HDMI Forum to AMD: No, you can’t make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver
The reason for this development is crystal clear. The most widespread display connector in the world is at war with open source. HDMI 2.1 is the standard needed for using 4k and high fps simultaneously. Its only competitor being display port.
But is DP really a competitor? It's not like you can choose since all devices are on HDMI-only. Your USB-C cables use hdmi internally too. There are no TVs with Display Port. Basically only desktop computers sometimes use DP.
Most egregious of all is why this is happening: HDMI literally created for adding DRM to Cables. It's about piracy. And almost all hardware manufacturers are collaborators. HDMI capture cards do exists. But they're already cracking down on it. They don't want you to own any media.

We introduced self-reply fee escalation to account for an exceptional poster who would self-reply in 3-5 comments to their many link posts with excessive context, ie non-discussion-eliciting comments. People would see their posts and think a discussion was happening, then navigate to see there wasn't a discussion in fact. This was back when many SN posts went uncommented on, thus they singlehandedly made comment count an unreliable signal.
That stacker has found greener pastures by the looks of it, so I'd be up for turning self-reply fee escalation off for OPs to see what it might be retarding.
As a non-writer that values writing, especially when it's done natively here, I'd love to support your writing experiment.
FEATURES
I really like some of the features hinted in the profile mocks. As a quick background: some of my points from this SN comment would still apply here - so please take a look there.
I think some users would be interested in making the SN profile page their "internet profile" page.
Specifically I think as a user it would be great if I can select couple building blocks for the profile to make it my own. E.g. I would like to select following blocks:
It would be for sure good to have a solid default. Defaults matter.
I think the stats and trophies are ok, but in the mocks those currently take too much space - I would like to have those somewhere on the side, I'm more interested in having my content and links in my profile page.
And just one quick point to keep in mind:
REDESIGN & STYLING
For the redesign & styling: I'm not a fan, since the design "language" is what we used to do in early 2000s and not in a good way. This was the style before we discovered "flat UI design" in 2011+ :) (this is a reasonable summary). The color gradients (yellow to orange) in the buttons/logo is what gives it away the most. Font sizing, font face, and overall spacing is also not that great, but that's not as hard to fix. I'm definitely not against redesign/updated styling, but I don't like this one in particular. My tip would be to share it with the best UX designer you can find and get their input/critique.
