Is it true that you can talk to women? I've never tried it before and I'm 32. I use Arch GNU+Linux btw. Also I've never been outside.
Yes, but I don't recommend it
Talking to women is no longer considered a best practice.
Recommend upgrading to listening to women.
It's possible, but the feature isn't supported on your OS.
You can probably compile her yourself if you can't find her in the AUR.
Absolutely! In fact if you're on Arch you may have a built in conversation starter by discussing your collection of thigh-highs and seeing where that takes you.
Yeah, it is real easy as well
Just walk up to them and press "X"
I use Arch GNU+Linux btw.
So does FitGirl, tho. And I guarantee she gets laid like crazy.

If I'm remembering right, wasn't this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?
Yep. Found it.
Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case
Edit: oh no
wasn't this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?
The author of the article you linked doesn't seem to believe that.
The creator stated their intent, and the author disagreed. Does that opinion make the creator's statement untrue?
It's a weird situation & definitely a slippery slope. Was it his intent? I honestly can't say. I guess it's certainly a possibility.
I don't think this kind of app is harmful in itself. This kind of thing can & will obviously be used/weapon used by stupid shit-heads for their own agenda, but those kind of people will utilize literally anything that exists to justify their shit-head views.

It's wild that hundreds of years ago, high society women would wake up to put on makeup. They'd literally never be seen without it. Waking up at crack ass morning, wear makeup, then make breakfast.
My wife and I went for a walk and she didn't even wear a bra.
Life is great.
There are plenty of women who live like this now. It's a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.
(Also high society women certainly didn't make their own breakfasts... well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)
And depending on the era, certainly in England, many high society people didn't get out of bed until 11am or midday.
I love when your wife doesn't wear a bra. It does make life great.
We all love this guy's wife
hun, step outside, I need to see if I need to bring a jacket...
i like the idea that high society women would make breakfast, maybe they'd play at it but the actual breakfast would be made by lower class servants.
I'm not sure why this comment is so popular. If you travel, you see many countries on the planet where all women wear makeup all the time.
This doesn't look like a woman without makeup, it looks like a woman with makeup with a filter over her face.
Yep, looks like it was fooled by the fake contour on her right cheek.
I know jack shit about photo editing, but did this person just de-saturate the colors? The eyes and hair look like they are less vivid. Even the background looks different., less dark and more blue?
The real challenge is to use the app on somebody not wearing makeup.
Looks like it’s doing more than that since it seems to remove the mascara and added fullness of the lips from the lipstick
running a picture of myself through the app fifty times instead of getting an MRI
I wonder if eventually it'll rip your skin off, revealing the bones you are hiding under all that fake skin
Please don't roast me here, but why is wanting to know what someone looks like without makeup such a bad thing? I've never even thought about it before, so please don't take this as advocating for it. It just doesn't immediately occur to me what the problem would be.
I get why it's gross to have an app to remove clothing, but makeup feels like a different category.
What about an app that changes or removes hair? Or one for sunglasses/jewelry?
Are they all gross in some way that I'm missing? Is it creepy to remove makeup from photos but not creepy to remove earrings?
On the surface it seems reasonable, but it tends to have misogynistic undertones, especially if said towards strangers.
It's like when the paparazzi publishes photos of celebrities with no makeup without their consent. If her makeup skills are good, she gets accused of "deceiving" people about her real age/looks. If her makeup skills are bad, she just gets called ugly.
It's kind of creepy to do anything to a photo without consent. I'm a dude with plugs, and it'd be a little off-putting if a stranger I didn't know digitally removed my ear rings to see what I'd look like.
This is how I present myself. You can see me without ear rings or makeup when I want you too.
I like that you asked. While I don't hold a strong opinion on it, I think you could argue that it is about consent.
I will argue more strongly than I feel because I think it helps to understand the point. (Assuming the person wearing makeup is a woman)
If you don't know the woman, why do you care if she wears makeup and how she looks without? It seems like there isn't a legitimate reason for it without it being a toxic reason, like "look! she isn't prettier than me!" Vibe. Which is toxic for both people. Now it was a man who made the app. Now there is the hating of women for wearing makeup reasons but let's ignore those. (Case: Unknown feelings of the woman)
If you know the woman and you don't know how she looks without makeup, then that is clearly a decision made by the woman. Why do you have the right to expose her in a way that she doesn't want to be. I mean some women don't care if you see their tummies and others would rather die. Should you have the right to expose a woman's tummy? (Case: Implied decision to not show herself like that)
If you know the woman and you want to argue that you have a justified interest in how she looks without makeup because she is a potential Partner (if she is a partner, you probably know already anyway). You could easily argue that you have the same legitimate reason to see her naked but obviously you wouldn't think that it is a legitimate reason.
In other words, you shouldn't care and it is kinda toxic to care; you don't have consent to see them like it otherwise you would; you have no right to know.
I don’t know. I’ve seen a few examples of women who have radically changed their looks via skillful application of cosmetics.
I don’t know what to do with that. On one hand, society expects them to use available techniques to change their appearance to meet standards of beauty very few can ever accomplish. Otoh, it’s dishonest because irl they’re not who they seem to be, so an app that shows them without makeup might be useful. But the catch-22 is that the app may not be right, or that we judge too harshly based on an unattainable standard.
Man, Beauty is fucked up in the West. CGI, photoshop, photo manipulation have destroyed reality in favor of manipulating what desirability is.

Snapchat’s offered that for years, though generally you get consent since you’ll point the selfie camera at yourself and a friend.
Hmm:
-> thinking about somebody naked
Widely accepted if you don’t talk about it
-> Photoshopping somebody naked
Widely despised (w/o consent). Maybe it’s too linked to the release at some point of the images. but I have a feeling even if no one ever posted that stuff, we would still feel icky about it.
Interesting, something is icky but I don’t know why
It's not like we wear makeup as some devious plot to trick men and hide our real faces instead of you know, to look good for ourselves. Besides, I don't think I look that different without makeup, sometimes people just ask if I didn't sleep well last night if I don't.
Anyway, if people really cared that much to see their favorite actress (me) without makeup, would you be interested in getting a copy of "Barbie", now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?
(and there's "The Wolf of Wall Street" for the naked part.)
Thanks, Margot Robbie. You are a pillor of Lemmy society!
You're welcome, Agent641.
Also, that's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
I might be the minority group here, but I prefer my wife without makeup. After our second date I told her I'd rather see her face as it is, than it be hidden under a mask. Everyone has flaws, it's what makes us unique and there is beauty in that alone. She hasn't worn makeup since and were pushing 2 decades of marriage now.
I don't think I look that different without makeup, sometimes people just ask if I didn't sleep well last night if I don't.
For the vast majority of women, that's probably true, but you only need to look up makeup tutorials on YouTube to see that some women take it to a whole other level where they end up looking almost unrecognizable by the time they're done.
sometimes people just ask if I didn't sleep well last night if I don't.
I've heard this is a thing.
I'm a dude, I never sleep well. Anytime I look in the mirror, I can certainly tell that I didn't sleep well, but I'm almost never asked about it.
I went for a sleep study earlier this year, I'm meeting with a doctor to discuss the findings in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can get better sleep soon.....
Even with that being said, it would be nice if someone cared enough to ask about it. At the same time, I can also see that getting asked that question a bunch, regardless of how well you slept, would be pretty annoying.
IDK. Everyone asks what I'm doing, never how I'm doing. It's fine. I survive.
The self promotion on obscure forums for a handful of up votes and assumption that you are people's favourite actress makes this account look more like someone pretending to be Margot Robbie, rather than it being genuine.
Incel/redpill nonsense right here.
I hate how they have taken that redpill term to make it all uncool instead of how cool it used to be in the Matrix.
Indeed, which is why I'm laughing
Just echoing the ridicule
redpill?
“Red pill” is a matrix reference (take the blue pill and go back to your normal life or take the red pill and “see how deep the rabbit hole goes”) high jacked by sexist dudes who see “taking the red pill” as waking up to (perceived) social injustice against men. They show up in threads claiming women routinely lie about being assaulted and hide behind male victims (which exist and need to be heard) as they deny that women can be victims. They get mad when a woman is in Star Wars. They are the kind of people constantly saying “me too went gone too far” and end up pushing crap like Gamer Gate. They are also generally very right wing/overlap with “men’s rights activists.”
As an older guy: It's the same picture.
Older guy here. I have noticed that now when I look a beautiful young women I feel envy rather than lust. My thoughts go to wishing I was young again rather than wishing I could "tap dat ass" or whatever. Realizing that made kinda sad, NGL.
Patrice O'Neal has a good bit on this:
Older guy here too and I feel the same way. My daughter asked me not long ago about guys with cheerleader and schoolgirl fetishes and if it was pedophilia and I said no, but I certainly do not understand why someone my age would be into that.
I developed methods which can tell you what women think too. It's called Talking2M. It's fun, mostly 3d, open world scenarios, sometimes multiple choice answers ...
More details to come soontm with version 1,1b. Btw: Get a life!
The sad thing is that's basically what people like Andrew Tate get notorious for- A man telling other men what women think.
I've never heard of a major female influencer telling lonely incel types how to get a girlfriend. But then I suppose she would be telling them to do things like "listen to what she's saying" and "care about her problems" and that's not what they want to hear.
I think I may have tested a Beta version because I get responses like:
What is this life you keep talking about?
Real LifeTM is a Role-Playing Multiplayer Game with the best graphics resolution in the Industry.
Sadly, it suffers from severe game play balance problems, most notably that most of game play time is spent in boring tasks which should've been simplified into just the core gameplay element for a better gaming experience, plus it's heavy reliance on grinding, to the point that most players literally have to spend at least 8h per day in the game grinding merelly to not lose the game.
And don't get me started on it's Pay To Play elements.
My wife almost never wears makeup. Basically only for things like job interviews.
And I don't like how she looks in makeup, so I'm fine with that.
Same, I'm really grateful she has no interest/desire to wear makeup. It was also nice to know what her face looked like from day 1, which is what this app is meant to facilitate.
The more I think about it, the stranger the notion of 'gatekeeping her real face' behind a full-on relationship sounds to me, lol.
P.S. lol, I just remembered reading an old 'hack' for this years and years ago: make a water park your first outing together.
Classic app developer: Creates a problem for a solution.
the app isn't for men in relationships...
the eye color change is suggesting women wear eyeball makeup?
Also: I'd love to run Donald Trump through this
I only wear a tiny bit of eyeliner, so checkmate men, what you get is what you see.
☠️🌙
And most men thank you for that and wish all women were like that.
Man, who would've thought they look like they don't have make-up on when they dom't have make-up on.
It's fucking terrible.
Comparison is the antithesis of happiness. People need to learn this early.
They have shown easy mode, now try it on Dame Edna or Mimi Bobeck.
Could you quantify "sometimes"? Asking for my wife
Anniversaries, birthdays, and Christmas
No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?
The skin looks less "flat"/"clean" the face is more pale, the dark rings under the eyes are more noticeable, the lips are less red and the eyebrows are weaker.
However this is going to be extremely flawed, as it has to make assumptions about which parts of the face are made up and which aren't, probably exaggerating what it has to "correct" for. Also i wouldn't be surprised if this will struggle immensely with non white faces.
The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges and there is more shadow around the eyes.
it's like they just selected lips and cheeks and slid the "Reds" slider down
"sometimes"...

I only date women that don't wear makeup everyday day.
I only date women who do exactly what they want to do and not what society says they should do. As it happens, they generally don't wear makeup every day.
That's a fair assessment. I think I was just saying I didn't really consciously choose that. Just the women I'm attracted to don't wear makeup.
don't real men have a chart of the holistic 29 day cycle in order to offer a bath and pleasant smells in lieu of the "gift" of giving birth?
good fucking "god"
peoples is peoples. some have the burden of procreation. treat them nice.

the line between yapping and blabbering is very blurred here
Wow, an hour and i seem to be controversial....hehehehehhehehe
