This is quite toxic attitude. You should focus on what’s good for you - not what’s bad for someone else.

When pictures get compressed, the data is lost. It’s not hidden - it’s gone forever.

When you “increase the quality” with a tool like this, you’re not recovering lost data - you’re making up new data to fill in the gaps. It takes an intelligent system to figure out what should probably be there and then add it convincingly.

I don’t think you can pull that off without AI.

we have to pretend that this is a product we want

ChatGPT alone has 800 million weekly users.

Toupee fallacy to be more exact.

Me neither. I asked an LLM to translate this and it said:

Am I imagining this feeling that Lemmy is just recycling Reddit’s cultural memes in a way that makes them seem less genuine?

10/10 looks and personality and rich parents?

I’ll take her if you don’t.

Depends on how they’re dumb. Your example is just amusing and pretty innocent - that doesn’t bother me at all. What would bug me is if it’s something that’s clearly screwing up their life. Like if they can’t hold down a job or get through basic everyday tasks without constantly fucking it up.

For me, intelligence isn’t about what you know - it’s about how you think. Can she grasp that Vietnam is an actual country once you explain it to her? If yes, then she’s not dumb - she’s just ignorant or uneducated. I can live with that. Especially with a 10/10 personality.

Sometimes the stallion gets kicked in the head, shits himself and dies.

I’m sure you can find the video if you’re interested.

Anything that involves computers or sitting down all day. No thanks.

It’s always the brand new accounts asking the strangest questions.

or if the wearer has facial hair.

Yeah. Here the only solution is to either shave or invest in a PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) that are bulky and priced in the thousands.

They’re quite comfortable to wear compared to a non-powered one but you’ll look like an astronaut walking into a supermarket wearing one.

Makes sense. Doctors and nurses use face masks to protect the patient, not themselves. Respirators then again are used to protect the person wearing it from airborne particles. So in other words: masks do what they’re intented for.

Miss? You won - and now you want to ruin that.

I highly recommend going into settings and hiding downvotes from yourself. Stick to dealing with the people who at least bother to engage in written form.

Downvoting is lazy and adds zero value. It’s pure masochism to let yourself get even a tiny bit annoyed just because some rando on the other side of the world spent 0.5 seconds clicking a down arrow on your comment - which they probably didn’t even read to the end.

I’ve had posts with hundreds of upvotes and one or two downvotes. It’s interesting to contact the downvoters via PM. Not in an accusatory tone but with curiosity.

Nothing about that comments comes across as defending it. Also, pedophilia is not synonymous with sexual abuse.

I don’t pick the faucet models - my customers do. I just install them.

If they were unhappy with the previous one, they’d choose something different next time, but they don’t. To me, that says they see zero issue with it.

I can literally walk into any house around here, and the bathroom faucet will be nearly identical to this one. Kitchen faucets are bigger, and most places have a utility sink too, but this is the standard for bathrooms.

I have installed ones that I think were genuinely bad as well but again - the customer chose it, not me. I’m not going to start talking them out of it.

The brand I recommend them to use does have multiple different designs in their catalog but people rarely buy those but rather prefer the standard one like the one in the picture.

I genuinely don’t see the issue with that. I’ve installed probably around 500 faucets in my career, and not once has a customer ever pushed for a different model just because they don’t want to make physical contact with the sink.

I’d get it if it was so tight it actually got in the way of washing your hands, but that’s not the case here.

I have no trouble with it myself.

I said brand, not model.

My hands fit under it just fine though.
