Everybody wear masks like Hong Kong did
I hate Nazis
And even if democracy doesn’t fall the democrats will continue all of this unconstitutional mass surveillance and continue to allow right wing extremist to do whatever they want
Right, because it’s the Democrats doing this. Fuck off Russian bot
It’s just facts https://youtu.be/aBJeBu0lBKQ
That’s why we need a truly progressive party, not democrats bought out by AIPAC
We were warned about the surveillance state over 25 years ago
And over 75 years ago.
It’s not that frightening. You can get the app yourself: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pantone-connect/id1491023737
So … back to face masks?
Facemasks don’t work very well. Makeup is a far better tool.

And an example –
Here’s an updated article from 2025 that works by using makeup in a subtle fashion.

Facemasks work great. There’s a reason the gestapo are using them.
People like the makeup because it looks like a cool cyberpunk future, but the moment a pipeline is designed to compensate for made up faces it will fail. Simple image processing can replace makeup hues and yield a roughly true color unobscured face.
Actually its been proven that some face paint in these patterns fools AI from recognizing a face
That’s not what the problem is. It only fools systems that just feed the image straight into a race recognition model without trying to correct for it. You don’t need to even retrain the model, just use basic image processing to color swap the tattoo before the model even gets it. The tattoos are easy to isolate computationally.
And people wonder why I don’t go outside
