Atheist but I won’t push it in your face if you don’t push religion in mine

I draw ridiculous chemicals sometimes so you’ll occasionally see me on r/cursedchemistry, but you need to have taken a chemistry course to understand the full cursedness of the images

@jeffalo what server do you use to host wasteof? I need to buy myself a home server and I want some recommendations.

ykw i’m gonna host a matrix home server so I can use it at school

people ask why I don’t like AI.

this. this is why I don’t like AI. not because I think it’s a danger to humanity, not because i’m just jumping on the bandwagon, but because it removes creativity.

yes, I got the memo that scratch won’t be adding generative projects.

but in general, I despise most generative AI platforms. they take away creativity from real artists and writers and the such, and they allow for the spread of misinformation much easier than before. the only type of generative AI that I’m fine with is the assistive AI that comes with some art programs, but only because they don’t generate pieces, they help the artist make pieces. at least it retains some of the originality and creativity.

and don’t even get me started on the people who get paid to “write prompts” for AI. It’s the stupidest, most low-effort job I’ve ever heard of.

(edit: i’m also okay with platforms like ChatGPT because they’re really just demonstrating what their model can do. they’re not trying to market it as a generative AI to solve all problems, they’re just trying to show people what they made.)

luckily it seems Scratch isn’t interested in adding script generation with AI

looks like 4.0 will probably just add different AI powered blocks/plugins, (edit: improved facial recognition, has been a feature since 2021) facial recognition being one of them on Scratch Lab, as well as body tracking and object detection

Yay! New scratch upda—

AI? Really? AI? They want to inspire creativity and they are including AI? How on earth will AI help kids create? If anything, it will stop the learning process because, instead of creating art or code that is creative and requires skill, kids will just write a prompt.

in case you missed it

a new position on the scratch foundation’s website went up recently, and the job description confirms that scratch 4.0 is in development. says it’ll feature a “re-imagined online community and creative ai”… whatever that means

no word of a release date, but that’s understandable. i’m actually kind of excited for this, i feel like scratch’s online community hasn’t been working super well recently so hopefully this’ll fix some of those issues. as for the ai thing… please no. so many things can go wrong with that…

fuck it i’m building a Tesla coil

happe halowen

I think my final grades for this quarter are cooked

just another day writing the ugliest fucking url encoding program i’ve ever seen in lua

i think my other friend and I are going to write a modified version of Javascript called Gabrielscript where every statement is formatted like this

HELP I FOUND THIS IN MY FRIEND’S CODE I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM

while (price != 0); {price-25 = quarter++}
   while (price != 0 && price<=1); {price-1 && penny++}    
   while (price != 0 && price<=25); {price-10 && dime++}
   while (price != 0 && price<=5); {price-5 && nickel++}

guys I found the best way to print hello world

test = {"H", "e", "l", "l", "o", " ", "w", "o", "r", "l", "d"}
for i = 1, 11, 1 do
    if i == 1 then
        char1 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 2 then
        char2 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 3 then
        char3 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 4 then
        char4 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 5 then
        char5 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 6 then
        char6 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 7 then
        char7 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 8 then
        char8 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 9 then
        char9 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 10 then
        char10 = test[i]
    end
    if i == 11 then
        char11 = test[i]
    end
end
print(char1..char2..char3..char4..char5..char6..char7..char8..char9..char10..char11)

oh my god

throwback to when we watched conjunction junction in elementary school

HELP I FOUND THIS IN MY FRIEND’S CODE I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM

while (price != 0); {price-25 = quarter++}
   while (price != 0 && price<=1); {price-1 && penny++}    
   while (price != 0 && price<=25); {price-10 && dime++}
   while (price != 0 && price<=5); {price-5 && nickel++}

so i decided to try lua

its so easy why have I not used this for anything before i’m so dumb

What kind of monumental fucking idiot do you have to be to post this on a website that is absolutely riddled with programmers

warning!

From the tests i have done, there are many vulnerabilities on this website, there are also a lot of bugs. Example: when posting something, if you spam click `post` it will create a post for every time you click the button, there should be an implementation to limit the time between posts and to make the button a one time click. (THIS BUG MAKES THE SITE LAG!). its also a pain to delete all of the posts if you accidentally do so as the site refreshes but will still lag and there is a small chance that the post will not be deleted. There is also a password vulnerability… maybe don’t have the user’s passwords get stored as a plain document.

THERE ARE VULNERABILITIES IN THE REPO!; Yes, even tho the repo is the legacy site and isn’t used anymore it is still good to state the vulnerabilities on the repo as people might use the template to make their own site like this and wont know of the vulnerabilities in the code:

List of the vulnerabilities on the repo: SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR), Lack of Input Validation, Insecure, Outdated Dependencies, Lack of Error Handling, Insecure Session Managemen, Storage of Sensitive Data(user and password information: Insecure Password Storage, Weak Password Hashing, Lack of Password Salting, Insecure Password Verification, Missing Password Complexity Requirements, insecure Password Reset Token Generation, insecure Password Storage in Sessions), Lack of Secure Communication… sry <3

(ctx: somebody {I won’t reveal who} made a politically charged post)
