I like it! Thanks :)

Isn’t the FBI supposed to be non-political?

Yet here they are trying to own Z-Libs

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.)

Awww surely not!

Ever heard that quote, paraphrasing the start of it:

You run into a jerk in the morning, you ran into a jerk.

(Maybe you know the rest) If you give that some thought for the rest of the week (assuming you’re out and about), interested to hear any thoughts on it :)

Read about those DCP drives! Maybe cammers are just burning theaters one by one and careful not to return for a long time if ever.

A theater operator doing the recording would be wildly risky it seems unless watermarking has been defeated. Visual and audio watermarking perhaps.

Seems like they’re very comfortable with applying watermarks at least for those betting sites!

Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.

Might have to make a new post about this:

How are there still cams if there’s been anti-piracy watermarks reported on since at least 2006?

Maybe the pirates never hit the same theater twice in a row… travel to different cities… only record at any given theater once every few years… then you’d need resources to catch somebody I’d guess.

I expect not all theaters can afford to send guys in with night vision goggles:

Maybe that’s outdated now since they can just throw up IR cameras:

Corrupt theater manager or shifty projectionist: no camera/security concerns, but still watermark concerns

Regular theatergoer: both camera/security concerns AND watermark concerns

Gutsy pirates out there!

This is the exact kind of thing I was hoping someone would chime in with. Thanks for the interesting info!

This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.

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
