This is cool! Thanks for sharing

Wow! So blue and green eyes are structural too? That’s amazing.

Beautiful video. Evolution is remarkable. Like all good videos on science it makes me want to know more.

Lot of words I will not remember but what I will remember enough to google is that it is microscopic assortment and “hollowness” that selectively filters wavelengths to produce reflection that enables these beautiful “structural” rather than I guess pigment-based, blues.

Quote I found by googling, trust the source more than the quote — “Structural colors are created by the physical form, or structure, of some plants, animals, and minerals. For example, the Blue Morpho butterfly’s wings have microscopic scales with tiny grooves in them; the grooves amplify blue color reflection, while canceling out every other color.” http://naturalhistory.si.edu/education/teaching-resources/featured-collections/what-makes-things-blue#:~:text=Structural colors are created by,canceling out every other color.

So in my own paraphrased and cobbled together words, structural color is different from pigment. Pigment is based primarily on the absorption of light and reflection back of some of it, while structural color is based purely on the reflection of light by microscopic structures somehow arranged to wavelengths of light.

Science is insane. Truly a remarkable world.

Reading your comment was like a breath of fresh air. Eloquently put.

Here’s a page with some features https://firefish.social/@youronlyone/pages/calckey-faq

Probably more important are features such as channels and pages which are more like Facebook or MySpace. People have compared it to Tumblr because you can completely customize the interface. I hope it intros some more people to programming

It does everything Mastodon does but more, honestly. I use both, and definitely prefer Firefish. But I’m a developer so a lot of things about Mastodon really bothered me. The core difference is Firefish fka Calckey is being developed much faster and with a more modern stack. The click to play MFM feature was developed in a few days when the community was concerned about potential seizures due to unasked for auto playing or animated text.

A few key features: QT & Full text search (search I don’t use except for specific posts so can’t speak to that) MFM & cat mode (these are just fun, Misskey flavored markdown has things like tada and sparkle and rainbow. People make art with it)

Huh interesting. I immediately had a positive reaction to the name because of this. Love Firefox. already loved Calckey err I mean Firefish though so I suppose I am not objective.

It really conveys the open and user control centric nature of the project. An homage to the fox. You have now not just the fox but the fish with which you can tame the raging fires of the web. Fish makes more sense than fox too cause the web is like an ocean. Idk just thoughts

Whoops didn’t mean to delete my post - was editing and accidentally deleted.

Thank you! I have Mlem and indeed there are filters in the settings.

Omg of course! I have Mlem set up. And indeed it does have filters in the settings.

I guess I’ve been using the web app and Wefwef PWA more than Mlem but this is probably reason enough for me to use it over others - until they hopefully build it in too!

Thank you.

Edit: Looks like it’s a hard filter only – fine by me.

Looks cool. I’ll do some research but seems like it might be possible to install this on Kindle? How would one do that…

I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back

Begun the ad wars have

For the record, there’s nothing ominous about it. The lead developer goes by the nickname Calc. And it is forked from Misskey. As to why Misskey is called that, that’s because the lead developer liked a song with that name or something. It’s funny to me how these things can be so personal.

I’ve thought about and talked about this too! We need this!!! Letterboxd equivalent.

This is the way

Yeehaw Beehaw!
