I don't want to be alarmist, but google lens is good enough that it can help dox you. all it takes is for a building in the background of a photo to have been listed on zillow, then google lens might be able to find it given that section of the pic

@SuricrasiaOnline kind of reminds me of how some researchers found the top domains a machine learning image generator thing was trained on, and one of the top ones was pinimg.com (Pinterest's CDN URL). i think at this point every image that's ever been on the internet has probably been scraped for pinterest.

@SuricrasiaOnline cloud patterns are very unique
if the sky is visible you can correctly determine time and location of filming.

Ears are like fingerprints. They too are very easy to automatically detect.
Gait and clothing is also very popular for automatic control of citizens.

We in germany are on a slipperly slope. Many politicians want more police force even though crime rate has been going down for a half a century

@SuricrasiaOnline you can also use the base64 command with the -d flag like so:

echo SSBsb3N0IHRoZSBnYW1lCg== | base64 -d

@SuricrasiaOnline gchq.github.io/CyberChef/ is also worth a bookmark in case you need to do anything further with it, despite the tool's origins.

they say humans cannot create truly random bit sequences, however if you ask them if they want a recipt at the grocery store suddenly they're passing TestU01 with flying colours

the concept of trans people is at least 120 years old, and that's being very conservative. the first of the nazi book burnings in 1933 were a large library of writings on trans and intersex people. fascism has tried to destroy us from the start

I couldn't sleep so I finally made this "Right-Click Borescope" idea I've had in my head for a while. Lets you right click on a spot on a webpage and get a list of all images at that point

I did some VR development stuff for work this weekend and I'm sorry to say I found it underwhelming in terms of immersion

I think I'm a little brainfucked since I've spent 90% of my waking life looking at computer screens so being in a physical space doesn't read as "real" to me

I just don't understand why someone would want to exclusively own a work of art
like I get prints and exclusive downloads but, exclusive ownership is an alien concept

@SuricrasiaOnline think about it as an investment property like real estate. it's gross, but that's how they think about it! a place to hoard their money with certain rights conferred. it's not really about the art. when it *is* about the art, it's about social status. "I have this thing that someone else can't have." but ultimately that is the same reason real estate is real estate -- exclusive ownership, coming down to money and power
