IMO fascism already won culture over in 2021 when you all decided to uncritically embrace NFTs

This is really interesting. I want to use mediapipe to do realtime face tracking but it’s not clear how to make the mask to work in realtime. I was using Snapchat to film with filters before they discontinued the desktop app
