👴💻 "Old eyes" Tyler crafts a cutting-edge innovation: a border around your active window! Finally, a solution for those who find the #macOS design as distinguishable as a chameleon at a rainbow party. 🚀🙄 Customizable borders? Revolutionary! Or, you know, Terminal commands for that signature "What does this even do?" user experience. 😂

A question for both personal focus and effective screen space: When you're (temporarily) only interested in a part of the space (a pane(l), div, selection) that a website or native application occupies, is there a way to watch only that and not the rest? A window manager perhaps? #oldEyes #a11y

Slashdot's text color is #363636 (default light theme).

Slashdot... why do you hate me? Would it kill you to just make your text BLACK??

I can't lie.

I really am not a fan of the game.

I think it is more or less because I hate playing this kind of game on such a small screen.

Another reason to use your browser's reader view: it takes poorly designed white text on black background over to white text on black background.

You know I love you, @thunderbird, but I was certain I had a big, ugly smudge on my monitor for a second there.

I just realized why I've having trouble editing this code: it has variables "oid" and "old" and I keep misreading them.

While working on assembling my radio kit, I was reminded of something I use that is retroactively obvious. A magnifier headlamp. Pictured. Like 20 bucks on Amazon, five different sets of lenses of various powers, LED light, seems to be pretty well constructed. The same headlamp seems to be sold under several different brands. If you're bifocals have more focal lengths than your radio has bands you need these. I waited far too long. Once you have them all kinds of uses. #t41 #kitbuilding #oldeyes
