I hate to break it to you, but the character limit being integrated into the UI is inconsequential against the general preferences of humankind. Your 3 paragraph, well thought out statement is already too long to garner the upvotes a 2 word post will get in reply regardless of how good a post it is.
They aren’t ‘Tweets’ anymore. They are Xcretes.
The og article was already posted in !technology@lemmy.world at least and I was honestly disturbed by the amount of people in that community that were okay with this level of scientific ignorance from writers in a technology-centred blog. It’s like people WANT to be lied to and misinformed.
What is the natural science reason to wear blue light eyeglasses instead of just turning one’s computer display’s blue lights off
Other situations where there is blue light are also out of scope just as the overall harm caused by blue light.
Your question becomes ‘why wear eyeglasses to filter blue light when there is no blue light?’ The answer is “Science doesn’t say that”.
The reason is that the assumption ‘no other light sources aside from the screen’ is almost impossible to control for. You’d have to be in a room with no daylight coming in and zero other blue light sources emitting from say a smartphone, clock readout, artificial lighting for the room and/or any of its appliances.
Even accepting this ridiculous decision to rule ‘all other sources of light out of scope’ then the obvious only possible answer is that THE SCREEN EMITS BLUE LIGHT OUTSIDE THE CONTROL OF SOFTWARE COLOUR SETTINGS. For example, LCD screens use a white light bulb to light up a screen of LCD pixels. This white light leaks. It’s why LCD screens have lower contrast (black looks dark grey).
I suppose my explanation is out of scope, but that’s the only real reason that I know of.
It really isn’t. This question is circular and relies on a presupposition that becomes ridiculous from the subsequent arbitrary rules imposed.
;tldr OP’s question is out of scope for ELI5
This post makes me sad because I’m not a programmer and I don’t even know what the difference is. I just want a hug but apparently I’m ineligible.
Clever use of ‘nonsensical’ here. How refreshing.
Where and what is this usually?
with our 6.5 million users
Are there really that many? Sure doesn’t feel like it.
And a missing slot “404”
That and the pages that don’t work are trying to force a fingerprinting/tracking technique you shouldn’t want to allow anyways.
