I’ve never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media.

yes, including social media. People think adopting Donald Trump methods of dehumanizing those you disagree with, Donald Trump Twitter-think and Tweet-length mental attitudes is actually addressing the problem… in reality, it is joining in with the bonfires of goodness. Instead of a “we are under siege mentality” of posting a thread to the top of every social media platform every 6 hours since 2015 when it was clear Donald Trump and Putin wanted to fulfill their “Conservative International 2013” politician aims, people have just mocked and gone along with the total mockery media values of MAGA / Donald Trump Twitter-tweeting thinking.

I’ve never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media.

People are entirely unable to defend and resist absurd comedy, surreal humor, surreal absurd "jokes’, they all end up joining in / jumping on the bandwagon with the mocking and mockery.

Neil Postman was correct in 1985: “When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

Happens here on Lemmy too. Seems like that’s how the Internet of today works

That’s why I’m pointing it out: twitter behavior has taken over the White House and all social media platforms.

that’s the point, it isn’t just Reddit users who mimic Donald Trump.

This is all spelled out in 2014: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/31/bbcs_adam_curtis_on_the_contradictory_vaudeville_of_post-modern_politics.html

They are all mimicking Surkov governing, Russia.

And now, our education system is simply a hint of a shadow of its former self.

The issue is not under age 18 children in schools. The issue is 78 year old adults and age 71 RFK Jr, etc.

Fox News is the true teacher of society, not school classrooms. That’s Neil Postman’s point. Elon Musk X is the true place people learn in USA. Not from classrooms, that shit all gets replaced with more entertaining content.

Poorly educated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpdt7omPoa0

SpaceX / Starlink does work for the USA Pentagon. he isn’t against war.

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.
