended fedi-safety to plug into pict-rs safety and scan images sent by pict-rs.
The end effect is that any images uploaded or federated into your instance will be scanned in advance and if fedi-safety thinks they're potential CSAM, they will not be uploaded to your image storage at all!
This covers three important vectors for abuse:
- Malicious users cannot upload CSAM to for trolling communities. Even novel GenerativeAI CSAM.
- Users cannot upload CSAM images and never submit a post or comment (making them invisible to admins). The images will be automatically rejected during upload
- Deferated images and thumbnails of CSAM will be rejected by your pict-rs.
Now, that said, this tool is AI-driven and thus, not perfect. There will be false positives, especially around lewd images and images which contain children or child-topics (even if not lewd). This is the bargain we have to take to prevent the bigger problem above.
By my napkin calculations, false positive rates are below 1%, but certainly someone's innocent meme will eventually be affected. If this happen, I request to just move on as currently we don't have a way to whitelist specific images. Don't try to resize or modify the images to pass the filter. It won't help you.
For lemmy admins:
- pictrs-safety contains a docker-compose sample you can add to your lemmy's docker-compose. You will need to your put the .env in the same folder, or adjust the provided variables. (All kudos to @Penguincoder@beehaw.org for the docker support).
- You need to adjust your pict-rs ENVIRONMENT as well. Check the readme.
- fedi-safety must run on a system with GPU. The reason for this is that lemmy provides just a 10-seconds grace period for each upload before it times out the upload regardless of the results. A CPU scan will not be fast enough. However my architecture allows the fedi-safety to run on a different place than pictrs-safety. I am currently running it from my desktop. In fact, if you have a lot of images to scan, you can connect multiple scanning workers to pictrs-safety!
- For those who don't have access to a GPU, I am working on a NSFW-scanner which will use the AI-Horde directly instead and won't require using fedi-safety at all. Stay tuned.
For other fediverse software admins
fedi-safety can already be used to scan your image storage for CSAM, so you can also protect yourself and your users, even on mastodon or firefish or whatever.
I will try to provide real-time scanning in the future for each software as well and PRs are welcome.
Divisions by zero
This tool is already active now on divisions by zero. It's usage should be transparent to you, but do let me know if you notice anything wrong.
Support
If you appreciate the priority work that I've put in this tool, please consider supporting this and future development work on liberapay:
All my work is and will always be FOSS and available for all who need it most.

That's the reason why UBI and raising the minimum wage isn't a permanent solution for the working class though. They are good and provide some relief certainly, but in the end the corporations will exploit even harder, raise prices causing inflation that makes the raises unimportant, and use all that as a debate point to show that giving back to the workers leads to price raises.
Workers should still fight for raises, benefits and better contracts, but the end goal should be ending the system that gives the owners of capital all the power in the world.
