Alternate headline: 3/10 Americans are living in fantasy land.
This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.
Buying politicians is super duper legal now, thanks to conservatives both past and present. May the super wealthy among us rejoice as the huddle masses work feverishly for their masters. The conservatives have done their part and restored the autocrats to their former power.
I’m really sorry that whoever tried to educate you failed so miserably.
Facebook never tried in the first place. They just put up a facade that they’ve let fall down.
So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.
You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.
Your “friend’s” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.
Maybe just write the academic works yourself, then they should pass.
I don’t have any problem with an open source tool using a proprietary language or build tool, but I certainly would never contribute to it.
Yes. I think the question was should it be labeled as “photoshopped” (or probably “manipulated”). I don’t think it should. I think those labels would be meaningless if you can’t event change the aspect ratio of a photo without it being called “photoshopped”.
When I started reading this headline, I thought it was gonna be some crazy religious sect that had gotten the state to ban dental floss.
Made them more valuable.
I literally described to you what people mean by “photoshopping” in the comment you’re responding to. Can you really not tell that I know that? Also, dropping the r slur will definitely help get your point across, right? You’re really living up to your username.
There are absolutely different levels of image editing. Color correction, cropping, scale, and rotation are basic enough that I would say they don’t even count as alterations. They’re just correcting what the camera didn’t, and often available in the camera’s built in software. (Fun fact, what the sensor sees is not what it presents you in a jpeg.) Then there are more deceptive levels of editing, like removing or adding objects, altering someone’s appearance, swapping faces from different shots. Those are definitely image alterations, and what most people mean when they say an image is “photoshopped” (and you know that, don’t lie). Then there’s AI, where you’re just generating new information to put into the image. That’s extreme image alteration.
These all can be done with or without any sort of nefarious intent.
You don’t have to open photoshop to do it. Any basic editing software will include a cropping tool.
The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)
