Makes sense, I just dont quite get what the compositor does in the case of two videos being played simulatanously both with vastly different profiles (e.g. one mostly red, one mostly blue).

Does the compositor then do correction on a per-window basis, or it just averages across the whole screen. This question is likely outside of the scope of the PR

Damn, is she single?

I guess related to the MPV post. From what I understand wp_color_manager_v1 essentially tells a window manager what colorspace its outputting (via dbus?) so that the window manager can make (realtime?) color corrections.

Trying to think of a use case… maybe if you have a really red video scene, your window manager can normalise that so you can see the different shades of red better. Am I even close?

I checked out the PR but I’m not sure what this means

There have been several threads about this on HN over the past few days and months. Just to avoid the confusion that seems to follow these, a few notes:

(1) This is the “Download and Transfer” option where Amazon allowed users to select books they had purchased a license to and download them from the Amazon website.

(2) The ability to transfer books from your computer to your Kindle using a USB cable is not affected.

(3) The ability to send non-Amazon-licensed ePubs using the Send to Kindle email feature is not affected.

Still seems pretty bad though

Oh true – Alien did it pretty good

I do find cartoons the best examples here. Pippi Långstrump is an interesting choice since I think that’s aimed primarily at girls, but PepperAnn did it pretty well with an ambiguous audience. Daria (arguably, though she’s a bit of a toxic character). Kim Possible maybe? Again probably mostly aimed at valley girls, but the show was interesting enough that anyone could watch it.

Books wise, plenty of examples. Lyra, Matilda, Anne of Green Gables, etc.

I think issue is just hollywood. They pander to the lower common denominator which tends to be alpha males looking to justify their existence

I prefer it when the gender doesn’t matter, and that the hero doesn’t need to prove anything to the audience. They’re just well-written and we’re invested in their motivations and the wider story around them.

A good example of this is the excellent She-Ra cartoon. I can’t think of many good examples beyond that sadly…

I have a plushtoy and some coasters my first ex made. I dont really miss her (she was mean), but it was real good stitch quality.

I have the habit of cleaning the place on a Saturday morning from my last ex. Not really a gift, more of a curse, but her I miss.

It’s just hard getting into new stuff without questioning whether it was sold to you through some kind of advert osmosis.

At least with the old stuff, there’s little chance that you were target audience

I watch a lot of cartoons, but when there’s a dry season I find myself just rewatching The Simpsons or American Dad.

Usually the earlier stuff of course, but you get some gems in the later stuff, and the later stuff gets funnier the more you memorize the writing.

I’m beginning to suspect that nostalgia is a form of brain rot.

Yep, did survival skills when I was a kid. Treading on water with neck high for 15 minutes, diving in with PJs and plimsoles, and controlling our breath at the bottom of the pool, taking off our shoes and tying knots in our pyjamas to use as floatation devices. It was pretty intense for a bunch of 10 year olds to do, but yep we did it.

I love how the town subsidised his heckling until he went online with it. Probably drew the attention of the Council of Five, and then the town had to clean up their image

As long as they’re not exploding after, he’s doing good

Two birds, one stone. You have the cleanest town in the area for free, and he gets his groceries done. Do you know how many towns would kill for that?

I really want to know the evolutionary selection criteria for that was, because I’m overwhelmingly certain that bored humans had something to do with it.

that they need a rusty sword to study it
