Suggestion: what if there was a lemmy instance solely for reporting malicious lemmy/fediverse servers? I've read some stuff about FBI crackdown and mastodon instances containing questionable material. Wouldn't it be gret to have some kind of federated "registry" of all the bad actors out there? I am pretty clueless, but would that help?

it's to pay some indian worker on a chromebook to take your prompt and put it into one of three AI's at their disposal.

You have my utmost support even though I am not even on your instance. Just saw it in the federated feed :p Stay strong LGBTQ+ 💪💪💪

iphones just do weird shit after a while so that you can't go on without a restart. truly smart

Angry voting has never helped with anything. It would be like setting your house on fire because the neighbor's music is too loud for your taste.

Voting is not what you think it is. I encourage you on re-evaluating that.

what enriches lives:

  1. solving world hunger
  2. doing the taxes and other boring stuff
  3. translation
  4. replacing corrupt governments
  5. cheaper living

what we use AI for instead:

  1. making society, artists, already poor people poorer
  2. making life more complicated thanks to increased joblessness
  3. causing more polarisation and conflict
  4. helping corrupt governments
  5. more expensive living

why invent an AI that eats ice cream for you when instead, it should do the dishes and pass the butter?

I am all with you on editing images and creating a "fake" reality on social platforms.

But this poses the question: how much has digital tech become part of our perception and is digitally enhancing a picture really much of a difference if it just helps us see more of the actual reality? I don't think increasing exposure and contrast is changing reality, it just squeezes down what we cannot see so easily and makes it visible in that narrow slit that our human perception can actually process. We use digital editing nowadays that it has become part of our whole process of perceiving reality, so much so that the digital picture litterally replaces what we saw with our eyes - simply because digital photography has become an extension, much like glasses, shoes, cars are litterally a part of our body.

Imho as long as it doesn't create pixels from scratch that weren't there in the first place, it is still viable to polish a picture of the sky to make it more appealing. I mean no buttcheeks were enhanced here, no eyes replaced or lips turned i to a grotesque sausage mouth freakshow 😅

hihi

high exposure is used on almost any high-level landscape photography, even during daylight and not exclusively auroras. there is nothing wrong with squeezing down a couple of minutes into one picture for a better visualization

iOS app is pure garbage. Before adding more ad functionality, how about fixing those annoying swipe gesture bugs first? After a double ad, it is impossible for me to exit full screen by swiping down. Also, auto zoom to fill screen works only with 85% of videos, why is that?

I think an ios/android peertube app would greatly improve the popularity of decentralized video streaming

but that's great. using long exposure is a skill that is highly regarded in the photographers community. early photo plates needed exposure for at least 7 minutes, requiring the subject to stand completely motionless. quite a challenge.
