That is actually nice, is there a link to this that can be printed and posted?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

This isn't the original, but I took the photo and cleaned it up a bit:

Here is my cleanup attempt. I tried to make it work if printed centered on A4 paper,

Imgur link for insurance

Edit:

Just found the original png[1] so here is a version with more detail

And if you could please just go ahead and change that to "the anarcats" that'd be great... Thank you.

Alright, the world, takes this and run with it...

Or anarchats, chat meaning cat in French (but pronounced "sha").

Thanks for doing this its fantastic 🤩

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Hey, no problem. I was just procrastinating doing actual work ><

I also just found the original cat png so I added it here. Its a bit more detailed and would probably print nicer.

Your link is broken BTW because the last parenthetical is included in it for some reason

And to save people a click: it links back to this same image

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this not a link that can be printed and posted? I put a space to disinclude the close parenthesis. It opens fine in Firefox. Hmm. Not sure what to change?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

They were asking for the image that the picture is of, not the picture itself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't find one, someone else might have better luck.

which AR vendor will 'let' us replace advertising in our lives with photos from our camera roll: Apple? Meta? Amazon? Google? Microsoft? or off-brand garbage?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fact you think "off brand" is garbage is painful. And telling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

thats been my experience with trying Temu and Wish and Alibaba and Amazon/Walmart off-brand stuff. what experience are you itching to share?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know about Wal-Mart, but every other site you listed is famous for being filled with Chinese companies that make cheap knockoff garbage. Yes, even Amazon. It's like the perfect blend of enshitification and consumerism.

I don't know about the tech companies, but with clothing companies you'll see the exact same companies with names like asdfghjkl on both Amazon and Temu, selling the exact same product with the exact same pictures as 3 other similarly named companies. And what you buy will only last slightly longer than the 6 months the company is around for before it disappears and the owners open back up under a new name.

For tech, you gotta do research and see what the experts are saying and find out the reputation of the brands that you're looking at. Unfortunately, it isn't as easy as just going on the website and checking the reviews.

As for your original question, I think the answer will be FOSS projects. No company is going to willingly drop the potential ad revenue of AR ads. "This dream brought to you by Underwear brand briefs!"

As an aside, Walmart has a bunch of that garbage available for shipping by third parties through their site.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The main brand would replace the ads with.... Their own ads...

They may even put up green screens as ads which displays "personalised" for You™ ads

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I feel dirty saying it, but Walmart store brand Oreos are really good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I'm sure they'd just replace it with their advertising instead

See the cat

No matter how much I see that word used with its correct meaning, I can't help but think of the Klingon moon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for doing this one, brilliant! 😁

You found a cat that’s a libertarian, eh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

how can you tell? is it asking to lower the age of consent?
