So is it slightly less holy, or slightly less water?

Hell yeah, I look forward to seeing it!

You’re so very welcome my friend ❤️

Take care!

Using reference to get a feel for real landscapes or backgrounds will make for great practice, even if realistic backgrounds aren’t what you’re aiming for!

The setting sun looks excellent, I really like that detail :)

Cool!

Love the ghost in the shell profile pic :)

Yeah. Thats fair. I’m not prepared for it to be even worse.

Yes, you have the right not to vaccinate, but if you do, your presence will jepordize the saftey of anyone around you, particularly those who medically can’t vaccinate.

It is not oppression to say that if you make a medical choice that threatens other people’s safety, businesses and institutions and not required to allow you to risk the saftey of their other patrons

You’re not entitled to recklessly endangering everyone around you. Thats not a freedom anyone has. Thats not a freedom anyone SHOULD have

I really liked not living in a fascist country that hates minorities…

The opposite, they filter blue wavelengths, (and some green), preventing light exposure from telling my brain it’s time to be awake :)

I have delayed sleep phase disorder, which makes sleep happen much later for me than is typical, so things that can make it easier to fall asleep a bit sooner can be helpful

If you’re interested in the science, about 2 hours before we’d naturally feel drowsy and wanna go to sleep the body hits what’s called your DLMO, or ‘dim light melatonin onset’, which is the point in your circadian rhythm when your alertness starts to drop off for the day as your body starts to secrete melatonin that accumulates in your system until you feel sleepy. But as the name suggests, this only happens when that biological process isn’t delayed by light exposure, and it’s most sensitive to blue wavelengths (technically it’s a bell-curve sort of distribution where the green side of blue is most activating, and it’s less activating the more you stray to either side of that wavelength). If I understand correctly light exposure similarly triggers your body to pull melatonin out of your system, essentially waking you up if you just got up for the day, or are feeling sleepy at bedtime.

Light intensity also matters, which these glasses do less to help with, but they really cut down on the wavelengths that are most disruptive to feeling sleepy. Because my sleep is SO late, the easiest way for me to vote is to go right before my bedtime when the sun is up, which can be hugely destabilizing to my already pretty crap sleep schedule 😅

So the glasses here made it slightly easier to go home from voting and being out in the sunlight, and try to start winding down for sleep I’m hoping to also get some of those silly looking fitover sunglasses to help minimize light intensity, and then I’ll have the option to take them off when I go inside running daylight errands before sleep, as that’s when I have access to places during open hours

Thank you 🥹❤️

Oh shit, that’s super interesting! Really appreciate you sharing that, now I wanna go read more about that some time!

👋😊

Huh, thanks for the advice!

I have very poor working memory so thinking about words, and trying to remember letters, and thinking about how long they are, all at once, kinda fries my brain pretty quickly 😅 but I have a much easier time with the lateral thinking and word reasoning of connections

I’ll keep your advice in mind if I give the wordle clones a shot, or am playing sometime in the future post-strike!

Hope you have a good one 😊

I’m fucking gobsmacked. We live in a dark timeline but at least it’s funny as fuck sometimes 😅

Personally I don’t really mind opt out unless the choice isn’t clearly presented to people for them to decide.

Like if during installation one of the steps is “share anonymized data” and the switch is in the on position by default, I really don’t mind that. Usage data is massively helpful from a UI/UX perspective and in terms of user testing, doubly so for open source projects without as much resources for doing that kind of testing otherwise.

But if it’s burried in a settings pannel somewhere, that sucks and doesn’t respect user agency

Thats how I feel anyway 🤷‍♂️

Lol, I definitely found that rough at first, but it’s at least the kind of word puzzle I’m good at, I suck ASS at wordle 😅

I voted early a few days ago!

Forgive my sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I’m not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

If you see this feel free to post your voting pictures or “I voted” stickers, seeing them makes me happy!

Thank you!

Thank you!
