I read it as ‘bastards’ twice (skim, then slightly slower skim) before going back to really look at it as it felt off. If it worked better as a portmanteau it would make a lot of sense in this context but it’s too garbled to look intentional.

I was in a hurry. I didn’t catch the misspelling until it was too late.

Gotcha. I would suggest spending more time crafting your message if it’s as important to you as it seems. Half assed execution gets half assed engagement. Like first write your copy in a word doc and don’t use your first draft. The image manipulation in gimp is actually not bad at all. When I say ‘format’ I mean the like weird ordered list with letter headings giving vaguely relevant protestor advice. Like, I get what you’re trying to say but the errors and lack of an impactful structure to your words make the whole think seem kind of naive and not altogether useful to actual protest goers.

Eg: the authorities don’t ’get You’re furious’. They see and recognize it as aggression and that’s it. There is no understanding, no empathy, no reason. There is only the boot they intend to put on your neck.

I did however forget where I was on lemmy so don’t really worry about it as 1(10-1)6 is not really the place for complex sociopolitical discussions on the escalation to violence in peaceful protests by authoritarian state actors so fuckin blast that gimp practice all over the place young blood.

And yet no self-awareness from them about how AI is getting more and more indistinguishable from actual images and what we need to contend with is not how easy they are to spot.

Do image AIs correct your input?

If it’s not, that would be even worse.
