I believe it was in preview build versions of Win 7 or 10 where researchers found it was sending the generated thumbnails of images on your PC to Redmond (MS HQ). Can’t remember if they said it was for CSAM detection or just a debugging feature in the preview builds.

I love the term terminated. Like did they fire him, or did they drag him out back and give him the ol’ yeller?

Could you share that “logo”? I thinl there’s a lot of ripe ground in Stand Alone Complex for the invesitgation of the laughing beanis case.

Man, you didn’t take the easy way out, this beanis is state of the art!

Those are the only other Gotye songs I know.

Thanks for showing us your beanis!

Modlog shows that OP’s posts have been being removed for 7 months.

Peep the modlog. Tywele at least says it wasn’t them and they want to be removed as a mod from that comm. Plus this user’s posts have been being removed for 7 months and they just now noticed nearly a month after being banned.

You absolute fucking troglodyte.

All modlogs on lemmy are public. Here’s yours you absolute waste of air.

Yeah, lemmy simply doesn’t notify you when a mod takes action against your posts or comments, and it’s not always clear in indicating what has been deleted or not to the user who posted it. It’s a pretty frustrating issue with the software/system.

If the mod doesn’t DM you, or make a comment on the post before they remove it, you won’t be notified.

But the mod logs are time stamped based off when the action was taken. You can look through the code yourself, or I can share a screenshot of multiple mod actions over the course of a few hours against a single post that all have different time stamps (based off the time each action was taken) rather than all having a single timestamp of when the post was made.

Are we certain this is first offense? The mod logs screenshotted in a few places in this thread show removals over months.

OP insists that’s because it’s showing the date the posts were made, and not the timestamp of the mod action, but that’s definitively not how the modlogs work. I can bring up some screenshots of mods taking multiple actions against a doxxing post to demonstrate if needed (long story, someone accused me of doxxing them because it happened while we were arguing and I took the time to break down the timeline of events to show it made no sense to be me).

You’re responding to multiple people as if they are a single person. I don’t think it’s the multiple people asking you the same thing at the same time that are the problem here.

You can in fact, answer once and just link your other response if it’s so damn frustrating.

Huh? That’s not how mod logs work. They track when the mod action occurred.

Even if you were correct, that’s still multiple removals. They’ve made their feelings about your art clear.

Also, don’t be a douche and call me an idiot for calling out your bullshit.

Great callout!

I participate in the techtakes community on awful.systems, which is devoted to laughing at tech bro “takes”. HN posts and comments are almost too easy as targets for derision and are common topics for meta-discussion of the reprehensible opinions.

I was just trying to have a light touch here. Start with the facts. We can talk about the literal cults spun off from it later.

The site’s one of the clearest windows into the myriad and shockingly widespread ghoulish opinions that seem to fester in places that consider themselves important to the tech industry or attract people who think they are.

I really should start keeping a tally on shit like “how many times have I seen eugenics suggested on HN this month”.

Heads up, Hacker News is a social media site like here or reddit, it’s not a news outlet. It’s run by Y Combinator, a huge venture capital firm in the SF Bay area, and the users tend to be tech bros or aspiring ones. Many attach their user accounts to their github and professional identity. I think there’s only one admin and they tend to be heavy handed.

There were six removals of your art prior to this.

Man, I wish I could count.

I’ll vibrate at 431Hz and leave my options open, thanks.

Hearbeat notifications man. “Yes I am online” email once a day or so. Yeah it’s more emails to delete but it can be a lifesaver.

I’m remembering a very not fun discussion my team had about “the monitoring system not sending any alerts doesn’t inherently mean everything is ok” after an outage that was missed by our monitoring system.

You need to make sure you’re monitoring connectivity as well as specific problem states. No data is a problem state often overlooked, and it’s not always considered for every resource type in these systems out of the box.

And you probably want a heartbeat notification. Yes, it’s noise, but if you don’t see anything from monitoring you need to question if monitoring is the thing that broke. It sending out a notification every so often going “yes I am online” is useful.
