it didn't 'happen in the right time' and all that shit; it had advertising paid for by investors. and also the viral 'mastodon's tooo haaaarrd to understand for my wee wittle dumb baby brain" campaign. no way that dumb shit was organic.
not gonna get fully into the weeds here but 'have no leadership to revoke' is an odd point to try and make when the covid disinfo campaign absolutely had leadership.
"abusing AI" is a fucked way to report this.
this martin guy is the same one who made the asahi linux drama a thing and brigaded torvalds?
yeah. fuck that guy. i don't care what he has to say about some 20 year old code that nobody cares if it was decompiled from ninty's sdk or not. nintendo isn't even making a fuss about it! this is all just martin scrambling for more attention, again.
fuck ai full stop. imho. it's cooking the planet and stealing art and funding nazis all the same whether you use it to make fun of the nazis or ai bros or make something otherwise entertaining with it. you're still contributing to the problem using it at all.
holy shit my dude black panther style means irl black panthers from actual history not marvel movies ffs
the stock market has a LOT of automated trade. when the price of a highly traded stock falls and reaches certain points it triggers limit orders to buy, and when it rises it triggers limit orders to sell. that's why you never see a clean rising line or falling line for more than a few days at a time, these auto orders run by the huge investment companies always stabilise things a bit. to see larger trends you have to scale up your chart to see past the stabilising periods.
bret is nyt's go-to cryptofascist. he's always got these bootlicking propaganda pieces.
tried again, and yeah display settings was where i first tried, and no, 'none', 'icc' with multiple diff profiles, and 'built-in' all change absolutely nothing but the keep changes popup shows up like it worked fine; no errors or anything. then i went into trying with colord and colormgr cli commands like i said before. it does see my monitor under display and resolution and whatnot are correct and do change, just not the color profile.
everything works as it should under x11 session.
regardless, the whole point of my og comment was color management protocol isn't only hdr stuff. even in the significant issues page for kde it says color management and HDR protocol in the bullet point about programs that need accurate color profiling.
it seems pretty obvious to me on word meanings alone that 'color management protocol' isn't only for relatively new hdr tech, but instead everything to do with color management, like how color profiles are under 'color management' in the system settings you're telling me to use that the wiki says isn't ready yet...
from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles
"Wayland
Wayland supports color management through color profiles, but the user interface for managing these profiles is currently not implemented properly. However, you can manually add a color profile through the following steps: Firstly, copy your .icc color profile file to the /usr/share/color/icc/colord/ directory. Run colormgr get-profiles to obtain the available color profiles, and colormgr get-devices to obtain the IDs of the attached devices. To assign a color profile to a device, use the command colormgr device-add-profile Device_ID Profile_ID. The device ID is obtained from the output of colormgr get-devices and the profile ID from colormgr get-profiles. For example, if your device ID is "DP-3" and the profile ID is "icc-5fb87663ba378cadf463ba64d92dced3", the command would look like: $ colormgr device-add-profile DP-3 icc-5fb87663ba378cadf463ba64d92dced3 With these steps, you can manually manage your color profiles in Wayland until the user interface is fully implemented. Once the ICC profile is added with this method, it will show up and work as expected in system settings like Color Manager in the KDE Plasma settings. "
copy to colord folder, eh?
the part i have trouble with is colormgr shows no devices and nothing happens trying commands to load an icc profile. it's no big deal, i'll just use x11 until this gets fixed but others on arch forums and reddit threads has this same issue with kde wayland, and judging by the 'user interface isn't ready yet' i'm guessing it's just not ready yet.
but sure, colord has nothing to do with it and color management protocol is ONLY for hdr tech.
am i taking crazy pills?
that has nothing to do with metric vs imperial:
"Lumber manufacturers typically cut a tree into the various standard types of dimensional lumber very shortly after the tree is felled. At this point, the 2 x 4 is actually 2 inches x 4 inches, a 2 x 10 is actually 2 inches x 10 inches, etc. But then the newly-sawn (but soaking wet) lumber is then kiln-dried until it reaches the desired moisture level. During this process, it shrinks as the moisture in the wood is removed and the wood cells shrink. Once the drying is complete, the boards are then planed to a standard size. Hence, what started out as a 2 x 4 now measures 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches."

i'm using kde on endeavouros. when using wayland the color profiles section in settings does nothing. you can go pick a profile and click ok but it just doesn't load it. colord is the daemon that handles color profiles entirely and that's what this is about.
not just hdr stuff, it's all color profiling. my old monitor is dark af with wayland because it's not loading its color profile and i can't adjust gamma or apply color profiles in settings or with colord like you can in x. i really need this to be able to switch to wayland.
this is a concept i've been trying to put into concrete terms for myself and you just, like, fuckin nailed it right down. thank you so much.
mint is good, pop!os is also good, i use and recommend endeavouros as arch-but-easy. tbh just about any popular distro these days is prolly gonna do fine for the average user.
pop!os reportedly packs in and handles the proprietary nvidia drivers for you, which can be a pain to handle yourself. i haven't tried it nor do i have nvidia but i see it highly recommended a lot.
sodium. gravity. carbon capacitors. lead acid. molten salt. air pressure. flywheel.
there's alllll kinds of battery storage solutions, and for grid storage just about anything other than lithium can be used because lithium is really only useful for power density applications where weight and size of the battery matters like cars and planes.
nuclear fission is dead. fusion is the only nuclear worth talking about and that's still years, probably decades away from being actually useful.
so then: solar, wind, wave, hydro, geothermal, and all kinds of batteries is what we have now and can do cheaply and do everywhere and do it now.
