A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

NGL, GIMP may be something people should learn to use. If we’re talking sketchy as hell third party outifts that are inevitably going to sell your personal info, why give them anything real?

Do you mean like altering your biometric signature with imagine manipulation software? Don't a lot of these verification services require a live camera?

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dunno about that. Nothing is stopping one from boning up on some transformational makeup.

You of course don't have to go the celebrity look-alike route, but looking like somebody else that's not you, could work. The way the biometric mapping works is by measuring the features and highlights and shadows on a face to measure it.

Change the shadows and highlights and the width of the mouth and it can be stymied.

Seen someone tricked it with a face drawn onto a thumb. It assumed they were under the age of 15.

I'm sure they'll never get past detectingthe easiest hacks now that there is a giant financial incentive.
