Downvotes are a contribution, they are just the kind of contribution you don’t like

and we allow rules in comms that ban certain types of contributions, like propaganda outlets, low value sources, *phobia

in general, not allowing contributions that moderators believe is bad for the health of the comm is an acceptable policy

still there from australia too

perhaps simply putting something like cling wrap over the lens and moving it for each photo would be enough: adding some scratches and roughness that slightly changes each time you move it

i’d guess that the digital processing is a well known change so you can account for it

after all, modern post processing on a phone afaik is done in the raw sensor data, so is using a lot more data than is actually stored in the JPEG: it probably leads to more information being available than if it weren’t done (more shadow detail rather than crushed blacks, etc)

The same applies to radio transmitters and every analogue medium like probably microphone or preamp or ADC.

exactly why when you buy any halfway decent mic there’s the option to buy them in sets: they’ll have come off the production line together so that their imperfections are as close to each other as possible so that they sound as identical as they can be

there will always be burner phones

if you’re taking about charlie kirk with that “civil conversation” bit, those conversations were using misleading half truths to publicly debate people he disagrees with in order to convert the people around said debate to his cause. i wouldn’t call that civil… civil is healthy, truthful debate on the merits: not winning at all costs

honestly the text kinda looks like it’s AI generated… has weird kerning, things aren’t quite right

of course you’re right! we should just shut down some of the largest mines in the world

i foresee no consequences from this

(related note: south australia where one of the largest underground mines in the world is, largely gets its power from renewables)

people should probably move from canada and most of the north of the USA too: far too cold up there during winter

sounds reasonable… i’ll just go tell large parts of australia where it’s a workplace health and safety issue to be out of AC for more than 15min during the day that they should do their bit for climate change and suck it up… only a few people will die

perhaps for that particular group… though i had a friend whose old af macbook air had stopped updating literally years ago, and he still used it because it still worked… but then apps slowly stopped working

i installed linux on it, and he was actually really keen to give linux itself a go, and it worked great for him!

i gave him an old macbook a little while after that, and he’s back on macos now, but he said he’d switch back in a heartbeat if there were problems (slowness, update compatibility, etc)

i guess the thing being he’s not really technical enough to care about the OS other than outcomes, but also was actually interested in linux itself to learn for the sake of it… he’s a lab tech, and vibe codes data manipulation tools, so not a lot of IT-related skills, but always interested in learning

then you have to pay for it though

there are lots of different covers for license plates which block photography only, and allow humans to see the plate. i’m not sure how all of them work

for the tricks that mess up AI, yes

but i believe this comment was talking about things like IR blocking covers and such

and they’re probably highly illegal pretty much everywhere because they stop speed and red light cameras working and that’s exactly their marketed purposes

this is their patch for the whole disk data loss debacle

i’ll add a concrete example to this… i’ve described a startup i built in another comment but TLDR:

compliance obligations when protecting kids from sexual predators are difficult to prove: sexual abuse usually comes out 30 years later, so standard record keeping is pretty fraught… companies (like the company monitoring compliance - our startup for example) might not exists any more, paper gets lost, database formats become difficult or impossible to read

writing signed proof of compliance to the blockchain is a way of ensuring that an organisation was doing what they could at the time… how this is achieved is tricky for anyone but the source of record, but with blockchain it’s possible (described in the post)

“creamy” is a pretty common positive attribute for ice cream

a mexican flag with a gun under it that says “come at me ICE”… hopefully they’ll call all their mates and go full war zone roleplay for maximum time wasting

the only acceptable voting machine is 1 that prints a ballot paper to submit so you can verify your vote

they can total the results and heck imo even perhaps have some kind of network to keep a running tally! but that tally is only for preliminary results: it’s not the source of truth, and thus not worth tampering with
