@sarajw it is. In NL we also know this delicate delicacy as a Smart Blockchains.

Hmmm, blockchains. With mustard…

I wonder if y’all can help me out—I’m trying to collect a list of web development communities (not related to any one specific tool or framework), can you reply with your favorites?

(if you don’t have a favorite I will also accept communities you’re familiar with 😅)

paul,
@paul@social.van.buu.re avatar

@zachleat I’m surprised to see that no one mentioned the WordPress community yet. That’s a shame, because it is not only huge, obviously, but also very welcoming and diverse. Pinging @remkus for a confirmation.

@zachleat sorry, I overread that part in first instance.

Video creators including their "sign up for Nebula" and "down in the comments" in the Nebula version of their videos are lazy.

I'm already watching you on Nebula, you gonk.

@alda Isn't this lazyness not some form of cargo cult? "We do it because the cool kids on hipstagram do it"? I remember @hdv was pondering about the same thing. Social media are ruining the web! https://front-end.social/@hdv/112224001686084708

There is a myth about white text over black backgrounds being the best color contrast combination for accessibility, but in reality, white text on black backgrounds creates a visual fuzzing effect for people with astigmatism called “halation”.

This effect is known to reduce text readability and is particularly bad for people with astigmatism because it can cause terrible headaches. https://www.levelaccess.com/blog/accessibility-for-people-with-astigmatism/

@vasilis Well...
There is no black and white answer, is there?

But actually, I don't have the answer. Only one thing is certain: you cannot please / serve everyone. Perhaps best to ask @gillyberlin whose post linking to the Level Access site was repeated by @stephaniewalter. Mes chères cointernautes, what would you suggest as an anser?

@gillyberlin @vasilis @stephaniewalter Yes, nice idea. Actually, I don't know that much corporate sites that offer a complete style switch themselves.

Would there be circumstances that you would overwrite a site's styling with your own stylesheet?

I'm having a conversation with a designer about icons. Making a screenreader read "camera" or "microphone" when an icon is shown is trivial with aria-label. But screenreader users are massively outnumbered by sighted users who might be confused by the meaning of a tiny image/ icon. The mighty Paul Annett explains more:

@paul@social.van.buu.re avatar

@brucelawson I recently heard someone describe this little icon as: "a little man with a hat"

Ik weet niet hoe het met jullie is. Maar ik ben nog steeds in shock.

Getrouwd zijnde met een moslimse mevrouw denk ik dat ik minder gerust, laconiek, schouderophalend ben dan mensen zonder moslim onder handbereik.

Ik herhaal even wat @Amoorahnl zei op woensdagavond:

"Ik ben bang voor deportaties."

Deportaties. Dat schreef ik echt, want ik hoorde dat echt. Ik ben voorbij het punt dat ik die angst kan weglachen.

Zeg alsjeblieft niet de komende tijd: "Ach, het zal wel meevallen." Want het valt niet mee, het is de laatste jaren alleen maar erger geworden.

Alarm is nu. Nu is de tijd om arm in arm tegen de fascisten in te gaan.

If you have a personal website: what platform, CMS, SSG, tech stack, or service are you using for it? Would you pick it again? How much technical expertise did it require to set up and make it your own? And do you have to do a lot of maintenance?

Once more – you guessed it – I’m asking for my subscribers. 😉

Nowadays I use plugins to generate static HTML from my WP install.

@danyork I use a paid version of Simply Static:

IMHO for one time generation of a static website the free plugin should work as well.

I might have turned my wacky "Pentagram User Centric Design Process" into a holographic sticker. I mean, I had to, right?

More information here (also available as shirts and other fun swag): https://stephaniewalter.design/buy-stickers/#ucdpentagram

A holographic sticker, die cut, moving and showing the colors, representing a parody of a design process. There's a white pentacle in the middle on dark background. The word "users" lie in the center of the pentacle. Around it, clockwise, the steps: collect (their souls), empathize (read their minds!), demon(cratize), eat their brain(storm), feed(back) the demon.

paul,
@paul@social.van.buu.re avatar

@stephaniewalter I read ‘feed’ ‘demon’ ‘brain’, because you crossed out ‘back’, ‘strate’ and ‘storm’ on purpose, right?

@koalie I like your drawings, Coralie.

They make me wonder: why and where did I lose the habit of drawing?

paul,
@paul@social.van.buu.re avatar

@koalie
You set an admirable example.

My honest answer to my own question is: "You have other hobbies. You have an iPad addicction. You have books to read. And you have a fear to fail; to not draw as good as you think you are able to."

So that is me talking to myself through you. Thank you, Coralie.
Send the invoice ASAP. :-)
