    the same freedom that affords him the ability to be a dumbass in public affords you the freedom to not be dead.

    though i do get the worries that come with the extremism spreading out.

    most social media anger is trying to fix problems that aren’t problems. meanwhile politicians get away not pivoting towards UBI. then we get more nationalists, and then we get more social media shitstorms. 😬 anyways, enjoy the ride everyone

    i don’t get what’s going on in this comment section - are we going to be mad at some code for what a person says on social media?

    i tried running Firefox on my 2018 budget phone and every https handshake takes 5 awkward seconds and it’s more like 0.5 seconds on brave. it’s open source, built in dark mode, and runs well for me. it’s not even a gut feeling thing, on Android this is objectively beating the competition within the privacy conscious space.

    i believe COVID is as natural and genuine as the historically evident spanish flu - but even if someone exists who is too stupid to get it, I’m happily enjoying the fact that he has nothing to do with me




  • that’s true but i think compared to most other consoles nowadays it goes a very sustainable path. valve does nothing to prevent you from running gog games, which are true digital ownership at least. i know physical media are the most tangible option in the moment, but in the long run blurays for example actually have a limited lifespan






  • I’ll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a “privacy infringement” onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn’t even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

    I’ll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone’s skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.

    Ah cool, I didn’t know that there are layers of capabilities for different requested brightnesses. Thanks for your in depth reply! I’m also a 1000 nits enjoyer but I don’t switch on any lights - I like when my eyeballs get blasted with colors. 😂

    Hey there, thanks for the comprehensive reply, I learned a lot. Also, your blog is fantastic, I’m always happy when there’s a new post =)

    Question about the last point: I feel like in SDR mode, the OLED is pushing brighter images. I almost feel like it’s underselling the capabilities at 270, but does so to give pixels a rest every now and then, in the hope that the bright spots don’t stay stationary on the screen. It’s a wild guess, I have no idea.

    I’m using all of them sometimes. ^^ Washed out colors are not an issue on AMD anymore as you said it, but on nvidia I can’t seem to fix it. I wonder if this is happening to absolutely everyone, as the arch wiki makes it sound like nvidia 545+ has been reported working…

    About the contrast: I wish I could, but I found that the factory default was 70% and it did seem to often cause noticeable dimming because the image was too bright for the max avg luminance. It felt weird and I think it’s because Alienware, like many manufacturers, just can’t resist blasting the consumer with overtuned contrasts to get a purchase out of it.
