Just realized we hit 3000 followers on Mastodon! Thank you to all our users and contributors. Your the best! #linux #audio #multimedia

So just to make people here aware, we are also on BlueSky now (https://bsky.app/profile/pipewire.org). Our goal is to keep doing things like release announcements primarily on Mastodon and BlueSky going forward. We might stop updating our X account at some point, but we will make a sticky note announcing that once we get to that point.

With the work being done on HDR and color management in the display stack there is a risk that some of the old stuff fall to the sidelines. Do anyone reading this use the Printer ICC color stuff? Is it still valuable or is it something that is only theoretically is useful?

My main worries around AI is not skynet like scenarios which I find not impossible, but definitely implausible. Rather my concern is more about unscrupulous people using it to further destroy and pollute public discourse, taking the oxygen out of our democracies.
That said I also doubt there is a regulatory way to avoid it as the unscrupulous actors on the world stage will keep pushing ahead regardless #AI
