A tip for (more or less) cleaning up jpeg artifacts:

Selective Gaussian Blur

I wonder, is there and algorithm to check how many times an image was reposted solely based on the artifacts? πŸ€”

Memes should be stored in vector format rather than compressed pixels πŸ™ˆ

But what about photo based memes?

Vectors are funny, aren't they? The whole concept is just 🎢 where did you come from, where did you go? 🎡

They should be stored in hard copy in a safe deposit box on the outskirts of Mumbai.

Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?

It is a metric to judge the age of the meme by.

I was in a Glam/prog rock fusion band called Selective Gaussian Blur. We were positively atrocious.

At least you weren't negatively atrocious. That would be bad.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

We did have SOME standards, after all!

Now that truly is a band name right there
