#asklemmy

-A year ago, I released a demo of a Fnf mod based on the game Onmyoji (I haven’t played it, but I like it enough). I’ve never had any followers on any social media platform despite drawing for years, so I don’t have an audience to show my projects to, and I feel like all the work isn’t worth it if no one appreciates it. I want to do it for the love of it and finish it for enjoyment and fun, but at the same time, it’s discouraging to know that no one is interested, and not even the Fnf community has cared because it’s not about something well-known or super elaborate. I don’t want pity, but I’m open to advice other than “Just do it because you enjoy it”. I feel discouraged.

I think it is possible to embed invisible information into videos and images. This way peopple could track where you got an image from, the source from which you copied it, and people who copy your image to share it again. github.com/ShieldMnt/invisible-watermark

Services like youtube or twitter could embed such watermarks into content they serve to specific users without them knowing; Smartphone-cameras could mark images in secret.

I guess blurring, rotating or dithering the image could destroy watermarks. Or maybe just sharing a screenshot of an image instead of the original image. Format conversions may help too.

Keywords: digital-watermarking. tracking.

What is the difference between the two sentences, and which do you prefer?

I promote my new lemmy community

I advertise for my new lemmy community

I don’t expect many responses as this is a niche topic, but I would still like to get some answers. :-)

For example, EinkBro seems to be a good choice.

Hi! I’m keeping a close eye on the Epstein Files drops and I’m looking for a left-wing channel that examines the files deeply. I know HasanAbi did a video, as well as The Serf Times. Are there any other channels that did a deep dive on the files?

Double Cheeseburgers @ McDonalds

Get 2 with extra patty on each and combine them minus 2 buns

Someone calls and says, “Grandma, i’ve been in an accident …” and so on. Why don’t people ask a few questions? If you’re my grand daughter, what’s my name, when is my birthday, where do I live, what’s my favorite food?

Every year, my partner of a decade and I have Christmas with her family. My family is Jewish and we also spend at least one night of Hanukkah with them. For all gatherings (including birthdays) the gifts are almost exclusively chosen and purchased by the one who is more directly related to the recipient. It always feels a little weird to me that their family gets me gifts, but they never receive anything exclusively from myself, it’s just very vaguely implied that the gifts are from us as a couple. To be fair, their parents give gifts as a couple (always from their mom). Also, I would never ask my partner to purchase gifts for my family in addition to theirs, they’re already stressed enough by finding something for their own family. I’ve never brought this up with my partner as I don’t want to make them feel either obligated to or guilty about implicitly declaring that they don’t want to.

When I first new about lemmy, lemm.ee was among the biggest and I created an account on it but didn’t use it much and didn’t knew that the instance was deleted until recently. So help me understand where content is stored:

Got it — here’s a shorter, more casual version that still asks the important things:

When a post is created, is it only stored on the original instance, or copied to every other one?

Do all federated servers get a copy, or get posts from other server when user demands them?

When an instance shuts down, is its content gone forever, or do other instances keep copies?

If the original server is gone, what happens to edits or deletions?

Is there any kind of “shared” storage in the Fediverse, or network that store everything?

Could one still access all lemm.ee content now? Or post in it’s communities?

Kinda interested in community square internet type stuff like there was this online command line i was using before I was able to install yt-dlp and people just randomly uploaded the randomest stuff. It was like a town square but for internet/files and trends

Any communities or websites that list them?

like be able to download the mp3 without being locked to a app.

Housing:

Say you have 2 homes (both are villas) (one is a normal home and the other is a vacation home (like a beach home probably)

Status/power: (tho within your own country so for my case that would be egypt)

Major general plus a tin factory business that even exports abroad from egypt if I’m not wrong

And say your distant family owns a resort too

So is that rich/upper class within egypt?

Also being able to go to 5 star resorts in egypt

(would this be rich)?

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any AOC alternatives which provides a file/input on which we have to apply an algorithm.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I watch this creator that’s kinda harsh on jewish people. He’s used the term “Goy” before. He supports palestine afaik, but I think he could be a little antisemitic, maybe I’m wrong, I’m hoping I’m wrong. I’m not gonna say who this creator is because I don’t want to bring disrespect upon him. In one of the videos he made, he’s watching a channel called Due Dissidence, which, again, afaik, they are left-wing/left-leaning. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions. I’m anti-zionist, but I don’t hate jewish people. I guess my actual question is, is it antisemitic to call jewish or non-jewish people “Goy”? He’s said this in the context where the person is bending the knee to israel and obeying israel.

For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

This happens in a hospital’s ICU.

The patient’s daughter, a woman from the middle east in her thirties and very limited English, after seeing her father in a bed, intubated, with several syringe pumps, a pacer, several monitoring sensors and more stuff, started yelling a long, continued aaaaaahhh…, took her phone, called somebody, started yelling at the phone in her mother tongue, left the room, left the ICU but immediately after started banging the door to be let in again, she yelled to the phone again, the woman at the end of the line started yelling as well, so that’s 2 women yelling, equally stressed. 2 family members who happened to be there started banging the door as well, a nurse approached the door, let them in, telling them in a stern voice and not looking friendly not to yell, which, to my surprise, worked a bit: the daughter kept yelling, but not so loud as before, the other 2 women didn’t yell, they all followed the nurse into the room.

I froze. This has never happened to me. I thought about hugging the daughter but being a man and not speaking an ounce of Arabic I didn’t know if she would think I was trying to assault her. I don’t know how people from the middle east, presumably Muslims, react to this.

If you ever experienced something like this, what did you do?

ETA: I wrote yelling and not wailing, because to me it wasn’t wailing: Wailing is recognized automatically, it makes you cry, this wasn’t like that, wailing cannot be faked. I was born in a household where appearances were highly valued. One family tradition where I was born is to fake cry during funerals: you’re supposed to show how sad you are by faking to sob and cry, but to anyone smart enough it’s clear that’s fake. My grandfather never loved my grandmother and when she died after 50 years of unhappy marriage, he did exactly that during the funeral.

What this woman did felt like that.

It doesn’t have to be a child-eating commie red place (/s), just somewhere where I can express my dissatisfaction with Europe/Nato/west without being banned. And no, unfortunately kolektiva is not one of them.

I am going to be a father and am making a jellyfin setup for my child. I want to start early to make a good collection of movies and shows. So I am interested in knowing what other people experienced as positive influences in their lives.

Edit: English and Norwegian is fine, but I can always get dubbed versions of other languages. We will be speaking English and Norwegian with our child from birth. But want to introduce our child to many types of cultures, religions etc.
