true, but that too is just happening in a datacenter. in a hypothetical world where those datacenters stop existing for one reason or another, everything genAI that doesn't run on phones effectively stops existing

current big shot models still require hundreds of gigabytes of memory to run, placing them well and truly out of reach of normal people's computers, let alone phones. this is mistral's largest model, but most of the smaller ones aren't all that much smaller. this is not escaping DCs any time soon

I'm reasonable sure macOS doesn't do that. if your monitor can't do HDR, you're not getting HDR. it's not kde with its half-baked hdr-on-sdr fuckery

good news: the photography site now has a functional rss feed with images!

yeah, and yet. :(
I treat clientside colorspace conversions in browsers as basically non-existent and I'm thankful media queries exist to let me separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak

glass looks really cool though, thanks for making me aware of it!

if I used a customized color profile I'd be fine with a photography website throwing up its hands and going "look we'll create an srgb copy but things might get weird"

there's only so many Known color profiles so I think you could feasibly handle them all with simple "If Input Space Is Larger Than P3, Create New P3 Copy" (and again for srgb) heuristics

I'm also looking into putting some of my photos online and I ran into similar problems as you lol. whenever I've got time I'll probably build out my website a little and host those photos myself

it's kinda wild that Serious photography platforms won't let you upload multiple images with their own color profiles (for presentation through a media query-gated <picture> maybe?) *or* accept photos with large color spaces and do their own srgb and p3 conversions themselves

makes sense. I convert my photos down to srgb or p3 since those are the only relevant color profiles for still images and I don't want user agents to do (or *not do*, as you mentioned) their own conversions

genuine question: why export photos in linear srgb? depending on the audience, my final exports are either srgb or p3 and so far that's been fine

specifically it's a modified version of Myriad. it's a shame no vector version of this font was ever released

it uses bitmap fonts that, iirc, have no kerning information
