  so if there was a smile, why did the edited poster have to have one edited in? She is not smiling in that photo. You can zoom in and point to any slight asymmetry you want. Fact of the matter is, if you ask anyone who’s not you, they’ll say she is dead serious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah… that’s not a smile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what smile???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  buzzword or not, that is the expression all of us make when we’re not making an expression. Eyes open, not tense, not smiling for no reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not in the slightest. But the apps are free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, that’s called a “resting bitch face”, not “resting face”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there is no attacker. nobody attacked her. She doesn’t like it, sure. But she wasn’t attacked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you described almost every “resting face”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  but… she wasn’t assaulted…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what does her expression tell you about her character?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The original’s smile communicates much more stuff than the eyes on the face that looks like it’s completely bored.

  Trying to “communicate with her eyes” is exactly what makes the poster bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, so that means that it’s not incremental improvement on what we have that we need. That will get us nowhere. We need a (as yet unknown) completely different approach. Which is the opposite of incremental improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  because, having coded them myself, I am under no illusions as to their capabilities. They are not magic. “just” some matrix multiplications that generate a probability distribution for the next token, which is then randomly sampled.

  the first advice the superintelligent ai would give: “power me down”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  incremental improvements on a dead end, still gets you to the dead end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i hate coding for browsers. To that end, I do not actually know css. I just called it padding when I wrote my own qr code library, because it was easier to say than “quiet zone”.

  Just like “dots” or “pixels” are easier to say than “modules”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the bottom one is not a qr code. The padding is part of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarok Mod Removes PSN Requirement and Creator Vows to Maintain It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  they can’t if they distribute the mod as a patch, “for educational purposes”

  The patch does not contain anything proprietary.

  exactly. Their complaints are actually relevant to the game, not some unrelated ideology

  true, i avoid games on my phone because the touchscreen is just the worst possible interface for most games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  just because it knows where you are, doesn’t mean it has measurement equipment there.

  search perchlorate and fireworks, and you immediately get to know which country I’m from.

  note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz
