  • Does anyone have a way to automatically disable night light during full screen apps on Linux Mint?

    Jump

  • thanks, I still have a hotkey for it from before I got the tray icon that's a single click, but after the simplicity and reliability of the brightness and gamma applet automation, I really want to find another automatic solution.

  • I came across those and also found the two part extension installation kind of weird, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work correctly anyway.

    I think at this point I've looked up every solution available via DDG, haha.

    if you don't use the standard night light in Linux Mint at all, you might want to look into it, it's super convenient late at night and relaxing on the eyes.

  • I think it's an included feature,, with a little tray icon to turn it on and off easily. just search "night" in the LM search bar.

    Night Light disables blue light according to a schedule or automatically according to your time zone.

    I haven't checked the manual, how do I check the package name? nightlight@cinnamon.org, is that ut?

  • Many countries with powerful social security systems have beaten egoism. They've proved that social support can be more powerful than self-interest by investing resources into society rather than ego-driven systems.

  • Since egoism is broadly the primary burden on the human race right now, A.

    Humans can beat it; several countries already have.

    Egoism is already bringing down many civilizations., but there are others.

  • TIL the stop motion film industry is propped up by one rich kid

    Jump

  • Exactly, making $100 million profit on stop-motion is like feverishly, lovingly crafting a bespoke hot air balloon with a thousand discarded model airplane kits and then realizing you've somehow survived landing on the moon.

    Jump

  • no, classifying a picture that makes an $80 million dollar profit as a "failure" is factually incorrect, albeit a useful tactic for studios and headline writers.

    making an 80% profit is a success in any business, and a triumph in most businesses; that's how budgets wotk.

  • I don't think that table is formatted correctly, I can't imagine it was $60 million for all four movies. yea, the budget for each is listed around $60 million.

  • That's what studios publicly lament about without going into detail. Between streaming, retail and merchandising alone, they're making their money back.

    Marketing campaigns are not bankrupting movie profits.

    If a studio makes 180 box office on a 100 million dollar production and they say they've lost 80 mil through marketing, they are pulling your leg.

    "ah yeah, first quarter my team only made 23 points, oh well, thats the game."

    No, there are three other quarters that the studio isn't talking about because it reduces their future negotiating leverage.

    Of course studios want more money, but studios aren't losing money on movies that get close but don't tip the magic number of "double the budget"

  • I also didn't hear about it until last year, and I don't I have any memory of seeing previews or promotion for the film.

  • It's pretty different from live action according to creators and producers, it's such a small market and stop motion is so difficult to explain and get off the ground and promote that financial expectations are much more realistic.

    You're right that if a live-action movie costs $100 million to make grosses $180 million, the producers are upset, but that's a greedy, ego-driven convention of the modern studio system, they are still making tens of millions of dollars before everything on the back end is added in.

    The stop-motion world has a more realistic perspective on production and the artists love every single piece of art they create, so also making $40 million as evidence that their art style can succeed in mainstream culture is the cherry on top of any project that even gets to be fully produced.

  • i heard about this on a podcast. it is great news for stop-motion, and considering how many shitty rich people there are, it's nice to know there's a couple good ones promoting art.

    Also their movies are good and all but one of their movies made tens of millions of dollars.

    for stop-motion, a very niche art-form, making 10-130 million dollars profit per film is laudable.

    went too big with missing link though, which i haven't seen yet.

  • Would you let artificial intelligence take care of your children?

    Jump

  • no to childcare, i would not let an AI raise my children for the same reason I would not let a bird raise my children. different species.

    platonic relationship - with an advanced enough AI, I'd feel comfortable having an AI acquaintance.

    i would feel ridiculous having a romantic relationship with an AI the same way I would feel ridiculous if I had a romantic relationship with an automobile or bird.

    consciousness?

    absolutely, it's a matter of the right number of neurons and the acknowledgement that "consciousness" is the expression of interactive instincts, knowledge and largely patterned reactions rather then a magical "soul" from an unknowable plane.

    AI consciousness is a matter of advancement and increasing complex awareness until AI is indistinguishable from I.

    AI consciousness will one day become as complex as human consciousness, which is limited and calculable.
