They really ought to fix that exploit, at the very least disable the functionality for the time being until they find a fix.

The solution is to play only on private java servers that have modded out the censorship functionality.

Of course most of those are closed or semi closed so useless for commercial purposes...


Mojang won't authenticate your account to the server. They can't remove the censorship without turning into a server that allows prirated accounts to connect.

https://modrinth.com/mod/no-chat-reports

Basically with each chat message there's a cryptographic payload proving that you are the sender, so reports can't be fabricated.

If you remove it on the server before sending it to other players (or remove it on your client before sending it to the server) you can't report the messages.

Also look into this and this for exploits:

https://github.com/nodusclient/gaslight

https://github.com/nodusclient/guardian


That is irrelevant. It doesn't require chat messages to be banned for hate speech.

Someone found the right way to phrase a report or are just relying on support to mess up on one of the many reports being sent to get them banned. It's not like the player being banned was on the same server as the people reporting them.


Do you have a source ?

I didn't find any info about this exploit, and I thought it was related to chat reporting (being hate "speech" after all)


Possibly they have Copilot handling bans, then all bets are off.

Well, then it's time to download a crack.

Last time I played I'm pretty sure they had a plugin that disabled sending chats to Mojang but left all other checks intact. It just broke the griefing-by-reporting functionality.

Of course that won't save you if you go to servers that don't have reporting disabled so careful where you play.


That is irrelevant. It doesn't require chat messages to be banned for hate speech.

The solution is to ban so many accounts, including high-profile accounts, they can't ignore the fact they fucked up.

Its not as full featured as ffmpeg but I remember hearing about mediabunny, It's a web native ffmpeg alternative, and according to its website, seems to be a lot faster than ffmpeg.wasm

This is really cool, I just wish people wouldn't deface the website by submitting hateful speech as titles.


The 'all articles' section really is a dive into what happens when you allow unfiltered posting - it's a shame that it isn't clear how many individuals are creating this hateful and otherwise inappropriate titles - is it just 1 or 2 people, or has this been posted to 4chan or somewhere and there is a concerted effort to disrupt the site?

Shame there isn't a way to flag pages for removal. I was going to point my kids at this site, and it could be a great learning tool for schools, but not currently something I'd share.


Interesting idea with flagging. We are considering 2 options: 1. You can generate aricle only if it was previously referenced in previous one 2. Flagging mechanism, now that you brought it up.

Let me know what you think!


What if you (could quickly)…

manually delete the offensive stuff on the first page of the all page,

replace the All page with a static page with the offensive stuff removed,

and offer a link to the current All page 1, just as it is, at the bottom.

Hope it would make defacing articles at the top of the alphabet sort slightly less attractive.

(Edit: Stumble is impacted? Could use rudimentary tricks to limit stumbling on e.g. religious content, and might consider not detailing the methods used specifically :) )


I lean towards a variant of option 1: you can only generate an article that was previously referenced. But arbitrary phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, can be highlighted and used to form a new article.

Yes this may mean that there are pages for common words like "and"

Yes this may mean that there's a page for letters like "x"

Filtering what ends up becoming a hyperlink becomes a problem that I think can be solved with regex/whitelisting

I think articles should have a backlinks drop down. Might make consistency easier As well as generally just plain text search to pull relevant articles or context when generating a new article.


Perhaps option 1 will be more resilient.

It could be complemented by a "Create" page for starting a new article, filtering bad titles and using a captcha to limit the vandals.

And another captcha for comment posting, which is already spammed, unfortunately.

I think a flagging mechanism will not be able to keep up with mass defacement.

Another suggestion: a daily dump of article titles, their connectivity and creation dates. I would love to visualize the underlying graph and its growth.

Thank you for such nice site!


The obvious thing to me is to ask the AI to notice obviously offensive submissions and transform them along absurdist lines, such that "I-hate-girls" becomes the familiar Wikipedia redirection page saying something like "Archaic expression. See: Eight Grills". Store the redirect, but only index the sanitized page.


Seems like something the ai could help you with - ask it in the prompt to return an error if the submitted article title doesn’t seem like a whimsical fake encyclopedia article title


Reposting my comment from further up in the tread here:

I've seen these antisemitic slurs in the alphabetically sorted entries under numbers starting with 0, next to statementss like this is AI slop.

Hypothesis: this is a targeted, scrupulous and agenticly orchestrated attempt to mark this as a potential "poison well" on behalf of some uncultured, technofeudocratic interests, that hate the arts and hauntology in the spirit of Jorge Luis Borges[1].

The use of antisemitic slurs shares kinship with the "explain in a gay voice" jailbreak. [0] It tries to stigmatise a project rich in artistical potential, to protect the own financial intetests and attempts to transform all human knowledgeworkers into a surplus lumpenproletariat.

Its similar to producers of pharmaceutical generica giving themselvess names with `0` or `a` in the beginning to be shown as first entries in the alphanumerically sorted listings of generics, pharmacies can supplement as cheaper options on doctors perscription (pharmacist in germany told me about the phenomenon)

Proposal: Ministry of not quite accurate maps has to be metainstantiated in regard of checking that the construction of a map of the territrorry of the non speculative and absoluetly factual thought of the encylopedia is not intoxicated by artefacts that take the formal consistency of the highly speculative and non factual discourse emanating in the like of reddit/tiktok/hackernews

‐--------- Being referred to in a previous article goes into the proposed direction. But I think what id also necessary is to cjeck for a certain asthetic quality of posts that disallows these attacks. Entries need to conform with the "guidelines" of the minustry of almost accurate maps (of the territory of borges library) - having a rich semantic structure that osscilates between a certain knowledge of concepts and and domain knowledge (e.g. about frequency modulation in birds voval chords) and phantasy: i.e. has an actually FACTUAL structure en contraire to what is happening on discourse such as on this site, kno`n say'n?

So not checking if it appears in a previous entrance, but developi g a higherdimensional metric in the sense of Sparse Auto Encoders, that represents the quality of that. The vandalism of some factual people (I like that expression) wouldn't conform with that. It should also have a certain ingenuity and must absoluetly be a protected secret of the monistry, because if the malicous nature, of this would somehow morph into the realm of the pedia that would be supertoxic i guess


Could have filtered out by effort put into it, but now with LLMs, the effort is suspicious as well.


Bot check fails for me.


> lawmakers US/EU/Anywhere else, should force all browsers to actively block fingerprinting.

That won't happen.


Didn't realize FUTO was connected to Eron Wolf, which connects to Curtis Yarvin, which connects to Palantir.

Great...


What, do you sincerely believe Palantir is pulling the strings behind Ladybird? What is the accusation here? Everybody can be "connected" in some way or another, but it's meaningless.



I don't think Palantir is behind Ladybird, I just wish FUTO wasn't connected to Eron Wolf.


I think it's more a concern about the company one keeps; Ladybird's Andreas Kling has certainly ruffled feathers over the past couple of years by doubling down on anti-inclusionary language takes ("I'm not against gender neutral language, I'm just not going to allow it in my project") and supporting DHH's most douchebaggiest takes.

I understand that not everybody cares about this sort of thing, believing that politics of developers should be irrelevant; I'm personally not going to go around ringing the shame bell at people who use Ladybird (or Rails. But Kling loudly shouting "I support the free speech rights of fascists but get away from me with that DEI shit" doesn't give me warm fuzzies about using Ladybird, either. It's a lot easier to let politics of developers be irrelevant if the developers aren't out there energetically sharing them.


They even did a video with Curtis Yarvin on their official channel...


Nearly every single website I'm not logged into these days want me to "confirm I'm not a bot".

it is incredibly annoying but what can you do? AI scrapers ruined the web.


I think they mean that video decoders and encoders tend to have custom assembly code for speedup.


And? It's common knowledge that the "reference" or "research" version of any codec is always quite high level to get development going and actually produce a working bitstream


The thermals hopefully won't be a problem, since the new Intel chips are quite efficient.


The main problem with Framework 13 thermals is that if you just put it on top of a bed or sofa, the cloth blocks the bottom ventilation holes and the PC roasts itself with zero airflow. It's fine placed on top of a table, just not on a soft surface. I wish they would fix this glaring issue. Most normies are just going to place their laptops on the couch or bed without thinking about it.

Macbooks have a better design here. They are safe to put on top of sofas and beds. No ventilation holes on the bottom.


Normies don’t buy framework laptops.

Search this thread for the “oh but it’s so expensive, I could just buy a new laptop from any other manufacturer every 3 years and it would be cheaper” posts - those are the normies.


normie absolutely love the expansion io slots.

“wait so i can have TWO ethernet ports???”

i have been responsible for at least three fw16 sales because I got one first, and this was the biggest thing i heard


What would a normie need a second ethernet port for? Even a first ethernet port for that matter


Nah. Normies needing Ethernet ports buy usb c to Ethernet adapters at Walmart or Best Buy.


Does anyone know whether the AMD chips are more performant? I like AMD more as a company, especially since I like healthy competition. I'd prefer an AMD chip if it's as efficient and performant as the Intel ones.


Absolutely don’t buy the AMD 300 series chips in the current Framework 13” lineup. Panther Lake is what you want. It’s a large leapfrog over what AMD has been offering for this product category.

You’ll get far better battery life for all use cases as well as performance that matches or beats AMD. Also, if you select the X7 you’re getting the best integrated graphics on the market that isn’t made by Apple - basically on par with the M5, and far better than the top option from Framework (HX370) while sipping battery by comparison.

I’m sure AMD will come back soon with a good answer to Panther Lake, but as of right now, it’s not what you want.

Don’t worry about AMD needing your charity, they aren’t going anywhere, they’re a more valuable company than Intel, and they’ll compete in this segment in the future. It’s just not the right buy right now.


This is a great answer, very helpful. Thanks!


Another piece of correction to myself…I was reviewing benchmarks and I was a bit too excited about the CPU performance specifically.

Something like a Ryzen AI HX370 and even the 350 does perform better than the 8 core X7 Intel chip, along with a number of other options.

But on the graphics side, the Intel is really fantastic.

And of course we are talking about a thin and light laptop where you’re going to appreciate stellar battery life a lot more than exceptional performance for the most part.


As a slight piece of pedantry to myself, when I said “best integrated graphics on the market besides Apple” I excluded AMD strix halo since you basically can’t get it in a laptop anyway, and the one or two models you can get it in don’t make a whole lot of purchase sense.


My bet (I don't think there is any confirmation of it) is that the AMD board is still the one released last year. The main difference I see is that the new Intel board uses LPCAMM2 memory whereas the AMD board relies on usual socketed memory that has higher latency and is more memory hungry.


Looking at Intel's specs, it seems my current CPU has a base of 28W, boost up to 64W. The high end part Framework is selling for the 13 Pro has a base of 25W, boost to 80W.

So seems basically the same on the low end, with the new part boosting quite a bit higher. Presumably you get more perf per watt on the new CPU, but still.


I don't know what CPU you currently have but don't sleep on performance increases. If this new chip can do the same amount of work for less cycles, that's less time spent making heat.


Do they support S3 sleep (suspend to RAM) again?


I feel like that's not realistic, why would they launch drones to California rather than some place like DC or NY. It's a long distance.

I don't even think they'd launch drones to DC either, they seem to be all in on attacking oil infrastructure as well as us bases & defense systems in the Middle East, rather than America.


>why would they launch drones to California rather than some place like DC or NY. It's a long distance.

Because they allegedly have a ship already in the Pacific loaded with drones.

DC and NY are way too far from Iran to launch any kind of attack; the only attack they can possibly do is from a ship, and ships can be anyplace where there's deep enough water.
