people wrote scripts to color everything one color, had to implement some limits, but I think should be good now

Sadly that is unequivocally a very fun thing to do, and honestly I was considering trying it before I came and checked the HN thread haha

Maybe Anubis-style proof of work?

oooh good idea thanks

implemented, thanks for the idea, love it

sorry about that and the merges! I'm stopping now :)

that was a fun way to spend the past hours


Was it you that was trying to get the German flag on there? If so, wow great job! Got a few screenshots!

yes hahah did it twice, I think OP nuked it once

it was a simple rule, if y < 1/3, black, if y < 2/3, ...


I went on there with my young child, and there was a german flag on there, just not the 2000s german flag, more like 1940s german flag.

Really we need some common sense censorship on that site someone made for fun.

neural_thing was really good about resetting if anything went awry. It's just 1 person's toy project they wanted to share. Set your expectations of investment at that level. Detecting swasticas + every other symbol that might taint the mind of your young child is a rather hard task, and yet you expect it to be done for free for you.

I can give them a break for missing one case, and point the blame for that solely at the internet in general for trying to ruin a purely fun thing with hate.


This is not just an issue of my child, for example, if a German user were to open that site in public, they would be found guilty of hate speech, amongst dozens of localities : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bans_on_Nazi_symbols. Also in California, where speech is free but is not free of consequences.

I don't make the rules here, I just don't want this guy to go to jail for his fun project.


No worries lol. Learning experience for me :)
