  • 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!

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    Maybe that’s outdated now since they can just throw up IR cameras: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

  • The politicians may want the win for selfish reasons. You just want the best representatives for yourself, your loved ones, and your country.

    This hypothetical allows you to weigh a party taking the moral high ground against representatives the average Lemming does not want making four years of policy decisions being in a position to do so.

    You can give the party you want to win a spine, but it comes at a cost.

  • 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

  • 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
