A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Warning: this is a link to a pdf

Doesnt load for me, anyone have another link?

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

For me it immediately starts downloading the file instead of opening in the browser as PDF. Maybe it's already in your download folder?

The relevant images are:

"Apply Transformation" = Mesh tool in photoshop

Probably not, the images are very garbled because they are meant to be viewed in a polished cylinder. See what I found: https://repozytorium.biblos.pk.edu.pl/redo/resources/27069/file/suwFiles/ZdziarskiA_RzutAnamorficzno.pdf#page=27

This is probably not it, it's too old (1997) and by a male student. Anyway, here are the keywords for your research:
anamorfoza w malarstwie praca doktorska filetype:pdf

Edit: The "Lover's Embrace" could be a misremembering of Para kochanków ("Pair of Lovers") by Jan Ziarnko (1608), and this article, which might be it (not a thesis but by a female Polish scholar in 2014), includes a decoded version: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/706976.pdf#page=3 (NSFW)

[–] tjsauce@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The cylinder cannot be damaged in any way

Bro I am cooked, it took me a few read throughs before I realized she wasn't spending the math departments budget on anthropomorphic art analysis.

[–] Waffle@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I thought it had to do with Animorphs.

Anamorphography.

That's not surprising. A benchmark photo for image compression is from Playboy.
