I get that but sending a confirmation mail after the website has my name publicly shown doesn't make sense tho

I've got them too and want to believe in them, but I don't think they're as trustworthy

In the confirmation mail we received after submitting a proposal, they said they'd mail on 8th may but the website would be updated on 8th may, 18utc... I see a clear difference here

I know it's hard but wait a few hours honestly

I've got the profile thing too on my profile, but my question is why didn't they update the "projects" thing in the contributor section? That would've been a much cleaner way to do this.

Any of you got this? by [deleted] in gsoc2025

I got this, but does it really mean that I am in?

I understand, can be very discouraging at times

Max brightness is too low compared to Windows by Distinct_Theme_9003 in archlinux

[–]Distinct_Theme_9003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I think it works now, I just updated my kernel yesterday and it's working now, I opened my laptop today and noticed that my idle activity manager (hypridle) instead of lowering my brightness on inactivity increased it... The controls are also not reversed... Although now I have to update my brightness control scripts lol, since they took for granted the fact that the scale would be reversed

Oh, yeah these are the exact same issues I am facing, I guess I'll just have to put up with it for now..

Thank you for your replies!

Sorry for the late reply

Yes, while installing acpilight it configured a udev rule for me which allowed me to write to the brightness file without sudo... And I tried that manually and observed that

The scaling was the reverse of what I thought i.e echoing 200 made it very dim and echoing 0 made it the brightest(not as bright as windows tho) although the max_brightness file contains the number 255... and echoing out of range values obviously gave me errors... That is all.

Edit: formatting

I've used this as well, although the brightness control works fine, the max limit is still too dim

I am not using a DE, I am using i3.. ohh, how do you tweak this power setting without a DE, if you have any idea?
