  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Joke's on you I can't afford an HDR display & also I'm colorblind.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

    You can still profit from the increase in brightness and contrast! Doesn’t make a good HDR screen any cheaper though…

    Was gonna say the same thing, HDR is like flac and expensive amps for audiophiles Maybe we should start calling them visualphiles ? 🤷‍♂️

    "FLAC? Mate I destroyed my ears when I was 14 and listening to Linkin Park MP3s grabbed off Kazaa in the cheapest chinese earbuds my allowance could buy, at the highest volume my fake iPod could drive. I cannot hear the subtleties in your FLAC if I tried."

    Cheek aside I believe the word would be Videophiles to pair with Audiophiles.

    Eh SDR to HDR is a waaay bigger jump than Mp3 to FLAC. Assuming of course you have an actual HDR display. And not one of those "HDR" displays that only have like 400 nits of peak brightness.

    If you can't tell the difference between a FLAC and an MP3 that's fine. I can through a cheap pair of headphones and it's enough that I re-ripped my CDs to FLAC from 320mp3 and they really shine now.

    Well, I can. But the difference is so minor it won't make a difference in my opinion. Especially if you are listening mostly to digital music. It's a different story for classical, especially violin. But if i played for you both 320 kb mp3 and flac you probably won't notice unless i told you what to look for and thats fine.

    I don't judge people Hobies, i just wanted To point out how both are somehow similar

    The thing is that no one should listen 128kb mp3 -or youtube rip- and having a wide accurate color range screen is more important imo
