  • 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


  • 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?
















  • There is an ideal within capitalism in that regulators keep competition between firms up, and stops monopolistic practices. Under such a system, companies and consumers interests are wholly aligned and this benefits the lower-to-upper middleclasses very well, with some fringe benefits for the working class too.

    It is this stasis snapshot of the market that people refer to when they say capitalism can work. I’m not wholly against it, I just sort of feel that regulatory capture is hard to fight against and that any stable capitalistic system will devolve into a monopoly/cartel if given enough time.
