The simple version is that color blindness is caused by a physical problem with your eyes. If you don't have the parts required to detect certain colors then no glasses are going to fix that. They're just tinted glasses, the guy in the video tries three different pairs from different companies and all they do is tint the world a hideous shade of pink/magenta.

As someone else said above, what they can do is change your ability to differentiate between objects of slightly different colors. You might have a really hard time telling the difference between red and green, but find it easier to tell the difference between hideous vaguely reddish magenta and hideous vaguely greenish magenta. They don't grant you a greater range of color vision, but they do change what color is actually hitting your eyes. Mostly into hideous magenta.

FWIW the guy in the video points out that in his experience it generally made colors harder, not easier, to differentiate.

I understand that the reddit one was created in a different time, but I feel like in 2023 there's no excuse for making the name of your general womens' forum overtly transphobic

I'm disappointed I missed the chance to get one of these. It seems like such a cool thing. I'm holding out hope that they'll revisit the idea someday.

Never think in terms of monthly payments. Think in terms of how much money they're actually asking you for. That's how they get you to consider $50k solar panels lmao

That's, uh, literally the exact thing I explicitly said I don't want to do

I don't want the games all in my library. Retrodeck is one non-steam game addition in your library and then you launch it and all the emulated games are browsed through the retrodeck UI.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

That does sound like a good idea, kind of like Reddit's old multireddit function.

There could be different linux communities on different instances, and to see them all you'd have to subscribe to them and sort by subscribed view. But yeah, in practice most of the time there will emerge one "main" linux community and, if it gets big enough, likely offshoot communities for different philosophies or more specificity.

Ah, that makes sense too. If you drop yourself in the southwest of Kenya you might start to get an idea of what I was thinking.

Me neither, definitely gonna have to try it.

What do you mean "now?" Always been like this where I am.

Gacha mechanics are a plague on video games. Truly dystopian shit. But not all gacha games are that bad. Just most of them. Genshin is basically just breath of the wild but more jank.

I definitely got the oil paint vibe from it as well, impressive stuff. Did you have a specific region in mind when you were painting? Makes me think of Kenya or something.

As far as I know, not yet.

Hell yeah, great info. I knew about the non-vegan filtering processes and stuff like that so I've always had to google whether specific alcohol is vegan.

yeah, over on hexbear comms is the usual parlance anyway. the wider lemmy population with the new reddit people might change that though

They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

Ooh, spicy. Reddit really does want to turn this into the biggest messiest drama they can, huh?

Yup, there's no way they can't just hide specific instances from the list. And they really should. The only explicitly NSFW instance being an explicitly pedo instance is a really bad look. Exactly the wrong kind of early reddit vibes.
