aren’t the usual project hosting/issue/bug trackers thingies like github and forgejo free?

fear mongering? sus ass…

pronunciation of the words that make up an acronym have nothing to do with how you pronounce an acronym. see: atm is ay tee emm not aw tel mah nor is it atom. it’s just however it would make sense as a standalone word. some make a single sound and some require letter by letter and some combine.

soft ‘g’ jif makes perfect sense and is what the creator said is the the way it’s pronounced. hard ‘g’ gif sounds like someone saying ‘gift’ got candlejacked, thank you for coming to my ted tal

yeah, no, uh, i regret to inform ya’ll that toxic bpa receipt paper potentially causing hormone problems thru skin absorbtion is an actual thing and not some weird bs conspiracy theory thing: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bpa-receipts-major-store-chains-study/

it’s unsure how much of an effect it has on humans so far but it does affect lab animals.

1 coffee mug/tea cup of water in the microwave for 1 minute is perfect for a single serving bag of tea. it doesn’t have to be boiling, just hot. 1 min is also not long enough to dangerously superheat water. hot is water is hot water, it doesn’t matter if you do it kettle or microwave.

edit: lol

… what?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

why do nuclear diehards always pretend it’s nuclear or fossil fuels only, like renewables are nonexistant? it smells bad faith as fuck. nobody arguing against nuclear fission power plants are arguing for fossil fuels. absolutely nobody.
