  • I noticed a good bit of the comments here are basically saying to try to learn how to wear makeup through tutorials or similar, I just wanted to be a dissenting voice.

    I’m a man though so of course feel free to disregard.

    I absolutely hate the social construct that women have to wear makeup to be beautiful, if you are the kind of person that just likes to do it because you’re passionate, that’s one thing (I don’t understand it but if that’s what makes one happy…), but doing it because it’s the norm and expected I strongly disagree with.

    On 2, my mother similarly “took care of” a lot of the housework for me growing up, so there were a lot of skills I did not posses for a long time, luckily I’ve been with my wife since high school, and she was able to tolerate me while I developed those skills lol.

    3, it feels a bit messed up to say, I love my mom and dad, but I also never felt extremely connected to them, I kind of assume it’s a light autism thing personally.

    4, that’s a matter of personal taste right, though I again worry about what is driving you to that desire, if it’s just because you want to look good for yourself, cool go for it, there’s lots of information on line, but I worry about it being a bit of a toxic situation wherein you might only want to do it because it’s “normal”, it’s fine not to be normal and I wish more people just did what came naturally for them (within reason ofc lmfao). If you don’t enjoy putting on makeup or wearing specific kinds of clothes, that is your choice to make regardless of what society thinks, and there are other people out there who would appreciate that genuine version of you. (I would hope at least, I have mainly gravitated toward my group of friends because we are just our genuine weird selves.

    Obviously again, I’m just a dude and I can’t understand the pressures put on women in our society, I know how toxic masculinity effected me growing up though and I feel like there are some parallels.










  • But to your prior point, DLSS is necessarily AI driven, it just uses the specific sections of the gpu in order to store/transform the image with local data (as far as I understand some “pre trained” info from NVDA for the specific game along with recent prior frames) to help do the upscaling. And dlss5 just takes that even further but still done locally on the device.

    I do see the point that it’s clearly adjusting it to a higher extent then prior dlss versions, however since none of us actually have it in our hands to see, all we can go off of is what is being said/shown. A lot of people are basing their opinions simply off the images from the showcase but NVDA has also mentioned its extremely tunable by the developers directly (and likely by more advanced end users if the devs don’t make those tweaks available in their games) kinda like how UE has a ton of hidden tunable settings that most devs don’t make actively available but are trivial to adjust for end users if they know which file to modify.

    I apologize for my passive aggressive responses, I’ve mostly been unable to have a nuanced discussion about this topic with other lemmy users and I’m kinda just taking it out on you.



  • But you’re combining two things that should be understood separately to have an accurate picture of what is happening.

    All I’ve seen about 5 is people complaining about how it looks, “not the original artistic vision” or just generally mocking it as bad. (Which is a personal opinion not a hard fact)

    Nothing is in a vacuum sure, but let’s take the “personal responsibility” discussion around greenhouse emissions as an example, yes ordinary people and their actions contribute, but the vast vast vast majority is NOT and focusing on the least impactful level is not going to move the needle when the bigger issue is things like private jets, corporations ignoring environmental regulation, etc.
