Excalidraw is nice. Also, I want to throw in a mention for mermaid.live (mermaid js). A little less flexiblity but it’s nice. There’s also kroki.io which hosts a lot of these types of apps.

Chargeback!

Tech is hard, leaders aren’t always technical. AI is great at bullshitting, and it’s swooned many CEOs into thinking it will 10x (make them 10x more efficient than they previously were) existing employees / replace the need for programmers. Lots of leaders just look to what other leaders at companies are doing - some see what elon does at twitter as proof that downsizing drastically won’t kill your company.

Programming is like editing a book with many chapters. New developers need time to learn the story line of the book before they can begin editing anything. If the book has been around and edited continuously for over a decade, it’s going to take some time for those developers to understand the book well enough to start making meaningful contributions. Lots of these tech companies have multiple books each with many chapters, and one thing leadership either doesn’t realize or doesn’t seem to factor into the equation is that maintaining these books and all their story arcs and character development gets harder and harder over time. Truly in the tech industry, it’s more expensive to train a new hire than it is to promote an existing hire.

But again, leaders are listening to folks like elon musk…

That sounds triggered.

So you’re saying I need a commerical display to display less commercials?

Yes! got any recommendations because people are searching for dumb tvs and can’t seem to find them anywhere.

That’s the great thing about AI, it’s like a human! Humans don’t need to work anymore because our computers speak like us now! It’s only ever really a problem if someone reads what AI wrote.

But if you don’t read it, wow, just look at the spacing, the typography, the paragraphs! the tokens words!

Linux has gotten a lot better with playing windows games. My issue is that I have one peice of software I want to use: Serato DJ Pro - and due to how that software works with hardware and real-time audio, I haven’t ever been able to get it to run on Linux. Mixxx is a thing, but it doesn’t have the features I use in Serato.

Would really love to drop windows for the one software I need it for.

For the games which run. For everything else, Windows is 100% faster than 0%.

Dildo fuckin’ up the feed.

Edge corners the market!

name.com usually because I’m too dumb to remember any other domain name.

Acceptable isn’t a percentage, but I see in your opinion that it’s acceptable. Thanks for making your content open source. I do wish your project the best of luck. I don’t think I have what it takes to validate this myself but if I end up hosting an instance I’ll probably start using this tool more often myself. It’s better than nothing at at present I have zero instances but also zero mods lined up.

Just going to argue on behalf of the other users who know apparently way more than you and I do about this stuff:

WhY nOt juSt UsE thE FBi daTaBaSe of CSam?!

(because one doesn’t exist)

(because if one existed it would either be hosting CSAM itself or showing just the hashes of files - hashes which won’t match if even one bit is changed due to transmission data loss / corruption, automated resizing from image hosting sites, etc)

(because this shit is hard to detect)

Some sites have tried automated detection of CSAM images. Youtube, in an effort to try to protect children, continues to falsely flag 30 year old women as children.

OP, I’m not saying you should give up, and maybe what you’re working on could be the beginning of something that truly helps in the field of CSAM detection. I’ve got only one question for you (which hopefully won’t be discouraging to you or others): what’s your false-positive (or false-negative) detection rate? Or, maybe a question you may not want to answer: how are you training this?

Yes, sure but… let’s take a look at CEO pay. Are your CEOs paid 100x more than the highest paid (underling) employee at that company? If not, that’s not the american way! Your businesses are still in business likely because CEOs there consider workers to be a valuable asset. In america, CEOs consider themselves to be the most valuable asset. We would need to decrease their pay to something more reasonable like 10x the highest paid (underling) employee at the company. Until then, we’re all easily replacable.

Severence is nice but in most cases you have to sign an NDA saying that you won’t discuss your severence or your time at the company, and that you won’t paint them in a bad light.

I was fired once because I thought it was bullshit that the company’s paychecks kept bouncing, and that we had a employee in the hospital without medical insurance because the CEO didn’t pay the health insurance premiums.

Each paycheck was a race to the bank to see if yours would get cached first. If you deposited the paycheck in your bank account directly, normally no money would enter your bank account because employer didn’t have enough funds to pay everyone. I was a programer making $9 an hour.

You guys get employee protections? What are those like?

I work because I need medical insurance to live. I cannot afford medical insurance on my own without a job. I make 6 figures and live paycheck to paycheck. If I lose my job, I will probably be homeless.

I would love to live in a world with employee protections. I’m not sure what those protections would be but anything better than what we’ve got seems good.
