It is a rabbit hole. I just checked the latest release of GiMP (3.2.4). The "GiMP built-in sRGB" profile is supposed to be a functional match to the ArgyllCMS sRGB color space – the true sRGB profile according to the addendum in the above profile comparison.
But if I embed it in a photo and then open the photo in GraphicConverter, it shows up as "sRGB IEC61966-2.1", which to my understanding is identical to Apple’s sRGB Color Space Profile.icm.
But that's an sRGB v2 profile. Should I download and use a v4 profile instead? Or download the ArgyllCMS sRGB.icm [1] and convert all photos to it? Or just select the Apple default sRGB profile everywhere?
I'm not a pro and don't have a calibrated display, but it annoys me when photos I upload online look vastly different in my browser than they look in my editing software on the same display.
I'd bet my money on no. To my understanding, those hallucinations are basically brain-level disturbances in perception, where the brain does its best to fill in ambiguous activity with known objects. So I guess if you've never seen hats (or men), your brain would just interpret the signal as something different.
Extreme tangent but interesting (to me): people in different cultures experience voice hallucinations differently. In the west, "hearing voices" is often frightening because the voices are hostile. In other cultures, the voices are friendly!
Not unknown. It is signed "G. Clement", for Gerald Clement. The title is "Lesson 3d" because it actually is the third lesson in a tutorial for MacGrid, a software developed by Clement that teached people how to draw in MacPaint.

Continues to tell us how he did listen to the advice because the editor actually had a point that made the story better, got the book published and won him an award.
Yeah I think the lesson is that specific suggestions for what to do aren't as helpful as just hearing how someone else experienced your work, and then drawing your own conclusions about how to fix that.
Bug reports should describe the problem but often shouldn't try to prescribe a solution.
On one of my first qualified jobs, my manager (a lovely older lady) did exactly this. All incoming emails were printed and put into a binder. Then she would go home, write an answer with a pen on the back side of every single one, and on the next day write a new email to the recipient. 10-15 % of all emails she sent this way would bounce because she had written the address incorrectly.
When I showed her the reply button in Eudora (this was in 2001), she was so happy that she bought me a cake.
She struggled with IT but was tack sharp otherwise. So far she's the only boss I've ever really liked.
That is really poorly worded by Apple, because if I understand it correctly, the "Files & Folders" list is just a list of apps that have requested Full Disk Access/FDA (or other locations).
It's really confusing that some of those settings can be toggled on/off, while the Full Disk Access is greyed out and can only be toggled under "Privacy & Security".
To add to the confusion, toggling FDA off just protects a few selected folders that Apple decided are extra sensitive, like:
Messages ~/Library/Messages
Safari browsing history ~/Library/Safari
Cookies ~/Library/Cookies
Identity services ~/Library/IdentityServices
Spotlight data ~/Library/Metadata/CoreSpotlight
Phone call history ~/Library/Application Support/CallHistoryDB
Facetime data ~/Library/Application Support/Facetime
TCC database ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC.db
"Normal" files and folders on your disk (including Desktop, Documents, Downloads, network volumes, and removable volumes) can always be accessed (even with FDA permission revoked!) after a simple prompt. [1]
> imagine if you were at the grocery store, blocking the isle and someone lightly chimed a bell at you instead of just saying "excuse me"
Greetings from Sweden, where some people will verbally announce "honk honk" (tuut tuut) while avoiding eye contact – then bump into your leg with their grocery cart.
I don't know… If I'm sitting at home or at a cafe working, I want my headphones to block all bicycle bells and ambulances on the street. Those in traffic could perhaps just turn their ANC off?
Won't those cut right through the ANC just by volume alone? A domestic fire alarm is 85–120 dB, I don't think my airpods can mute that.
And of course there will always be fringe cases. What if I go to sleep with regular foam earplugs, what if I take a sleeping pill etc. Or what if the warning sound can't be engineered to fit a ANC friendly frequency, like somebody screaming, a car tire screech behind me and so on.
There is no ANC that can block those, both because of volume and also because ANC only blocks constant noises like hums. It's terrible and sudden noises like alarms and honking.
