Maybe its also a ship of theseus type situation. If you have to copy /etc/ from somewhere else, is it still the same installation?

Hm don't agree with their choices, but interesting to read through the thought process. The more colorful theme seems more useful to me, even if I can't remember the colors I use. I think its a VS code standard theme. I never really cared about customizing everything in general, I just keep what I found useful around.

I think anyone is allowed to develop a KDE app. You have to go through a process to get accepted for the branding I think. But it not like they spent paid employee time on this afaik.

A good friend has one, also only for one ear. People don't really notice, I'd say. I don't think it really restored a lot of hearing but he still wears it usually as it is still better than nothing. He got it pretty quickly after his hearing loss, so no idea how that would be after 20 years. He got them for free through standard health care as far as I know. I don't think he'd be willing to pay a lot for it if he had to. But I never asked that directly. Not aure if that helps. If you want I can try to ask him some specific questions if I remember to do so.

Don't have a link to the thread on Mastodon, but it was only in Singapore. So it is likely a troll or some glitch.

I know this is the wrong place to say this, but I really like the Windows Explorer. Dolphin is a good replacement, but it would be one of the few things I'd like to keep on Linux.

It definitely is/was. Most user facing software these days is a web app, or native application using JS anyways. The event loop and async programming is also ubiquitous nowadays in most languages, especially server side.

If you want a fun read how, once again, the government socializes losses so the rich can keep their privatized gains. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115278892228192244 TL;DR they outsourced their IT security (to a company part of management owned), laid off staff and then got owned.

Shocker, LLMs are only built to predict the next most likely word in a sentence and nothing else. Glad we test all the things there not good for individually though.

 

My main question first: Is my setup incorrect or are the dimming zone based monitors really annoying in day-to-day productivity? For one, the brightness of elements on the screen change too much. I.e. the task bar and cursor brightness change drastically depending on the background, even on low settings. On the medium/high settings of backlight dimming you can clearly see the square backlight behind the cursor. Is this normal and I'm just sensitive to this?

Also general HDR question: SDR white content like documents and websites are insanely bright. Is this also normal or should I play around more with the settings? But I assume I should switch them back when I actually want to consume HDR content?

Would love to hear from someone with some experience with HDR monitors especially LCD with dimming zones.

Backstory

I'm currently upgrading my two ancient 1080p 60Hz monitors. Nowadays I do mostly productivity stuff with my monitors, especially a full-time work from home job. But I do play games occasionally, so I wanted to get something for that aspect too.

I got myself the AOC G27G3XMN because it was recommended by Monitors Unboxed as a good entry level true HDR monitor. I wouldn't mind spending more on a monitor, but OLEDs for productivity don't feel worth it to me.
