What if crosswalks were default open to pedestrians, and car drivers had to press a button to go through the intersection instead of vice versa

‪i don't want everyone to go back to old computers, i do want everyone to be able to have a computer that empowers them for creative ends, that gets out of their way, and that is as good at running 30-year-old creative tools as it is at running whatever the hot new thing is‬

Don't. Ever. Publish. Stuff. That. ONLY. Supports. Dark. Mode.

I mean, I know a LOT of people love dark mode, and given the benefits that darkening interfaces provides... I get it.

But there are some people (like me) who may be visually impaired. Astigmatism, for example, can make reading text that is white on dark a real PITA. An effect known as "halation" occurs, where each letter behaves as if it were a flashlight, gaining its own halo of light and making all text read more blurry than normal.

No matter how good your glasses are, astigmatism still causes you to see a little blurry—it's something you get used to. But this damn effect makes all the text read as if you don't have your glasses on, or even worse, leading to much more tired eyes or even pain.

For everyone's sake, if you really care about accessibility, respect user preferences. If you want a dark interface by default, offer a light version if the user specifies it (in web design, this would be prefers-color-scheme: light). The same goes for light interfaces.

I'm a few thousand dollars away from being able to pay my bills this month, but the most important thing I need to pay for is my health insurance: I've got meds I can't afford without it and an upcoming CT scan.
If you can donate a few dollars or more, that'd really help! Thanks!

Today I learned that the Alien franchise is owned by Disney, which means that every xenomorph egg that hatches, being a daughter of the xenomorph queen, is technically a Disney princess

I am once again begging people to create written manuals on websites for software-y things they make, and not just video tutorials. Tutorials are not reference guides, and videos are not ctrl+F -able.

Bunch of professional engineers followed me on my main Twitter acc recently so i can't post indulgent doodles like this there for a lil while(this is a real problem that matters)
