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.

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.

Me neither, definitely gonna have to try it.

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?

[–] Venus@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

she still lived with her parents at 24 years old with no ambition other than to live off of others. she proudly stated this. she didn’t work. she had multiple sugar daddies that would financially support her while she would insult them and her customers behind their backs openly to anyone that would listen to her garbage.

Unimaginably based, she is my hero
