I couldn’t find the post because I don’t have a Threads account myself and it limits how far back on someone’s timeline you can go, but the UI and username matches. The original post wasn’t in English, so it must have been translated using OCR, resulting in the weird artifacts. You’ve got a good eye to catch that difference.
Ah, see that at least sounds plausible. I’ve used Google Translate to translate road signage with the camera, and it tries to position and resize text to fit the original sign. So if that kind of technology is happening here, that could make some sense.
…but then why wouldn’t you just let the browser translate it for you, since it would normalize the same font size across the entire text? Oh, if they were in the Threads app they wouldn’t have they available.
It absolutely can. Screenshots aren’t always perfect copies; there are often small imperfections introduced during conversion, and this can result in a slightly different font.
Woah… I’m genuinely concerned for you. What are you talking about? A screenshot should be a 1:1 pixel perfect match to the screen. It’s a literal dump of the pixels on your monitor, that’s what happens when you Print Screen on your keyboard. Even screenshots on Android are full size captures of the entire screen - even the pixels obscured by front camera cutouts. I know this because I’ve taken screenshots from my phone and put them in Paint.NET, the resolution of the image is identical to the resolution of the phone, all text is of identical fonts (whatever the HTML/CSS of the page says it should be).
Unless you’re assuming AI post-processing is messing with images, but that’s a much bigger and separate concern. Screenshots can be manipulated, and that means you can be manipulated.
Yes algorithms modify your screenshots, as they modifie your photos; and they begun to do that before ChatGPT. Then you save your screenshot; it’s generally in PNG which is not a bad format, but still it’s a compressed format which can be lossless, but generally isn’t as it is applied. Then you crop your screenshot using a shitty android app, which will reduce again the quality.
If you didn’t observe that, I’m concerned for you and your lack of observation.
Funny, but hardly “escaping containment” when the screenshot was doctored to begin with.

They daycared the dog?
It’s not necessarily doctored. It can be a problem with the screenshot.
sorry, what? a “problem” with the screenshot"?! it doesn’t cause the fonts to be different 🤣

Yeah but that’s just gonna result in lower image quality, not entirely different font sizes across the picture
They’re talking about compression artifacts, which is entirely plausible.
A lossy compression will modify pixels. It will not be 1:1. Webp and JPEG both use lossy compression.
