Root797754yZoom is shady as hell.
I do like the virtual background though 🤔 but since it’s zoom and they’re shady as 🦆 it makes me wonder where they got the training data for it. -

dder22814y@Root I don’t think you need too much training data for that. I mean even digital cameras in 2010 had face detection w/o HTML and AI and shit...
And my i5 8gen seems to be not powerful enough to use virtual bg.
And if I use it anyway, then it stutters and just annoys.
Bottom line:

vane110524y@dder basic algorithm for face detection is from 1901 so there was plenty of time to implement something. Zoom just “got lucky” ( paid for media articles - what ? ) and is now mainstream.

Elyz69654yAn absolute delight that my University paid for Teams but decided "naw we continue to use zoom next semester despite the shadiness" gg, uni. Proud of you.

@dder probably a Linux thing. I run virtual BG just fine on an i5 8250u on windows. Smooth af.

Root797754y@FrodoSwaggins did this before. Might do it again.
Giving sysvinit a try for now.
Or at least will once I get WiFi working again. It’s tremendous difficult to do without already having WiFi. 😕 -
Why pkill if you can just run into the basement and pull the breaker for your room?
