Phones would be far less socially damaging if social media didn't exist in the way it does now.

Please read my comments before you respond to them.

Human vision is very, very, very good. If you think a camera installed to a car is even close to human eyesight, then you are extremely mistaken.

Human eyes are so far beyond it's hard to even quantify.

And bullshit on you not being able to see the lights. They're specifically designed so that's not an issue for colourblind people.

Tesla's argument of "well human eyes are like cameras therefore we shouldn't use LiDAR" is so fucking dumb.

Human eyes have good depth perception and absolutely exceptional dynamic range and focusing ability. They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised, certainly more so than any computer added to a car.

And even with all those advantages humans have, we still crash from time to time and make smaller mistakes regularly.

I'm aware of the current shortage.

Unfortunately I feel we'll be forever prone to this now that GPUs are useful for far more than just gaming. The market is being shared with people who are willing to spend a lot more for the same silicon.

During the Covid GPU shortage, my card died and I had to go back to my Geforce 9800 GX2. A monster of a card (in 2008).

I did not have a good time. But it was incredible it even worked at all.

HDR is kinda complicated right now.

As it stands, it's only available on the Plasma and Gnome desktop environments.

The HDR stack on Linux has went through a lot of change recently, and much of the stack has only just been finalised/standardised. It'll take a while to mature, and to arrive on distros like Mint.

No

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's bigotry to dislike Nazis, but you do you mate.

You wouldn't want the Signal brand to become linked to it.

"I'm on Signal, would you like to chat there?"

"What, on the MAGA Nazi app, are you joking? Of course I'm not talking to you there!"

Ideally you want a broad spectrum of people.

I know it shouldn't make a difference and people should base their views strictly on the technical and usability aspects of the app, but real life doesn't work that way. Perceptions matter.

TIL. You'd think Wikipedia would mention that! Unfortunate.

Unfortunately they cost a lot more or often don't exist.

Plus, many of us are over-stressed and overworked as is. Going to 5 different places to buy your stuff was a lot easier back in the days when most things were in walking distance and only one person in the household had to work full time.
