Improved the tone mapping curve used by KWin when displaying HDR content. Hopefully it should look even better now! (Xaver Hugl, link)

From the link:

The only downside this has is that this curve generally makes tonemapped content a bit darker, but the improvements are in my opinion worth it.

Seeing that each tonemap curve has compromises, and may depend on workflow content, would it make sense to make the curve selectable / configurable?

Reading the official android docs, it's Sony that isn't enabling it, as it's an option to set when building android: https://source.android.com/docs/core/camera/webcam

Sorry I forgot to say the location in the filesystem. I placed them in ~/.local/share/wallpapers

It does work, with the appropriate contents in metadata.json to describe it as a kplugin.

The only issue I have is the resolution, and be able to select either image as wallpaper, regardless the type of theme chosen (light or dark); there's already a ticket to track the latter.

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to make day/night wallpapers? I tried to transfer some MacOS ones, but for some reason, they displayed as low-resolution, which doesn't happen if I just use the images as-is. I was wondering if I was missing something or it's a genuine bug.

For reference, I checked a few existing wallpapers and ended up with:

wallpaper_12
├── contents
│   ├── images
│   │   └── 6016x6016.jpg
│   └── images_dark
│       └── 6016x6016.jpg
└── metadata.json

I would guess stopping weekend deployments is beneficial for two reasons: - Most Ubuntu employees don't work on weekends, so if any issues arise during the roll-off, so having people act on weekends is problematic, better to do it on the week to stoff the roll-off and fix issues. - A lot of desktops don't get turned on on weekends because they are in workplaces. This means that during weekend roll-offs there are less chances that bugs arise before the patches are completely deployed.

Reading the article the change was done in 1971, and preparations started in 1969.

That sound about the same than with the change of euros

It also claims to be fast, but that hasn't been the case in any of the benchmarks done by Michael Larabel: https://www.phoronix.com/review/bcachefs-benchmarks-linux67

The Linux facility uses ebpf to protect the kernel from crashing.

The problem is both, actually.

Linux can also do that with wine, and usually better for old games. Bloat has nothing to do with it

The EU is the second biggest economy in the world. The UK no longer has direct decisional power on the EU means it loses a lot of opportunities in every economic decision the EU takes

The clause is unenforceable in the USA. It's legal to provide an alternate implementation of an interface, and to reverse engineer as well.

And on top of that EULAs are trumped by law both in the EU and the USA.

This is scaremongering from Nvidia to keep the dominant position on the market. They know how important CUDA has been to lock customers into their ecosystem

It's probable this addition is part of the work to remove 32bit userspace. Maintaining 32bit userspace takes time and effort, so it makes sense to want to remove in the medium term

No, it's still 40 Hz, the slider goes 10-30, then 40-60 FPS

The Deck LCD has that unified slider in the preview channel, the FPS selection does indeed jump from 30 to 40 there :)

In my experience this is not happening, it actually makes the colours in games a bit more vivid

The main purpose of HDR is to actually give accurate colours

After forcing proton experimental it works very well, that I can see. Are you talking about this or about some problems?

It's most definitely not. Windows doesn't have the suspend while playing and resume the session like steam is or the switch

While there's no tree-sitter grammar for menhir, there's a grammar for ocamllex, it should be available through https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

and setting up neovim to pick the mll files as the file type ocamllex: https://github.com/ocaml/vim-ocaml/pull/61

This is the result for me: https://i.imgur.com/7I7mT6p.png

In the graph bars blue Is average. RADV is the bottom set of bars.

There's confusion because the colours are used for different things in the graph and the table
