adroidBalloon,

ahem, I believe it’s mustache-twirling…

YouTube Can Read All Text Inside Your Videos and Flag It for Violations (stackdiary.com)

Sam Oh, the Vice President of Marketing at Ahrefs, recently shed light on this capability. Oh disclosed that a video posted by Ahrefs was flagged by YouTube for a rather unexpected reason. The video in question displayed a snippet from a book, and within that snippet was the name “Donald Trump.”....

adroidBalloon,

I think this is more of an official acknowledgment and them exploring how it works, not so much “breaking news” for those of us in the know. I’d imagine most people are probably unaware of this.

adroidBalloon,

eh… I believe you have your controlled substances mixed up…

adroidBalloon,

Germany=Nazi joke

not funny

adroidBalloon,

didn’t Parler have something like this, then their entire DB got hacked handed over to the FBI just after jan 6th, complete with hundreds of videos of the traitors committing crimes that they upload themselves? since Parler didn’t strip any metadata from uploaded media, the feds were able to use it all as evidence and use everyone’s IDs to tie it all to them.

I bet they arrested hundreds of people this way and used tons more of it at the various trials

adroidBalloon,

I’ve been under huge amounts of stress and have been mismanaged, but it never turned me into a grabass bully.

systemic issues like this don’t just come from nowhere. likewise, they didn’t just appear, either. nor will they simply disappear now that they’ve been exposed or with some glib promise to “do better”.

workplace atmospheres like this take time to develop and… fester. From what Madison described, it’s been this what from, at least, the time she started, which means these behaviors, these patterns, were existing, likely for some time.

What Linus knew, when, etc. may important in a civil case, but it’s not to me— He failed at his job, and didn’t ask for help/hire help to fix the problems until faaaar too late. If it was this bad for Madison, it had to be at least as bad if not worse for others before her who simply did not (or could not) speak out, as well as other who are still there.

Systemic issues do not affect only one person, and they don’t appear out of nowhere. Expect more bad news and expect that any resolution/fixes will take time and major change. If you don’t see any major changes over a reasonable amount of time, don’t trust claims that they’re “working on it."

adroidBalloon,

lol, wow. I guess summer break is over, and we’re back to this dipshit being in the news.

and, yeah, he should have to pay every last penny of what he has, despite his rather inept attempts at hiding his money by sifting it around to his family and friends.

adroidBalloon,

counterpoint: please do.

one doesn’t have to go far to find posts of them comment-bombing in groups, trolling en-masse and generally being rude and abusive to other users. there’s a reason many other users are calling for defederation.

it’s not a matter of their politics or beliefs. there’s just a high percentage of very rude people from that instance who enjoy trolling posts and which seems to have little or no moderation.

adroidBalloon,

people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.

you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.

if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

adroidBalloon,

the US didn’t go to Afghanistan to combat the opium trade. thanks for the false equivalence, though.

adroidBalloon,

report it

adroidBalloon,

you can look through the modlog in the sidebar to see

adroidBalloon,

So all those DEA guys, FDA folks teaching wheat farming,

hilarious. you should do stand-up.

so, you’re claiming, without evidence I might add, that people from the DEA and hehehe… the FDA were teaching wheat farming to the Afghani people? The DEA and FDA. And you expect anyone to take you seriously? lmao

and all the reports we were fed about how we are responsible for eradicating Afghan opium

what reports? let’s see these alleged “reports”

What were we (and Myself, personally) doing there, again?

I have no idea what you were doing there, and if you think this is what was happening, I seriously doubt you were ever there at all.

adroidBalloon,

aww, look at you, with your tantrums and your insults because you have no facts to back up your claims.

and look! you even have a link that contains exactly nothing that backs up your claims. funny how you insult my reading comprehension, but if yours wasn’t so terrible, you’d see that for yourself. it’s cute how angry you are.

sleep well.

adroidBalloon,

adroidBalloon,

hmm… I’m not so sure. Olyphant seems too chill to be who Pike was in that film. He’s not quite imposing enough of a presence.

adroidBalloon,

I don’t think Abrahams was blaming Olyphant for his age, just that Kirk’s role needed to be cast with a young actor. Olyphant doesn’t meet that requirement. How should he have said that?

adroidBalloon, (edited )

wouldn’t that be dishonest?

adroidBalloon, (edited )

edit: what does this have to do with courtesy?

Olyphant would have been 40-41 when they were casting Star Trek (2009) and Chris Pine was 28-29. That’s a pretty meaningful age difference that comes off in both appearance and performance. It wasn’t just some minor detail— the actor who got cast had to play Kirk from the age of ~18-25, so it made a lot more sense to cast an actor much closer to that age. I don’t see the problem here or how explaining that is “mean”.

edit: in fact, Olyphant didn’t think it was mean at all:

FTA:

“Auditioning sucks,” Olyphant concluded, “and the fact that I remember the audition process fondly says a lot about J.J. Abrams and what a wonderful man that guy is.”

adroidBalloon,

I know it’s taboo to say in a lot of places, but I really do, too. can’t stand the Kelvin films.
