Computer screens emit light, so when your computer shows a green LED next to a red LED, both green and red light wavelengths are sent to your eyes, and your brain interprets this as yellow. This is because your eyes only have red, green, and blue receptors in them, so sending green light mixed with red light is indistinguishable from pure yellow light.

Pigment, instead, works by absorbing light. The trick is that red, yellow, and blue are not the primary colors of light–it’s instead Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (which look similar to Red, Yellow, and Blue). Yellow pigment absorbs blue light, magenta pigment absorbs green light, and cyan pigment absorbs red light. Therefore, if you mix yellow and cyan pigments together, the resulting mixture absorbs the blue AND red light, so green is the only wavelength left that gets reflected back and picked up by your eyes.

I found a video on it that explained this well with a neat diagram: https://youtu.be/YtH9eXWuf3Y?t=44

I miss Web 2.0. Hopefully the Fediverse can bring some of that back

Have you found a way to customize conversation notifications? Samsung’s notification system seems a little wonky for me

I’m on an S22U right now. The device is excellently built and the S Pen is really handy, but I do miss my OnePlus 6T’s notification system. It did a much better job with conversations, categories and grouping. I had a Nexus 5 before, which was nice, but the 16GB of storage was pretty limiting.

I also have the Buds Live (the beans!) and those are awesome. They’re the only earbuds I’ve found that stay in my ears, even when running or shaking my head around. I used to have a LEMFO watch (the huge one), but the digitizer flaked out on me.

I used to have a Lenovo Yoga C940 (which had all sorts of problems), but I’ve since switched to a Mac
