Miss identifying someone has consequences

What about Miss Identifying’s parents, Mr and Mrs Identifying?

Ah yes, the “splurdge” part of the article, a word everyone knows as a very technical term that’s used for filling in for an inability to articulate an actual line of logic. Instead of logic, just explain that “I don’t like the conclusion of the article, so it must be wrong somehow even though I can’t explain why.”

It’s also important for people to chime in that an article must be wrong because it just “feels wrong”. Of course don’t actually provide any reasoning for it, because why would that be necessary?

Don’t forget how useful it is to ask a question, completely ignoring that the article addresses it. Don’t even bring it up in the questioning. When someone points that out, then the best strategy is to lash out at them, because they were such a big meanie by pointing out the obvious problem of not reading the article.

Lemmy communities are all about feelings, not information!

Oh, also I took a screenshot of your comment because I knew you were going to edit it.

If you read the article, you’d know. Thanks for making a comment, even though you didn’t.

This might be the worst quality image I’ve ever seen posted to this community. It took literally seconds to find the original. I would much rather have fewer posts on Lemmy if it means not having awful quality images like this.

For all the people who keep still saying “no, they are definitely doing it because of this one anecdote that wasn’t even properly tested, but trust me bro it’s real.” (Like Linktank@lemmy.today and RumorsOfLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Anyone with even a basic understanding of networking can realize how this could be easily tested and proven, especially by the millions of people with deep comprehension, experience, and tools on hand. There is so much incentive to prove this, particularly if the information was then used to sue these companies. So, why hasn’t anyone done this?

Because what the article says is true. They don’t listen to everyone’s conversations. It’s easier and significantly cheaper to just use the data they have on you to both influence you and predict you.

“Can’t draw” effectively means “don’t currently have the skill” not “will never be able to”, generally. If it would take hours learning a new skill to create one thing and if you don’t have the available time to do so, then that’s outside of the realm of a reasonable expectation, and thus effectively counts as “can’t”.

You should. It’s divine.

Was this originally a video and this is just a cropped screenshot?

This makes no sense otherwise.

That’s also true for being vegetarian. It’s bonkers. But vegetarians don’t lecture other vegetarians like vegans do.

Veganism? Fantastic.

Vegans? Mostly assholes.

Downvote if you agree.

If your saliva is rolling instead of dripping, please go see a doctor.

I fell for that stupid “sound on” overlay. I hope whoever did the audio over this stubs their toe constantly all day and the person who added the overlay gets a whole week.

I’ve used plenty of ergo keyboards and fancy layouts, but as soon as I try to use a regular keyboard I have to re-learn how to type and it really halts any productivity.

This sort of thing may be nice if you only ever use one computer or you’re willing to pack around your keyboard.

Even still, I never liked ergo boards enough to think it’s worth the effort, especially considering being useless on other keyboards once I’m used to ergo.

Now I just stick to a 75% or TKL. Keeps me versatile.

You’re either perfect, or you’re not me.

I dunno if I trust this image without at least 10% more jpegification

I recently saw a self-hosted imgix/cloudinary alternative. I thought I starred it on gh, but apparently not and I can’t remember the name.

Edit
I think this was it:
https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy

But also, on a second read of your post, I now realize what you are looking for is right here:
https://squoosh.app/

It’s open source and it’s entirely client-side. It allows you to customize the settings to compress your image to the file size and format you need and maintain as much as the quality as possible. I can’t think of a simpler solution that works across all your devices.
