I didn't see an explanation in the README that part of what the first GIF[1] shows is an effect created by video editing software (and not a screencapture that's just demonstrating the program actually running). "Screen images simulated" are the words usually chosen to start off the disclaimers in fine print shown at the bottom of the screen when similar effects appear in commercials. I think that it would make sense to adopt a similar explanation wrt the effect used for the GIF.

- plufz 10mo agoWhy would an open source project need to have any disclaimer? They are not selling anything.
- nofriend 10mo agoBecause lying is wrong even when open source projects do it.
- plufz 10mo agoI think it is a big stretch calling this visual effect lying. I don’t know if it is a cultural American thing or just difference in interpretation but I had no difficulty understanding that this was a visual effect. But in my country ads don’t come with disclaimers. Do you feel like these disclaimers are truly helpful?
- cxr 10mo agoI don't feel that the person I responded to is lying or being intentionally deceptive.

- nebezb 10mo ago> “in commercials where such effects appear” Good thing this isn’t a commercial then.
