Also. Could we launch fucking Pinterest into the fucking sun, too?

Absolutely fucking impossible to find the original source of any museum or blog image because there's eleven million different 400 pixel copies of it on seven different regional Pinterest sites, and none of it wants to be filtered out no matter how many exclusions you type into the search!

And let's not even fucking mention all the stolen photos, images and such. Zero attribution, thousands of copies, endless slop. Absolutely fuck off. 🤬

The original terms of service stated that they could attach advertising to pictures uploaded by users. Don't know if that's still true, but I decided then and there I would use it.

And I almost didn't see these posts because I filter mentions of it here.

probably easier to just do a tineye reverse image search - that might not get you the best quality image, but it will help find the first instance on the Internet (and it can filter results)

@akamran Absolutely love having to do an entire different operation for each individual image using an entire another service to even make out if the image that I'm looking at is what I want, when the default basic thing would work if These Bunches Of Arseholes weren't such a fucking pestilence and had been for years...

@Sini Tuulia yes.

or even throwing it into a volcano, which requires much less energy.

or targeting with a death beam from orbit, don't we have some evil overlord with an orbital death beam on the fediverse?!?

@valhalla Throwing it into a volcano might also becalm some of the numerous spirits we must have offended

@valhalla It’s so sad because Pinterest seemed So Cool to me when it started. It generally kept the connecting link, it did not have fucking MOVING ADS and it was really neat to collect things into boards for projects. And then … enshittification. And now it’s a top result for fucking everything and that’s so annoying.

@valhalla For a brief shining moment it felt to me like it might be the successor to the Craftsy boards and similar PHP craft tutorial boards that existed in the early 2000s, except with better graphics

Anyhow, now I’m just getting maudlin. :-)

tineye - a broswer reverse image search - used to be my go to for museum artefacts but the last few years it's just fallen down a lot more. Especially with anything that's watermarked Getty - which is weird. 😕

For instance this dress is in a museum *somewhere* but can I find where and what year it's actually from? No, no I cannot.

Closest match is something called Bridgeman Images which appears to be a photography company, not a museum.

Photo of a Black silk dress with white lace collar and cuffs. Date Unknown but probably from around the 1890's

While I agree with the "Pinterest in a Volcano" thing, in this case it's right on Bridgeman site:

@fabrixxm true. The Image descriptions also seems to state that the dress is part of a Louvre collection / catalogue . ..?

Sooo? 🤷🏿‍♀️

@Faintdreams As far I can tell, the description says that the dress has a label with "Grand Magasins du Louvre, Paris" ("Louvre Department Stores") written on it, which is, I suppose, where the dress was bought from.

I am so thankful for any collector who uploads stuff and actually still cites the source on there.
