This is what Wayland took from you (literally, like, the *entire* concept of X was to do this and only later did even expensive business machines get fast enough to realistically exclusively run local programs)

Today my cousin accidentally misread the last stop of the Piccadilly line as Cockfrosters, and dunno about you but that's one hell of a name for a brand of frozen chicken.

I wonder if this is a thing for others too, or if it’s just me. I have no usable vision but I do have light perception. Not as much as a sighted person, but enough to understand things about the world that would be impossible to experience if I had no light perception. I can tell where the sun is coming from and how cloudy it is beyond just feeling those things. I can tell how much lighting a room has and where it’s located. It’s not immediately obvious to me that someone has a table lamp on if their main light fixture in the room is also on, but since the biggest light fixture in the room is turned on in the ceiling, that says to me there’s a lot of lighting wanted in that space at that time. I have my own house now, and I have a sighted partner I need to consider when it comes to lighting, but I’m here alone a lot these days. And when I am, the lighting is up to my discretion. I don’t use light functionally very often at all, my hearing is my primary sense I would say. But, here’s what I’m wondering about if I have in common with others; a lack of light has way more of an effect on my experience being in a space. For example, my main lights in the ceiling are all burned out. They only light up half the room but still, they’re out. I have a floor lamp in the corner to light the opposite half of the room, especially if there’s not sunlight for whatever reason. Oftentimes when the floor lamp is too much and the main lights are way too much, I would use my tv for background light just as much as I would for background sound. Last week my tv broke. I also have a lamp that I suppose could be considered a desk lamp on the fireplace next to me. Some storms came through last weekend and I’m assuming one of them messed up a breaker because the wall where my soundbar and my lamp are plugged in, nothing is working. So I’m in a pretty large living room with one light on in the corner opposite from me, on a cloudy rainy day. It’s honestly depressing. When I’m not by myself, it doesn’t matter as much either way because I’m not using light functionally. But I’m surprised it has as much effect as it does with that fact being considered, that it doesn’t have much functional usefulness to me. I am guessing it’s evolutionary. If I can perceive light at all, it’s wired to mental perception of safety to an extent. I don’t know. It feels stupid to explain it to sighted people though. “No, I don’t need light, but if I don’t have it it’s damn depressing!” So strange. Anyway I wonder if I’m the only one. For the record I can’t perceive color at all, just light. I think it’s similar to how sighted people perceive the world with their eyes closed, minus the inate awareness of colors.
