  • Oh man, if you gave a programmer minified C code with no comments, whitespace, or newlines in printed paper, they'd probably charge more than your lawyer to read that shit.

  • Top Day/x hours in descending order, based on last visit. Gives you the top voted stuff made in more recent time. Though my default sort is actually by new.

  • Videos on Lemmy

  • Yeah, please don't add videos to things my instance has to store. The images already pull enough disk space as is.

  • I'm on Linux using ffmpeg on the command line. No Windows or GUIs in sight in this process.

  • Just for you, I turned it into webp and made it 40KB. I could have also made it look less like garbage, but then it would have been 50KB, which is unacceptable.

  • I like a challenge, it's a little fuzzy, but here's one that's just slightly over 10kb.

  • I remember reading about Mold years ago and being impressed, even though most of my programs that I compile don't really benefit in any way. I appreciate that it kept going.

  • Yet you still posted it in jpeg. Can't fool me with your sly tricks.

  • No, that image plus the one on my instance are images I got from thispersondoesnotexist that I thought had funny expressions.

  • I'm sure there's some mechanism in antitrust to prevent the broken up companies from doing things like that. Otherwise, a "primary" company would just contract out the old other pieces and they're basically whole again.

  • I'm not famous and if I have to put a picture of myself up in public I'd be AI generating myself.

  • I suppose another solution might be that it falls under those lines, but some misbehaving services where they're uploaded are giving out improper filenames and not confirming the type.

    Though I can't imagine many of those being incredibly popular, or, it's just that images are recycled for so long that eventually many of them hit such a site in their lifetimes.

  • Companies have gotten broken up before, like AT&T once did many years ago. In this case, a Google breakup would probably separate some of their services into different companies. At the very least Google (the "advertising" company) should be separate from Chrome (the "browser" company), because it creates a conflict of interest and creates monopolistic behavior.

    In any case, trying to do something is better than doing nothing and hoping it turns out all right.

  • I didn't include details because I still had to research after the comment, but this page details several methods of contact. The antitrust email looks like a good place to start if you don't want to mail anything. But physical mail is harder to ignore, it actually has to get into someone's hands and be dealt with. So I'll try to write up a letter and send that to maybe the regional office nearest Google's HQ.

  • Google and Chrome really need to be broken up. Maybe people should start writing (physical) letters to the FTC asking to review Google's recent actions as monopolistic behavior.

    It wouldn't be the first time. But showing the interest is the best way to get the ball rolling that we can do.

  • I think if it was a fake they'd draw more attention to themselves- since that's the most likely motive for doing it. But she doesn't really do that, the only mention of her acting career were her comments supporting the strike.

  • Interestingly, Margot Robbie, the actress for Barbie, is actually a Lemmy user. I randomly found her in a thread talking about the movie industry strikes.

  • So basically, they're not even using it to stop kids from buying games, just as verification when a kid signs up for a service. It's a good thing a kid would never just change their age and say they're 50 or something, and are always completely honest about their ages.

    Also, a large company crying because nobody trusts them not to sell every piece of information they receive brings me joy inside.

  • Lossless is not always immediately better. But webp can be lossless anyway.
