  • Oh, no problems! Colour rendering isn’t an angle I’d thought of yet, and clashing colours is definitely something I’ll think aboit next time.

    I do have to wonder if my aversion is learned, as I am very much not a morning person, so waking up by strong sunlight or room light are both negative experiences. I’m also a big fan of rainy days, and I wonder how much the light colours play into that and how.



  • Is it possible that the sensory processing differences are caused by the difference in retina cells? That the cerebellum develops differently to deal with different inputs and thus behaves differently elsewhere?

    I find it hard to imagine that the difference between needing the room lights because it’s too dark and only noticing the shift in colour temperature is just due to visual processing. If the eyes are the same, why can some people see well and others less so?


  • No, most of the places I notice my aversion to yellow light have pretty neutral colours; off-whites, greys, the occasional green. I haven’t looked into it, but I would say the yellow lights (at least the ones that bother me) distort the colours more. I have no idea when the Colour Rendering Index of them are, just that they seem much hasher. Maybe yellow lights are more tolerable to most people, so they install more? Yellow lights aren’t rated for higher power though. Maybe it’s purely the colour temperature, maybe it has to do with sun exposure and cloudy days?

    Just the CRI wouldn’t explain why some people find the addition of artificial light unnecessary at best while others seem to need it to see. There’s probably some amount learned perception going on, but I don’t think you can learn to be blind to certain light, can you?


  • Bixby is the one yeah. Until AI assistants can ask clarifying questions and replicate arbitrary actions, they’ll just get in my way.

    As for the method, I use bxActions to remap buttons. You can add an action for a single press, a double press, a long press, and a double press and hold, and then a different set of actions on the lockscreen too.

    Single press does indeed get pressed accidentally sometimes, so I have that as Media play/pause. Flashlight gets put on long press, which has extra functionality; if you release as soon as it comes on, it’s a toggle, but if you keep holding the button it will turn off when you release it. Very convenient. The double press and double hold set screen rotation, although I don’t use then very often. Double press on the lockscreen opens the camera.

    You can add lots of other actions too, like an extra bright flashlight (both flashlights automatically turn off after 5 minutes), launch apps, switch apps, take a screenshot, use google assistant instead, set sound setting (like do not disturb, or IOS mode), other media buttons, volume buttons, home button, back button, open some system utilities, change one handed mode, toggle the screen (like pressing the power button), toggle fullscreen, and do some notification managment. Oh, and did I mention you can rebind the volume buttons too? That’s 24 different actions you can bind.

    Only issue I’ve had is it’s not a system service, so android likes to kill it when it gets low on battery or RAM. But that’s a problem for every custom service.

    TL;DR: Both. Flashlight gets a 5 minute timer, and I also have it on a long press.


  • That’s true. Office fluorescents are often a very clinical and harsh tone.

    Maybe it’s something to do with the breadth of the spectrum? Are some eyes better at utilizing a wife spectrum even if the intendity is lower, while other eyes care prinarily about the maximum intensity?

    Or maybe it’s something to do with exposure? Some people can’t see the intensity difference between spill light from outside and dedicated room lights because their brain adjusts the effective exposure differently?

    Maybe it’s overexposure filtering. Some people get headaches from brighter light but don’t notice the brightness because of all the extra work their visual cortex is doing to filter out the extra light, while other people genuinely need the extra intensity?

    I feel like letting pets/horses respawn sitting at pet beds/hay bales would massively increase their useage. You’d still have to go back home if you want to keep exploring with them, but not you can have some investment without easily losing everything.

    Some smarter AI that actively avoids lava and cactus would be nice. Retreating when hurt could be good too.



  • I have my phone’s flashlight hooked up to the extra button that was supposed to be for an ai assistant, and I use it more than every other non-keyboard button on every other device I own combined.

    Not only am I more comfortable in the natural light/darkness, I never need to make a return trip to turn the lights out.







  • Oh, whoops, I wasn’t comparing Stract, I was comparing Google. Those are the reasons I don’t use Google search, I hadn’t tried Stract yet.

    After trying it, it seems cool. Not the best at broad meanings though. “Ram” returns an Indian politician as the “answer”, a site in Japanese for the first link, and then mostly results for Random Access Memory after. No reference to the Dodge Ram (thank Odin), but also no reference to male sheep.

    It also feels very anti-store, which is a nice change, but might ve an artifact of the seemingly anti-SEO stance, with random results from anywhere. Maybe that’s just the European focus?

    It also has issues with getting context from multiple keywords, and doesn’t prioritize say “street car” over pages that happen to contain both “street” and “car”. Excluding keywords with “-” works though, very nice. Quotes can help with phrases to, so " “street car” " finds exactly things called “street car” with the space. Both still miss streetcars though. Misspelling corrections are offered but not assumed, which is very nice.

    Definitely the biggest issue is the seemingly random results. This might be good if you’re searching for an exact string that is only present in a few places, but anything common and it’s a crapshoot. It’s nearly unable to find anything to do with shamrocks, prefering to find business’ named Shamrock.
