This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.
Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.
I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.
This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

#accessibility #webdesign@masukomi I've preferred #CSS text sizing with ems, since @Richr wrote about it in 2004:
Quoting:
"Like it or not, your readers **will** want to resize text at some point. Perhaps they are short-sighted, doing a presentation, using a ridiculously high resolution laptop or simply have tired eyes."
This was all pre-"responsive" web design, but it makes for much more scalable designs across text sizes. The calculations were tedious back then, but now easily computed.

#accessibility #webdesign@masukomi hi, is there a way for me to check if my website follows such accessibility requirements other than asking you to check what happens when you visit it? Any setting I can try on my browser or devtool or anything else?

In your browser (chrome, firefox, whatever) go to the advance preferences for font settings find "minimum size" and set it to 20 (or larger). Then view your site.
When designing things NEVER use pixel sizing. ALWAYS use em & rem & percentages. Never make a box that can't expand.
20 is what I use but some people need MUCH larger fonts.

@oblomov the two other things for helping folks with low / no vision is to learn how to use aria attributes (really easy i swear) especially using them to tell voiceover NOT to read 💩 that's not worth reading.
Then turn on VoiceOver or your OS's equivalent and "listen" to a web page. macOS has a spectacular built-in tutorial (comes up as an option when you enable VoiceOver) for teaching you how to navigate & use VoiceOver.

@masukomi thank you very much.

@Mastodon better late than never! I am so glad to see this bug finally fixed, and I hope it presages future use of the full feature set of ActivityPub.

The oldest backrooms level is a very long house.
The longhouse was the first very large building designed by humans. Some of them were massive. So I propose a backrooms level that's just a long house that extends into infinity, maybe with partition doors at intervals. Dead fire-pits, dry sleeping spots.
Discarded carvings and broken cooking pots.
And always light flickering through the walls, the sound of running animals and chaos. #backrooms

Autumn isn't ideal, but in the coming weeks, I'll have to paint the walls of almost my entire house. Manual work relaxes me, and painting usually gives me great satisfaction. Years ago, in an old house, I painted the walls in colors, and it completely changed the look. I'm not ruling out adding a touch of color this time, either.

Un bell'articolo di Giuliano Santoro su Paolo Virno. L'unica cosa che forse non traspare è la grande vivacità, assolutamente non accademica per quanto rigorosa, che si percepiva quando lo si ascoltava. Grande Paolo, ci mancherai assai

@quinta si tratta di una questione interna agli Stati Uniti e noi assistiamo impotenti a questo dramma, ma forse dovremmo cominciare a organizzarci per manifestare in piazza con il triplice obiettivo di generare un po' di pressione internazionale, mettere il nostro governo di fronte alla scelta se ignorare la questione, sostenerla ufficialmente o fare finta di nulla, ma soprattutto con l'obiettivo di informare i nostri concittadini che queste cose potrebbero succedere anche qui

Centuries pass, but human vices remain stubbornly the same. Dante placed the greedy in his Inferno for good reason long ago.
Unchecked avarice has always been, and remains, a destructive force.
