#colorblind

technology is amazing! https://ticalc.org is still alive and it's got an archive of software you can run on TI graphing calculators. I was able to do a full system dump of my TI-84+ and import it into TiLem emulator, which runs just fine on Switchroot Ubuntu. I've modified this overlay image to enlarge the screen a bit, too, now it sort of has nDS vibes I think. Actually... I wonder if anyone has made a TI-84 emulator for dual-screen devices. that would be neat. also wow I can't believe that I was into FiM as early as 2010. I can, however, believe that I thought those stripes were the correct colors. #ticalc #videogames #emulation #nintendoswitch #colorblind

I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.

Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.

It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.

The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: https://git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.net/src/branch/main/static/xkcd.css

so now when I want a color on my website I can just write color: var(--xkcd-off-white) or so on. it's really convenient :)
