@dansup Is this 100% offline filters or is this using a server somewhere?

@dansup @kdekooter i actually did a test of ultra lowband video conferencing with simple face replacement but the resulting video file was so well optimized it hit the "minimum file size limit" in loops so i couldnt paste it

@Dequei great question, this is in fact 100% offline and uses system (Metal on iOS) APIs to handle real time preview and rendering.

@dansup Is this more important than the new UI?

@sturmsucht This is the last remaining milestone for the Loops grant that expires on March 1st, so I'd say yes.

@dansup thanks for the transparency

@dansup Would be awesome if there was a way to make the AR filters modular, there could be a plugin ecosystem for devs to make their own filters for Loops!

@baralheia Yes, that is my plan!

@dansup Brilliant use of programmers' time. The really important stuff.

@Cenbe @dansup well, it is.
As a part of the NLnet foundation grant for Loops, work on AR filters is a milestone to be reached by March (I think it's March). So I'd say that's pretty important.And it's just a fun feature. Fun features that users will like are definitely a good use of the developers time (even apart from being required by the grant), wouldn't you say?

@dansup Uninformed people all over the world may like to vote for fascists. Should we do it anyway?
Yes, it's a bad comparison. But in my opinion, it illustrates well why you shouldn't do everything that people like.

@kdekooter@moralapostel @dansup @kdekooter Are AR filters harmful by any mean (directly or not)? This is a real question

@anatolegc Yes, in my opinion it does. It copies "trends" from addictive platforms. The Fediverse should strictly refuse to do this. What comes next? An algorithm?

@dansup @kdekooter@moralapostel @anatolegc @kdekooter How is an AR filter harmful, when you don't need to even finish uploading the video to Loops, you can literally record a video then save it and share it to a specific person outside of Loops.
It's not that different from editing a photo and sharing it. That happens a lot. Where is the harm?

@dansup Why should we engage in the same nonsense as on the platforms we wish to leave behind?

@dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc I'm with @moralapostel here. Besides the feature being stupid, childish and tasteless we as fediverse should refrain from pyschological tricks.

@datarama Thanks.

@amoroso I've used that, Ecosia and DDG. All three use Bing, but I know that Ecosia and Qwant are working to make their own index (which, as I understand it, will primarily be for French- and German-language content).
I think all three are basically in the same ballpark, quality-wise. With DDG, if you use "noai.duckduckgo.com" , they turn off their AI suggestions *and* try to filter out AI-generated images from image searches - I don't know if Qwant has something similar, but right now that's why I'm using DDG.
