Slightly off-topic: Refreshing to see these two authors link to their Bluesky and Mastodon profiles. No Twitter/X in sight!

New comment by tethys in "(Social) media manipulation in one image"

tethys — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:38:53 +0000

When I meet my friends and tell them about my last vacation instead of my work, how I slept, and how often I brush my teeth, is that also “manipulation”?

It works with prepaid credits, so there should be no risk. Minimum credit amount is $10, though.

In addition, I can wholeheartedly recommend this video tutorial that guided me through setting up Coolify for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taJlPG82Ucw

Been running this setup for about a year now, and it's the first time I am actually self-hosting and feeling fairly confident about it.

As for why they are closing:

> Fixed costs and a lack of financial support are forcing us to take this step. In addition, the general cultural situation in Berlin is very precarious. It was a very difficult decision for us.

I don't understand this trend of translating UI elements when 100% of the content is English. Who does that help?

I am not so sure. It currently highlights a story from Munich, and in addition to a few factual errors, the information is simply outdated; there have been numerous new relevant developments. (I also don't understand the selection of sources. Aljazeera? rt.com? South China Morning Post? As if there weren't enough sources of original reporting right from Germany.)

I would agree that a single daily news update is useful (and healthy), but this must also be reflected in the choice of topics and the type of reporting.

Fair point! My eyes are (mostly) fine, but even I would have a hard time telling these colors apart when used in the same chart.

I usually do very simple charts, using maybe 2 or 3 colors, and with this palette I feel the results are typically very pleasing, whichever colors I end up selecting.

Whenever I need colors for a chart, I type "12 bit" in my address bar and pray my browser hasn't forgotten the URL: https://iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbow/

No. You have to turn your head, and stuff. Also, even if this would work, they allow only one verification per person per 90 days.

I've generated (and downloaded) a couple of images. All filenames start with `DALL·E`, so I guess that's a safe way to tell how the images were generated.
