Just realized one thing I like about my color #Kobo device:
The sparing use of color reminds me a lot of the way color was used in early OSes, like Macintosh System 6.

Color is used for a splash, but the core interface is stark black and white for maximum contrast and readability (although with apropos use of antialiasing for font rendering when possible).

Modern desktop OSes really, really need to rediscover the wisdom of using color sparingly.

When I talk to people about web quality, they always mention measures based on code #readability and #maintainability. Rarely or never do they mention #performance, #accessibility, or #userExperience.

Performance _is_ accessibility. I think there is so much opportunity for me and my colleagues to raise the bar at the #RaspberryPiFoundation to improve access to kids and educators around the world.

Why Reading on Mobile Is Uniquely Challenging

You’re reading on your phone right now, probably skimming, maybe distracted. That’s exactly why mobile content is so hard to get right, even when the information is technically there, people miss it. Researchers found that comprehension on mobile can drop to just 19%, compared to 39% on desktop, using a simple test that removes words to see if readers actually understand what they’re reading. The real question isn’t whether your content looks good on a small screen. It’s whether it still makes sense when life gets in the way.

How "Liquid Design" Broke the iPhone and Forced Apple’s Great Reset

Apple’s "Liquid Glass" experiment has officially shattered, proving that obsession with aesthetics over usability is a billion-dollar mistake. As iOS 26 drains batteries and kills accessibility, a massive internal "Solid Design" rescue mission is underway to save the iPhone from its own ego.

@phanpy Loving the interface, the reduced clutter of the UI, the Boost caroussel !!! Feels like improved #Firefox #readability for #Mastodon with good looks.

I keep indentation shallow because simpler code is harder to write.
