I have no actual clue, btw., but I feel like nobody can convince me these kinds of dashboards and stats don't exist, tho. 🥹

Think about it - not only do they have your personal data (f.e. payment info), they also have all or a lot of your browsing history, location history, accounts, emails, photos, files, documents, people you meet/see, etc.

You can infer and predict so much if you have enough data.

Ad networks like Google *must* have an admin console that allows you to see all information of a single user, which is probably almost *everything* there is to know about you.

I would love to see that, but I also think that afterwards, I'd probably start living in the woods.

This ^ image is the second try, I ruined the separation the first time.

I didn't do the rest again, but SwiftScan's algorithm did introduce artifacts, which then probably got even worse with the upscaling & post processing : D

Anyway, yeah, I'd love to see the finished version! : D

It is perspective correction + the algorithm SwiftScan on iOS uses that is made for making photographed images look like they are scanned, upscaled + post-processed it (highlights/shadow/brightness).

This is the image before the upscaling & post process:

Good job!!

I've had URGENT ISSUES where I've needed a simple information to complete it being left unanswered for 4 weeks.

Curiously, the urgency also magically disappears if you tell them your "it's urgent, but it's also the weekend" rate.

Unless you're paid to care, go enjoy the weekend! ❤️

Note: Because of the nature of trying to correct the perspective & lightning with a "one size fits all solution" (i.e. algorithms meant to fix this applied the same over the whole image), the colors may be off here or there. I tried my best but it's probably not 100% like OP intended.

1. This is crazy good!
2. I don't know if you appreciate this or not - either way, I wanted to appreciate this straight & in high resolution so I pushed some pixels around...

I don't know what else you'd want to add to this, but I'd love to see this completed! Great work!

Re kids: He says "Unless there's a very good reason not to". By your post I think it is fair to say that "I don't want to" is implied or at least interpreted as not good enough.

But that is the most important reason, otherwise you exclude women's autonomy and free will... 🥹

Ooh, got it! I would like to apologize for what I said then, that was wrong for me to say - he's already suffering enough being a lib. 🥹

Mean jokes aside, I'd even agree with the thing about passion - if everyone had the option to even consider "architecting their passion"...

(just to be clear, that's not just because he is not conventionally attractive!

I assume the rest of his opinions are what you'd expect - 0/♾️ times this isn't followed by "because the woke trans immigrants..."

... in that case, it's for his character AND his appearance)
