It's not about completely preventing infection, you can still get infected. It's about minimizing the odds of infection and lowering severity when infected, to mitigate transmission as much as possible. It's more about society as a collective and less about the individual. You can ride it out, sure. But if you pass it along to someone who can't, then what?

Very neat, I wonder how effective they are at confusing facial recognition and 3D facial scanning systems? Not that we often encounter the 3D scanning, but an interesting aspect to consider.

Curious to know more about how you host your own models? Does it require high end hardware?

I'm completely uneducated in this field, but there's a 2 min video attached to that page that demonstrates before and after. Sure sounded better to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never heard of this before, and it sounds interesting after a cursory search online. Why the downvotes?

duckduckgo does that with @duck.com email addresses too, I've liked using them so far

I keep seeing this, and yes, it's running the image of the Linux community. Even for me who's part of it.

"Help, Windows problem."

"Linux is the answer."

"But I want to use Windows."

"Then you're a stupid ingrate who's below me and deserve nothing good in your life."

Do you hear yourselves? I'm exaggerating, but come on guys. You're better than this, good grief.

Listen I'm all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I'm starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being "Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it's a 1:1 workflow." (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.

You're not wrong. They're still stuck in the "abusive relationship" with MS. In fact you're absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It's coming from a good place, but it's honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user's use case and their parameters, or else it doesn't matter. In the end what you're saying is not wrong at all, but you're still not offering the right solution.

These are the most comprehensive lists of resources I've ever seen, thank you!

I've thought about using them like that as someone without access to privacy.com, but they do charge an activation fee and other random little fees I didn't want to deal with. So I just... didn't buy whatever it was I was considering at the time lol. Always keeping an eye open to see if there are any alternatives though.
