@zl2tod I see virtually no visual difference between the link which you say is bold and the nonclickable text:
#badux #ux #badui #uidesign #baddesign #accessibilitydisaster #badaccessibility #accessibility #mastodon #clickability #clickable #link #links
@zl2tod IMO Mastodon has extremely bad UI design. Clickable (red) and nonclickable (green) texts are not visually distinguished. I didn't even think that the word "followers" could be clickable.
"It should be easy for a sighted person to tell the difference between a clickable link and static text. [...] People may not understand or notice a clickable link when this convention is not followed."

Mastodon is IMO an accessibility disaster.

Our five year old "commercial technology" washing machine stopped working today. Thanks to DYI repair videos, I was able to run a diagnostic to see the error code and identify the clutch slider as the culprit (of course the manufacturer's website was of no use here).
I could have ordered a replacement part online for about 50 $CAD but the part design is so bad that I preferred repairing the broken part instead.
The steel ring around the slider is held with only six small plastic "pegs" about 3mm in diameter. Those pegs broke off from the repeated actuation of the clutch during normal operation (electromagnet exerting an axial force on the steel ring). I drilled small holes in the plastic slider in which I self-tapped 3x4mm set screws (aka grub screws). I slid the steel ring back on and backed out the screws so they would engage in the ring.

WTF is wrong with people. I get wanting a style but when style gets in the way of functionality we have an issue. Would have loved to read more ozzy stories but the crappy website design made that impossible. Well impossible is strong, I refuse to work around it . #ozzy #music #baddesign
To prevent systemd from destroying your Raspberry Pi SD card by constant 100% writing saturation of coredumps despite these being disabled, just because some Glycin HEIC thumbnailer is constantly segfaulting while you are browsing smartphone pictures, do:
Put Storage=none and ProcessSizeMax=0 into /etc/systemd/coredump.conf and do systemctl daemon-reload, delete contents of /var/lib/systemd/coredump
sudo systemctl mask systemd-coredump.socket
sudo systemctl stop systemd-coredump.socket
