Yes high max brightness is important. But low min brightness is too. The problem is that reviewers and spec sheets emphasize the former and not the latter. So manufacturers often disregard the latter as improving it doesn't translate to better sales. Some even use terrible PWM.

Astigmatism definitely has different orientations (a 360 degree angle figure) but it affects the direction the blurriness goes. Not the amount of it.

I also have it but not super bad. For me it's still much better to have a little blurriness at night than burning my eyes out on a white background (thanks google for popularising the "white on light grey on white" design mantra)

True, I'm very very positively not a team player (which gets me in trouble at work sometimes because they want everyone to be a good corporate boi) and have no brand loyalty etc.

I just don't really get the "us versus them" mindset.

It'd be funnier to go like "yeah I'm one of his wives" :)

Just because I prefer dark mode at night I'm now a light mode hater?

What's wrong with wanting choices? It's not a zero sum game, when I like one thing I don't automatically hate the other. I use dark mode at night and light during the day. Also because screens these days are optimized much more for top business than bottom brightness (reviews always scream about 1400 nits screens but never about ones that can do <1 nit at night while retaining full colour depth!)

And when I have a different preference to someone else they immediately take this as a personal offense. Even with brands, the fanbois are so toxic these days if you have the slightest criticism about their beloved brand. Well, nothing is perfect.

Society is so polarised now. I hate that more than anything.

Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(

Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.

It's mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin's coup.

I apologize , that didn't come across as intended. I didn't mean to imply that it's a matter of wanting at all.

I just argued against the narrative that somehow trans people are forcing cis people to become trans. Obviously they don't 'want' that because they are in the right body for them. This is where all the "Don't say gay" idiocy comes from. Because they view it as propaganda or something.

But of course the whole premise is BS. Even the concept of 'becoming' trans is. And yes I know it's not a choice <3

But that came out wrong.

Ik denk dat ze zich meer zorgen maken over de regen van raketten eigenlijk.

I like the way how conservative Americans are generous on Thanksgiving and think that one day is somehow enough or whatever.

I really really don't understand what people have against you. What you do with your body is obviously none of their business whatsoever. I don't get why people even want to have an opinion about that.

FWIW I'm really happy for you that you can live your life in the proper body to match your soul and I'm an LGBTQI+ ally <3 (and a little on the Q side myself).

I can understand people don't want to be trans because they are simply in the right body or they aren't but have religious doubts or whatever but that deep hatred I see even in some of my "friends" scares me.
