it's what happens whenever the wealth has been extracted successfully... no one can afford anything anymore

yep, minigames on loading screens.

pointless in the age of direct storage and high SSD speeds.

if you've lived before that: corporate thanks you for patiently waiting while counting their unrealized gains and lost potential on spreadsheets and ppts

I think the nsa is not going to cast doubts over tor by leaking information from normal people or small fry criminals like pirates. and if you're a dissident from a different country than usa, it's probably also fine. I'm a lot more worried about the vpns that pay or own vpn review sites or have ties to surveillance companies

  1. yes
  2. the same, but probably to an even more unknown IP that is also changing frequently. the content itself should look equally random

🪟: absolutely atrocious. let's do for-profit low quality software instead 😡

i see, and i definitely agree with the environmental aspect. but automated coding before ai is new to me, do you have a keyword i could look up?

how is this even downvoted? every one of you knows that programming has some exciting moments but sometimes just a 50 lines very trivial and predictable text that has to be written by someone. i don't see horses trying to pick up old carts to pull them around meaninglessly 😂

😳 oh no a wrongful thought. maybe we can get him back to the right view if we give him more ai

I had the same and it was only cyberpunk but the reason was that my GPU clock and voltage were not stable... it became stable with higher voltage or alternatively with lower max clock rate

bro imagine you live in 2077 and aside from the inconvenient terrorist engram there is a second quieter passenger who just tells you out of nowhere LOOK AT THE 2 OVER THERE, YES, STARE AT IT!

this man's face looks like about to emit a nasal laughter while he plugs a ring camera into a UPS, singlehandedly putting humanity's most secured military zones to shame

 

I know this might come across as a very impractical expectation but I wanted to hear from people who have a fulfilling career and also a sense for privacy: How did you do it?

I've recently had trouble finding a new job in the tech sector. So far I've been doing alright without LinkedIn, just directly applying to companies, but it seems less successful now. So I thought what the hell, might have to do this after all. After I've made an account I got quickly banned for logging in once from a VPN connection. Only way to get unbanned is to give my government ID to them - but that really rubs me the wrong way (so many leaks of IDs recently and all).

I'm remaining banned for the moment, contemplating what impact this might have on my career. It gives me a fair bit of anxiety, considering that my sense of where my boundaries are seems to be deemed unacceptable by the monopoly of international job markets. Should I just give in and send my ID? Am I delusional?

As always, I appreciate the discourse of this wonderfully decentralized community we have here on lemmy! ☺️

HDR Confusion (lemy.lol)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by SitD@lemy.lol to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
 

Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?

  • I understand that it's an absolute brightness standard, not like the relative levels in SDR
  • But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
  • Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
  • Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
  • Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.

Cheers 😊
