I completely agree with everything you said.

I’ve never even heard of this key that you are talking about, yet it’s mentioned several times in this thread.

I gave my wife a keyboard with an any key on it (custom design I made from wasd) and it doesn’t work for anything that says “press any key”. Quite annoying honestly.

No one I know uses WhatsApp either (thank fuck). No one wants to download another app that now they have to juggle between different sets of people. I’m a software dev and even I hate all this nonsense of ten different messaging apps. On any given day I might use slack, discord, Zulip, Google messages, imessage, and matrix. Two is too many, this is just ridiculous. Absolutely no one in America wants to be using this many apps to communicate. Which is why most people just use the default.

Stop using the internet if you think all mods are bad. Moderators are on every site you use.

Did you mean to respond to Gigan?

dang.. I hate fingerprints. I have not modified anything of the sort on the instance, so I'm guessing it's something I have set in CloudFlare that is doing it? I'll look into it.

It isn’t. Just like 90% of the stuff posted here

You may not have meant it, but you strongly implied something of the sort. But since this is not what you’re suggesting I’m curious to hear what your optimal approach to those problem would be here.

Optimal approach is to use the existing systems that are used by massive corporations to solve this problem already. I know everyone on lemmy hates that, but this isn't something to mess around with. The reason this is optimal is because NCMEC provides the hashes only to these companies. You're not going to be able to get the hashes (this is a good thing... imagine some child abuser getting access to these hashes and then using them to evade detection). So if you can't get these hashes (and you shouldn't want them either) then you should use a service that has them. It is by far the best way to filter and has been proven time and time again to be successful.

The easiest is CloudFlare's, and yes, you will have to use them as your DNS which I also understand a vast majority of admins hate. But there are other options as well

• PhotoDNA
• Safer
• Facebook PDQ

Because access to the original hash databases is considered sensitive, NCMEC will not provide these to smaller platforms. Neither will Microsoft provide the source code of its PhotoDNA algorithm except to its most trusted partners, because if the algorithm became widely known, it is thought that this might enable abusers to bypass it.

In that article, it actually points out that a solution called Safer that uses machine learning and image recognition has very flawed results and is incredibly biased. So if these massive platforms can't get this kind of image recognition right then it's probably best to not waste money and time on it. The article even points out that for smaller platforms it's not worth it.

We also know in general terms that machine learning algorithms for image recognition tend to be both flawed overall, and biased against minorities specifically. In October 2020, it was reported that Facebook’s nudity-detection AI reported a picture of onions for takedown. It may be that for largest platforms, AI algorithms can assist human moderators to triage likely-infringing images. But they should never be relied upon without human review, and for smaller platforms they are likely to be more trouble than they are worth

This is removing moisture from the air, making it feel colder.

That’s not how humidity works. Higher humidity means that cooler temperatures feel much colder and warmer temperatures feel much warmer. Even the heat index calculation shows this. Just try it out for yourself, or look at the formula. https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_heatindex

People's AC units are not actually cooling anywhere near those temperatures. The unit is just on 100% of the time at those temperatures, and they could realistically increase the temperature a great deal and get the same results.

I don’t know why you think this. Maybe you only have a single stage AC or maybe you’ve never actually measured the temp with an extra thermometer, but you can get the ac 40-50°F cooler than outside, both by removing humidity (which decreases the “feels like” temp) but also through actually heat removal from the house. You might just have bad insulation as well.

If you live in a dry climate you can do the opposite. Pump humidity in using a swamp cooler, which places moisture in the air and then immediately causes it to evaporate carrying heat with it in the state change. You’re cooling the air slightly and since moisture exaggerates temperature changes it feels cooler to you.

@ruffsl@programming.dev yes, @Die4Ever@programming.dev is correct, we were having tons of retries bogging down the server due to attempts to connect to the https://midwest.social domain. I think it should be fixed in the 0.18.1 update, which I hope to roll out in a few hours.

even with the above I couldn't ever find a video of length 24:45. the youtube timers are all a second or two off. I wasn't gonna upload one, so my final solution was (youtube url was incorrect)
