So I'm gonna continue working on this either way because I'll use it, but is there any interest in a VFX editor where you edit a single frame of a video and then it uses a no-AI style transfer (https://github.com/jamriska/ebsynth) to change the nearby frames in the same way, automatically editing frame by frame until you see one you want to edit more by hand? And then when you're done it puts the video back together with the new frames and original audio. #vfx#videoEditing
So far the flaw I've come across in this workflow is that when I edit one frame with something transparent, e.g. changing the color of my shirt with a subtract modifier so it still has photorealistic shadows, features that are supposed to be seen through it are still visible. I plan to fix this by creating transparent overlays instead of edited images, and only actually combining them with the original frame as the second to last step (just before reassembling the video). Opaque will still work.
It may also be too tedious because the style transfer usually has some flaws that have to be touched up by hand after the first one or two. I still think it'll save some time, especially if I turn this "3-4 commands and a photo editor" approach into a cohesive GUI app where I can do all of the steps, most with the click of a button. Either way, it's good enough for me until I can afford/access something better (the type of editing I want is probably possible in Blender but idek where to start)
LB thinking about how I almost failed my classes in the fall because I got a letter from my ex and just lost the ability to function for a couple weeks... A letter. It wasn't even a threatening letter, it was an apology letter, and it wasn't even sent to my current address. But it was a big enough trigger to make me completely unable to participate in capitalism for a bit
Leaving a review (/j) for the baby gate complaining about the bold assumption they made that our house has studs accessible within an inch and isn't old former military housing that's just been repeatedly painted over instead of fixing anything for like half a century or whatever
I do like that the fat guy in Dungeon Meshi is the most sexualized character (and not in a fetishy way). We frequently get to see Senshi, who looks like me if I'd had consistent access to T since I started, portrayed like your average female superhero and I am here for it
Dear thin people giving me looks at the gym: are you sad you can't lift what I carry around all day? Don't worry, you'll get there! Have you tried eating more?
Remember that part of freeing Palestine is fostering safety for Jewish people outside of Israel. There's a reason so many were able to be convinced to move there, and it's not that they're all genocidal. If you claim to care about the genocide going on right now against Palestinians but are also being anti-Semitic (and I'm not using that as a synonym for anti-Zionist) towards your Jewish neighbors and powering the same machine that created Israel in the first place, I don't think I believe you.
LB anti-maskers at the beginning of the pandemic: bodily autonomy!!! You can't tell me what to do! Everyone should have free choice over what we put on our faces!
Anti-maskers now, when most immunocompromised people have given up on trying to get others not to kill us and simply avoid people and wear masks if we have to go out in public: no not like that
Like, I can understand the appeal to bodily autonomy re: not wearing face masks. I don't like it, and people refusing to wear masks in high-risk situations are being careless with other people's lives, but I at least can understand it.
But trying to make it illegal for immunocompromised people to protect ourselves in a way that harms no one? Stripping away our bodily autonomy by not letting us decide what goes on our own faces? Quite literally mask off in their ableism/eugenics
