Thanks for the context!

Some context from the article I found helpful as a layman :)

When seeing this mailing list post, my immediate assumption was it being some new HDR testing code that slipped under my radar from DRM-Next coverage, given all the ongoing High Dynamic Range / color management work happening recently for the Linux desktop. But when digging into the merge, it's actually even more mundane. The "hdr" in this sense is around the C header files. The new "hdrtest" code is for the Intel Xe kernel driver and is around trying to help ensure the DRM header files are self-contained and pass kernel-doc tests. Basic maintenance checks on the included DRM header files to ensure they are all in good shape.

Apparently this is about neither DRM, nor HDR in the sense an average user might think of those terms 😅

Oh shit, I just finished theming my new fedora install, thanks for sharing!

That website's cookie requirements are gross, here's the whole article

The Open Technology Fund (OTF) has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court in Washington D.C. against the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) and the Office of Management and Budget. In its lawsuit, the OTF is seeking a preliminary injunction to have the USAGM release the withheld funding. US President Donald Trump had previously issued a decree largely restricting the USAGM under the current legal situation. The OTF uses its funds to support the certification authority Let's Encrypt and the anonymization network Tor, among others.

OTF lacks 650,000 US dollars for operating costs

In its application, the OTF argues that the termination of the grant by the USAGM is unlawful, as the provision of the funding has already been decided by Congress. As part of this decision, a total amount of 43.5 million US dollars has been earmarked for 2025, which accounts for 98 percent of the OTF's funding. The USAGM oversees the financial and programmatic activities of the OTF and makes payments to the non-profit organization. The OTF had requested and not received a payment of around 650,000 US dollars for operating costs in March.

Kari Lake, executive CEO of USAGM and special advisor to the Trump administration, described the US agency in a statement as a "huge rot and burden on the American taxpayer" that also poses a national security risk. OTF Chairman Zack Cooper, on the other hand, argued that his organization is the most efficient and effective tool against censorship and influence peddling. An end to OTF projects "would weaken America's national security and keep millions of people around the world trapped behind authoritarian information firewalls", Cooper said.

Overall, the US government invests a lot of money in open source software. Last year, Let's Encrypt received around 800,000 US dollars in funding from the OTF, the Tor network received almost 500,000 US dollars and the open-source Android app store F-Droid received 396,000 US dollars. In total, the organization currently supports around 50 projects, including the development of the free VPN client OpenVPN. According to its information, the OTF has published around 2,500 patches for open-source software and the organization promotes VPNs for around 45 million people in countries with censorship. OTF President Cunningham sees the lawsuit as the only way to ensure the continued existence of these projects.

Man, I completely forgot about that. That's honestly wild to think about in retrospect...

I think the important thing is really just that mental illness doesn't shield you from accountability for how you impact other people, and for a personality disorder that primarily manifests in traits that harm people, that's a hard thing to reconcile with that person's merits. Doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't, just that because you are still responsible for potentially hurting people, and have a disorder that makes you very likely to do so, those things will be very hard for people to square.

Another example is paraphilias. Paraphilias can include things like pedophilia, which manifests in a desire to do something that would subject someone to profound amounts of trauma, the likes of which most of us couldn't even begin to appreciate. Can someone with such a paraphilia be a good person who is kind, and does not harm people in that way? Yes. Can that person be largely a good person in most contexts, but cause people enormous harm as a result of their paraphilia? Also yes.

In some ways we are all people with conditions that affect who we would be otherwise, and in other ways we are all just people, and conditions are used descriptively to communicate the traits that we have.

At the end of the day, the thing that matters is how you treat people. If you cause people harm, it might be more understandable given the context of a personality disorder, but it doesn't absolve you of any responsibility. And if you don't, then you haven't done anything wrong. And I mean that for each moment in time, each interaction. Humans are messy and complicated, and generally ideas like "good person", "bad person", are reductive.

I'm sorry you feel trapped or defined by your diagnosis. That can be a painful place to be. I have a close friend with borderline personality disorder who has at times felt similarly. Only thing that matters is whether you're an asshole. Only thing that ever has mattered, only thing that ever will.

Edit: just want to be very clear- the fact that it will be hard for people to engage with you purely based on your behaviour in a given interaction is not something you deserve. Its the actions and how they affect people that count, even if I can empathize with why it'd be hard for people

As long as that's Giséle's choice, that's a huge win and I wish her luck with her case. Thats beyond horrifying

She's not wrong that most foreign terrorist threats the US faces were radicalized by our own political and military involvement in other regions

4chan is depressing

Are we seriously contriving an awkwardly constructed conversation just so we can call our hypothetical wife fat?

This would be a disappointing attempt at humor if it were posted on facebook, surely we can do better

I appreciate that they went the extra mile and sealed the soul of a screaming man in at least one of them. Contractors are always cutting corners these days

I mean that broadly seems like a good thing. Execution is important, but on paper this seems like the kind of forward thinking policy we need
