#tesseract

That’s some really evil shit: https://lemmy.world/post/49794261 So Tesseract (an alternative Lemmy client) downloads a blocking/filtering list from its servers, something that most people likely weren’t aware. This “feature” was introduced November last year (version 1.5.0) and is described as “Tesseract attempts to filter out as much baseline toxicity as possible” in the settings option allowing it to be disabled. The list currently contains 544 (!) individual users and 2282 (!!) regular expressions applied to user names. Among the expressions censored in user names are: Democrat, Republican, Israel, ElonMusk, trump, amerika and billionaire. There is also the regular expression usa?(.*)?terrorist which seems to be intended for the phrase “USA are a terrorist state.” The list also contains 97 censored communities and 32 regular expressions applied to community names. Finally, there are 352 (!) “forbidden” domains and 296 filtered phrases including proletariat, epstein class, Jesse Welles and “Hi, I’m an AI engineer based in Japan”. The author also disliked 👉👈 emoji. Judging by the project’s issues some people only just found out that they are being censored and are wondering why. #tesseract #lemmy

@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange May I offer some (non-AI, #Tesseract-powered) #OCR for your #AltText? How long has it been since you’ve seen the original “Jurassic Park”? SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening. On the other side of me was my son Tim — he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, “Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy’s fart, but she’s going to think it’s me. Iam going to be subliminally blamed for my son’s crimes, and I don’t think she’ll talk to me afterwards.” But she was well brought up and never mentioned it. JEFF GOLDBLUM [I love that story, Sam. I’ve heard him tell that a couple of times, and it’s just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.
