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

Selective Gaussian Blur

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 56 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Internet historians love em!

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

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 months ago

Now that truly is a band name right there

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

We did have SOME standards, after all!

Memes should be stored in vector format rather than compressed pixels 🙈

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

But what about photo based memes?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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

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

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