Chuckles I’m in danger?

I like it! Thanks :)

We know what cum and precum are. But what’s postcum 🤔🌌🤔

TST shouldn’t doorknock to spread the word about their services?!

Let’s say everyone used an identity verification service to signup, like had to send photos of their ID and their SSN (national identity number) to be vetted by a third party.

How long after the service got popular would it take for the most aggressive marketers to pay rings of fraudsters to lend their identities and/or make fake reviews?

I think it would definitely start out great until it got big enough to be super useful and then the fraud would ramp up. I think an organization like Consumer Reports has a chance at successfully maintaining a low-bias product database, but the paywall is a big obstacle, as is the fact they’ll only review the largest product catalogs.

ED Vance never does 😢

(Disclaimer: it’s okay if you have ED, this is only directed at couchfoker)

For those who wanna shell out some money:

Pricing is likely a little higher than the lowest price they show. Expect a couple bucks or something after making a purchase of like… five bucks or so.

Apparently Monero is accepted.

(They have plenty of competitors and some might be cheaper or not require purchasing a balance.)

The politicians may want the win for selfish reasons. You just want the best representatives for yourself, your loved ones, and your country.

This hypothetical allows you to weigh a party taking the moral high ground against representatives the average Lemming does not want making four years of policy decisions being in a position to do so.

You can give the party you want to win a spine, but it comes at a cost.

Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?

🤡😉 glad I stole that from the original artist

Put your NSFW hats on and enjoy y’all

Thanks for your input everybody!

Thank you - this led to lots of interesting reading!

Ayyyyy

Amazon Lightsail, free for three months!

What a fabulous suggestion to meet every need listed.

Like you, @just_another_person@lemmy.world & @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space also get lots of credit for a solution that will meet my need in spite of my focus on the cloud-based solution. The free Lightsail option is a little slower than would be ideal… it’s also freeeee! So glad to be exposed to it regardless of whether I end up going local VM or cloud.

Thanks!

Did they just e.g. remove a passing car from the background*, and will tags on some images lead to untagged fake images being trusted more? Oh this fun new world we’re in.

*as someone else pointed out, if it was a minor edit, was the underlying technology using legit training data or unlicensed stuff

trained on data they’re actually allowed to train on

That’s the ticket. For touchups, certainly, that’s the key: did theft help, or not?

He just won’t stop!

Aight I repeated “cherry picked” earlier… no:

“Curated.” Was happy to curate a few of the more interesting comments for our community.

If I weren’t so lazy I might’ve found another comment in favor of the labeling to bump up the screenshotted proportion of replies in support from the 25% seen in my OP. Still, think I did an aight job.

Okayyy night now haha

Thanks for the edit. We all love that intellectual honesty!

Don’t miss this absolute roast though:

Roasted and salted 🥜

Now -

1: I should’ve been more clear… those full screen screenshots are so enormous, Lemmy has to compress them for cost and UX reasons.

2: Screenshot over link is a very intentional choice. Even if you’re positive you would’ve clicked based on the title, there are some great responses in this thread that I guarantee you we would not have been blessed with if this post had been a link instead of an image.

Everyone is busy. Lots of us work away on keyboards all day, and we hop on here just to scroll casually. Some huge forum thread? Forget it! A little screenshot that has teasers and can be digested bit by bit, with the leading post in the image helping folks decide whether they care enough to read the rest of the image and furthermore to find a source? (either by an OP or commenter’s source link, or exact match web search of an OCR’d phrase from the image) That’s the best shot we have at easing in as many people as possible into a topic. (Do feel bad for the vision impaired, hopefully the source link is a decent standin.) But for 98% of us this is prob the way. Aight maybe 95%, you got a good community response to your comment :)

Thanks for chiming in m’lord

I imagine we’ll need specialized hardware in the future.

The president allegedly made a gaffe on film? Let’s see that chain of custody, that raw file hash on the Canon/RED/Sony servers…

Ooh, something to this end was released in 2022!

💯

Absolutely cherry picked. Let us know if you peruse the source:

Without cherry picking… imagine these will be resized to the point of illegibility:

It’s like they’re ignoring the pixel I captured in the bottom left!

Really interesting analogy.

Also I imagine most anybody who gets a photo labeled will find a trick before making their next post. Copy the final image to a new PSD… print and scan for the less technically inclined… heh
