Venus , 6 months ago to asklemmy in "If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

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.

Venus , 1 year ago to linux in uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"?

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

Venus , 1 year ago to news in Chinese censors to restrict use of AirDrop and Bluetooth, activists fear it will further hinder their ability to mobilise people and share information

Literally 0 sources anywhere and literally invokes 1984

Liberal propaganda is so fucking lazy. Y’all realize this is way closer to what 1984 was actually about right?

Venus , 1 year ago to linux in Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political!

Nah, they’re fascists. Maybe not every republican, but a solid 70% or so of them. And a decent chunk of democrats too.
