It blocks access to the link on your site. For example, on programming.dev people have uploaded CSAM. The links are immediately blocked (e.g. no one can get to them except an instance owner actually looking in the pictrs database) and then in the CF dashboard you get a notification with the link to the webpage it occurred on.

CSAM blocking works based on a known agreed upon, shared hash list which is created by a consortium of large tech giants. If novel CSAM is uploaded to your instance, then yes, it will fail to catch that. db0’s plugin might catch it though. LLM blocking doesn’t have the benefit of a bunch of multi billion dollar companies trying to stop it, in fact they’re doing the exact opposite, so yes LLM blocking sucks.

For your edit, I would expect you to have an email set up that you would get the notice from. You are not responsible for this kind of stuff until you have been notified, pretty much globally, so pay attention to your email.

You can set up Cloudflare as your CDN and turn on CSAM detection. It will automatically block links to known CSAM from the managed global CSAM hash lists.

If you want something in addition to that, you can use db0’s plugin that adds in a similar capability.

Really weird reading an article that interviews someone you’ve worked for (who is a billionaire themselves).

I work for a solar company and they said that we would have to start using solar powered two factor authentication key fobs.

14 year olds aren’t allowed to take ubers by themselves in the first place. not sure how many 14 yo have banks in the UK, but in the US it’s vanishingly small.

as an instance admin I will let you know that lemmy (the software) runs very very poorly.

then why is every linux advocate stating that all that matters is picking your distro? If the system needs to have the OS preinstalled then the distro doesn’t matter at all. Yet that still really isn’t the problem. Installing an OS from a flash drive (distros are just as easy to install as windows is and people have been installing windows fine from hard media for decades) is a different realm of troubleshooting than driver issues. Either linux is ready for people to start installing any distro on their gaming rig to migrate off of Windows or it’s not. And it clearly isn’t.

yes, yes it could. You went into no detail at all, so it’s literally up to the reader’s imagination. photo touch up could mean literally filling in freckles, well use the eyedropper tool and draw over them. Color science could mean checking the color profile of your monitor, the colors in paint are HSL. Retro pixel art is literally just drawing, you just don’t get the help of pixel by pixel drawing, you’ll have to manage that yourself. Your response indicated nothing about how you use GIMP, and honestly, I doubt you have used any really in depth features that Photoshop provides.

sure, but then you’re alienating an entire userbase that can install an OS (which is just a flash drive and hitting a few keys during startup), but absolutely does not have the willpower to sit and figure out configuration on their new OS that absolutely does not work out of the box. Shit, I have enough to deal with in my daily life, I don’t want to be debugging driver issues. I haven’t had driver issues in windows or mac for over a decade, yet it’s the very first thing you encounter on a new distro install.

i read the dang wiki and got everything running smoothly in an afternoon

that means it’s not ready…

also they didn’t mention anything that couldn’t be done in MS Paint lol. something Gimp still doesn’t have - Content Aware Delete which was added in 2010…literally 15 years ago.

anyone that wants to use their computer for basic things like netflix or watching any content at all will notice the difference. They won’t be able to tell you it’s HDR, but they will think “why does this look worse than it did on windows”?

they’re very correct. Last month I tried out Zorin (which was recommended by one of the linux communities here) and sound didn’t even work properly. I plan on writing up a full doc for the linux community on the problems a staff software engineer had with a basic no-frills install (I’m trying to find a distro for my wife), but Linux is absolutely not ready for the general populace.

that is most definitely not the process. You have to explicitly go into Steam’s settings > Compatibility > “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” (what in the world, it’s called Steam Play, not Proton?) and then additionally select which Proton version you want. If you don’t know this, or don’t google it with the right keywords, you won’t understand why literally 90% of your library isn’t available (in my case it was 99% of my library, I think I only had 3 games available on linux natively). Also if you select the wrong Proton version some games won’t run, so you have to know that and switch it for those games only.

android studio is built on intellij, and as a result can do the exact same things intellij does, which includes the .http files (which I think are the same as .rest files). So you can get the exact same features in android studio as you do in vscode. I think.

Just so you know, companies already use drones for roof surveys. I work for sunrun and we use them to analyze roofs for solar installations and whether roofs need to be fixed before hand.
