Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies?
(self.nostupidquestions)
spoiler
Well, since I joined I realized, seems like lots of Lemmy users in most Lemmy instances are quite unnecessarily sensitive to revealing get-up. It's like automatic for them. My previous posts from other Communities were downvoted (which simply messes the ranking) especially those I initially didn't NSFW'd, since I, myself thought they were not NSFW.
So with such small data, I compromised to just simply mark them as NSFW for both male and female. Hence such will be invisible to those who disabled NSFW. It's like the word "sexy" nowadays, years ago it was truthfully a fine compliment in comment sections (like in Flickr) when the big social media platforms were not prevalent yet.
Resizing then padding a centered video, maintaining aspect ratio, to a final 720 x 1280, with the same top an bottom colors, say darkgray, is below, which I think I got from Stack Overflow or somewhere (it works).
scale=720:1280:flags=spline:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease:eval=frame,pad=720:1280:-1:-1:eval=frame:color=darkgray
But I would like to have different colors for top and bottom paddings. See the example pic below, which I want. Thanks in advance.

What Did Agatha Do to Her Son, Nicholas Scratch, in the MCU?
Did Agatha trade her son for the Darkhold? A specific scene shows her fear turning into an illusion, and the book replaces her baby, implying a possible deal with a dark force, potentially Mephisto. In the comics, Agatha’s son is Nicholas Scratch, and the MCU leaves his fate open-ended. This scene might lay the foundation for a deeper exploration of Nicholas’ role and potential return.
Is Nicholas Scratch dead or alive in the MCU? Episode 3 suggests he may have died during the exchange for the Darkhold, but some speculate he could still be alive. Given the magical nature of the trade and the MCU’s history of reviving characters, Nicholas might still play a role. His story could be connected to darker forces like Mephisto.
Did Agatha’s son turn into a rabbit or become an Agent of Mephisto? Fans have speculated that Agatha’s pet rabbit, Señor Scratchy, could actually be her son, Nicholas Scratch, transformed by dark magic. This theory is supported by the fact that “Scratch” is a known pseudonym for Nicholas in the comics. The transformation could be the result of Agatha’s deal for the Darkhold, possibly conducted by Mephisto or another powerful entity. Alternatively, Nicholas Scratch may have become an agent of Mephisto, tasked with serving the demon in exchange for power. Both theories draw from comic lore, but the mystery surrounding Señor Scratchy deepens Agatha’s complex character and opens the door for further revelations as the MCU expands its magical universe.

Agatha All Along's Biggest Mysteries Spoiled By Funko Pop Characters
Who Aubrey Plaza Is Really Playing In Agatha All Along
I had my heart set on Aubrey Plaza reprising her role as the Shadow King from Legion, but she's playing a much bigger character in the MCU who was originally left out of Avengers: Infinity War. According to pictures circulating the internet, she's taking on the role of Death. In the comics she was a major factor in Marvel's Infinity War comics, but the Russos opted not to bring her to their adaptation.
Who Joe Locke Is Really Playing In Agatha All Along
CinemaBlend's Nick Venable dropped a few guesses on who Joe Locke is playing in Agatha All Along, and one of them was right on the money. I'm sure many people thought "Teen" was Billy Maximoff, but there was still speculation on whether he'd adopt the Wiccan persona in this miniseries. Based on the Funko Pop reveal, it's looking like he will be doing that, though we can't say that with absolute certainty until we see it on screen.

I used to answer there maybe weekly or at least monthly, and I don't remember any spam activity at all. All posts I remember back there were asking for how to.
So no idea why the Reddit AI got triggered to ban the sub, but back then I noticed Subreddits were indeed banned quite often for whatever reason, with the Spam accusation as the default.
Now, one common issue was performance issue, like the player's response time and lagging. One simple solution to try is:
- View, or Right click
- Renderer Settings
- Reset
- Reset to default/optimal renderer settings
- Shaders also increase CPU usage especially Pre-Resize.
- Repeated editing of Matroska files, like repeated tagging (adding covers, deleting, saving, etc.), may result to slower playback performance of the file. Solution is to simply remux it with MKVToolNix, not FFmpeg.
With slower machines like Pentium 4, the lag or slow response time, and then the player's quicker performance after resetting are noticeable.

Saw it a few days/weeks ago (2024 Oct, so 2 months since this OP). It's an alright film.
Several I personally noticed though:
spoiler
For their first-time appearances as characters, since it's the very first film they were presented, right from the get-go, you'd know who would be the final survivors or who would have the plot armor from the very start, Android Andy and Rain.
The actors themselves, I don't know, from they're first appearances there, you know they're not the same experienced actors of the previous films. It showed, it felt. Hence, the fear and fright a viewer should feel were not the same too. Seemingly, the trailer was a little more scary, honestly. I think such casting resulted to less "scary" than the previous films.
More reliance on the Android again, although not as much as the previous Prometheus and Covenant. The babying was made apparent too. Like unwittingly yet somehow seemingly there's much more, like the way she looked at him at times. And, a fully-functioning whole Android, and not even that supposed "found from the trash" poke was believable. She has such an Android when likely no commoners have one in their lifetime, surely such Android could be utilized for income or something, even plain water buffaloes are utilized for field work, transportation, heavy burden, etc. for centuries in rural even "far from civilization" places. I mean something, somehow that Android could have been utilized, no matter the attempt of the film to portray it as not as very useful or frail, which was not really believable. Andy even had the out-of-the-blue robotic strength to hold open those heavy mechanical doors when no previous film androids were seemingly the same.
Final monster was not, um, not as overwhelming. No resemblance to the iconic Xenomorph aliens at all, hence reducing connection. It's somewhat like Edward Norton's Hulk who had no tiny semblance of his alter ego, hence the believability of the viewer to see him still as Norton's Banner but transformed to the Hulk was thoroughly reduced during his CGI Hulk scenes. Looking back, I think it was not the very suited decision to have it as the final design of the alien monster, since it somehow resulted to closer to a generic monster appearance.
Surprisingly, even though he was just the CGI/AI likeness of the late Ian Holm, Rook still, exhibited that he was the more experienced actor. Can't understand really. Rook was still scary. So kudos to them for capturing/recreating such.
So, not bad, just OK. But still, I can't rank it above the other last films no matter how divisive they were, they had their own charm and appeals.
