- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows is as dark as that infamous Game of Thrones episode 1 week ago:
Nope, it does have wide color gamut and high-ish brightness, wouldn’t buy unless reviews said it was ok. But it does some fuckery to the image I can only imagine could be to make non-hdr content pop on windows but ends up messing up the image coming from kde. I can set it up to look alright in either in a light or dark environment but the problem is I can’t quickly switch between them without fiddling with all the settings again.
Compared to my cooler master a grayscale gradient on it has a much sharper transition from crushed bright to gray but then gets darker much slower as well, to a point where unless a color is black it appears darker on the cm despite it having an ips screen. Said gray also shows up as huge and very noticable red green and blue bands on it, again unlike the cm which also has banding but at least the tones of gray are similiar.
Also unrelated but just noticed while testing the monitors, max sdr brightness slider of kde seems to have changed again. Hdr content gets darker on the last 200 nits while sdr gets brighter. Does anyone know anything about that? I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows is as dark as that infamous Game of Thrones episode 1 week ago:
I got a samsung monitor last year too (it was the cheapest and I keep seeing reddit praise them) and it has such a terrible hdr experience. When hdr is on either dark colors are light grayish, brights are too dark, everything’s too bright or colors are over saturated. I’ve tried every combination of adjusting brightness / gamma from the screen and/or from kde but couldn’t figure out a simple way to easily turn down the brightness at night without some sort of image issue popping up. So recently I gave up and turned hdr off. Also if there are very few bright areas on the screen it seems to decrease its overall screen brightness, which also affects color saturation bcz of course.
I really wish there was a ‘no smart image fuckery’ toggle in the settings.

Addition to 10. And if a thread is not about america or politics, someone in the comments will still twist the subject to rant about it.
And 11. Lemmy has a disproportionate cynical middle aged nerd population. Like the people on this post thinking ‘old reddit-like ui’ was a compliment. Seeing the ‘I only use vim’ guy once is amusing. Scrolling down and seeing a dozen more sends a distinct ‘this place is not for you’ vibe.

- Comment on Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? 5 months ago:
All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.
I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.
I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.
I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now
- Comment on Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? 5 months ago:
I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls, which is widely supported at this point, and it’s what what all my browsers are using (and also doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off).

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional

On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:
-
Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:

I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:

So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!

I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:
