- Comment on My mother-in-law's way of sealing plastic bags. Yes that's been burnt by the stove top 4 days ago:
…yes, and limit the shelf life of the product, which is plastics’ biggest benefit. Air and water tight packaging extends shelf lives to ridiculous lenghts, especially if filled with an inert gas like your typical bag of fresh salad leaves. Besides saving money on produce that would spoil without plastic packaging, alternative packaging would entail changing people’s eating habits, especially in the northern hemisphere. :/

We all agree this is bad for food safety, but don’t you think regular sealing will affect the food as well? Of course melting the edges to seal them will produce some amount of gasses, even if it’s not burning, just like warm water will evaporate even if it’s not boiling. We shouldn’t use plastics for packaging at all.

- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 2 weeks ago:
What’s the difference between a cis woman with small boobs getting a boob job, and a trans woman with small boobs getting a boob job?
And between a cis man with big boobs getting them removed, and a trans man with big boobs getting them removed?
I agree your examples are very different issues. Comparing a micro penis to bottom surgery is kind of unfair. Let’s compare total penis reconstruction after injury (phalloplasty for cis men) to penis construction (phalloplasty for trans men) instead. It’s the same procedure and it serves the same purpose, to create a penis for a patient that doesn’t have one. Is a cis man that lost his penis in war body dysmorphic?
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Is “I hate my shoulders, I wish they were broader so that I could look more manly” and “I hate my boobs, I look like a plank, not a real woman” not dysphoric enough for you?

Flickboard is also worth checking out if you like this style of typing. It’s on F-Droid.
The dev compares them like this in her README:
Why not MessagEase?
It’s proprietary, and suddenly started requiring a subscription.
Why not Thumb-Key?
Back in the day, Thumb-Key didn’t support MessagEase’s more advanced gestures like circles and U-bends.
They do now, so this section is mostly historical, but FlickBoard’s detection might still feel different, in ways that people may or may not prefer.

Yes! We developed screens to suit our eyes. Pixels look like this: b2c-contenthub.com/…/subpixels-monitor-types.jpg
It’s not an issue, it’s just that they’re built to be viewed by three-cone creatures.
Here is a great video by Steve Mould about cameras and true color: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-DyrBDsKA5s
- Comment on Wavelengths 4 months ago:
Fun fact! Since we (primates) have three cone cell types, we only really see three colours (red, green, blue). The rest are an illusion. Some animals, like fish and birds, have four or five cone cell types.
This means that for animals that have a cone cell type for yellow, an sunflower displayed on an LCD screen will not have the same color to them as a real sunflower. The screen will show a mixture of red and green (which we perceive as yellow) and NOT yellow.
