Palwold dev talks too much

These are more like last 2 week but anyways:

• Finished Agent A after a year of hiatus.
• Got hdr to work in Dark Souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod and finished getting the 4 big Souls.
• Got tired of the difficulty of Dark Souls 2 and decided to start a new random shooter from my library… Devil Daggers
• Had a management sim itch and gave another shot at FTL, never got to win. Half the time I lost in a single encounter to things like never landing a shot on the enemy ship due to shields + misses or 7 people teleporting to my ship and wrecking havok. Other times I got too greedy.
• Tried to figure out which way to go next in Dark Solus 2 by checking the wiki but kept getting sidetracked by things I might’ve missed.
• Also tried to quench the management itch with shapez, but didn’t like it much. Just made me crave the factorio dlc more. Amazing music though

Guessing from how this change required 3+ implementations before it became official according to the gitlab page, maybe it’s a chicken and egg situation. Hdr is a lot of work so maybe people don’t want to implement an unfinalized version that might change

Wow the icon saga is finished!?

If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

Source? This is using the same engine as Avatar frontiers and that can be played offline.

The eff passphrase generator has about 2.5 bits of entropy per character (without word separators). Eff recommends 6 word passphrases, and with an avg word length of 7, that’s (only) 79.45 bits of entropy that won’t even fit in the 32 characters. If there wasn’t a password length limit it would be possible to saturate the hash entropy with a 20+ word & 102+ char passphrase.

Gpu brand shouldn’t be a factor, just buy whatever’s better value.

I’ve used nvidia on Wayland for a year and the issues are greatly exaggerated, and if you have a cpu with an igpu you can plug your monitor(s) into the motherboard to get around wayland-related ones (there’s probably some latency impact for games but I can’t tell).

Currently the problems (that I know of) with nvidia drivers are that colors get muted if you enable hdr, steam’s web interfaces appear corrupted or flicker unless you resize them, there is no memory spillover to ram, and the nvidia ‘x server’ settings app doesn’t support wayland.

And keep in mind that issues tend to get resolved over time. When I first built my PC the nvidia gpu would cause xwayland apps to flicker and didn’t support nigth light or transparent panels in kde. The amd igpu would turn the screen pure white if I changed windowing related kde settings. These don’t happen anymore.

Why wouldn’t it be? I don’t mean install it, they could just download it on page load like other fonts

if the user doesn’t have a suitable font installed

Then they can just download the font. No need for images.

I bet this is about making the emoji animated or something

This worked. Apparently I had all the usb devices connected to the same controller and it seems linux initialises them controller by controller. Thanks

I did try messing with the hook order but it’s already as early as it can be.

How would bios change how linux loads usb devices?

It works fine in bios and bootloader. This only happens during boot

I’m annoyed at the words being abbreviated despite the buttons being large enough

I had thought it was about the color profile because with hdr disabled from system settings, enabling the built in color profile desaturates colors quite a bit and does some kind of perceived brightness to luminosity mapping that desaturates bright / dark hdr content even more. Although I don’t think that’s the cause of my problems anymore.

Thanks to your tip about kscreen-doctor, I could try different combinations of hdr / wcg / edid and see how the colors look with different combinations:

I think there must be something wrong with my screen since the hdr reduces saturation more than anything else. Anyways, thanks for the good work

Edit: Tried this with an amd gpu. hdr+wcg works as expected without muted colors. hdr without wcg still significantly desaturates colors, so I guess that’s a monitor bug. Now to figure out gpu passthrough… (Edit 2: It seems to just work??)

Side note, when I turn off hdr only from kscreendoctor the display stays in hdr mode until it turns off and on again, that didn’t happen with nvidia

Edit 3: Found something weirder… Hdr colors are muted on nvidia gpu and seems vibrant with the amd igpu. If I plug the monitor to the motherboard (amd), enable hdr, then unplug and plug it into the nvidia gpu, the colors are still vibrant??? I can disable and enable hdr again and again and they aren’t affected. They’re even fine when hdr is enabled without wcg??? But if I fully turn off the monitor and back on they once again become muted with hdr. Weird ass behavior

You can’t with hdr as I said. Check it yourself if you want

This doesn’t mention the part where if you enable hdr, it sets the color profile to edid without an option to change it, which for my monitor makes everything very desaturated even in comparison to srgb mode (with no color profile)

Last time I got domino’s a single pizza was the same price as the 3 pizza menu (excluding upcharges). Maybe that’s what’s going on
