They are giving you contrast, lots more contrast.

That’s actually the problem, most people don’t have very good displays and additionally watch dark content in lit rooms - but showrunners are pushing for HDR, when you’ve got a $20k Sony OLED PVM in bt2020 or ‘color space off’ (native gamma), everything looks good. (There is a BT709/sRGB emulation mode, but I don’t think they care enough to use it)

Try to watch the same on an IPS LCD with possibly not even 100% SRGB coverage and you’re going to have a bad time. Even a VA will have a bad time if viewed off-axis.

Let China build the means of production back into the proletariat’s hands

That’s a good joke.

China has billionaires just like the West, they shit on their underlings who shit on their underlings just like the west.

China is a capitalist nation…

Knife

In public

Not looking for a stiff fine or gaol time. Yes, a Swiss Army Knife on your keyring is considered a dangerous weapon here too.

(Legally, there is an exception for Utility knives, if you ‘have a good reason’ but it’s never given, people have been fined for having box cutters)

In Australia CR2032s have a double wall thick plastic blister packaging that is basically impossible to open.

You need scissors AND some time.

So do ad blockers, yet we still use them.

I think it’s equally plausible RFK worked out they have to actually provide proof of the link between Paracetamol/Acetaminophen and Autism during discovery.

Obviously they can’t, but the case did what it needed to by muddying the waters and can now be withdrawn.

If Kenvue doesn’t sue back for libel, they probably got paid off.

Can I try billionaire broth without risk to my superpowers?

China: but we weren’t gutting Nexperia, promise!

err Yeah Nah mate.

There’s always money in the leather jacket stand.

“Nanny State”

Somehow we don’t get memed on for that, even though it’s all the same downunder.

That might not be lying though.

Cheeto might have accidentally said a quiet part out loud…

ave, silly meme.

To add to this-

One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.

For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.

Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.

Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)

*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows

Edit: For the newbs, an ancient meme- https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html

Trump: “But I was promised you needed US?”

World: “No, it was just convenience.”

Portugal and Egypt are interesting.

Hungary is a client state of Russia who is a client state of China. That’s just vertical integration.

eh, covering up Covid for China for a solid 6 months wasn’t great.

We did the same recently in South Australia with our last remaining steel manufacturer that the Gupta family were trying to gut.

I’m sure China will close the ‘no laowai’ restaurants now too.
