@skye @n8 @Tusky agreed that customization is the key to accessibility. that other person was technically not wrong; but if Tusky is gonna add it; they should consider including actually useful variable fonts

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do

which, again, gives the user a greater array of accessibility options the devs won't necessarily have to hard code

am as anti-Google as they come but FONTS it's the only thing they got right in the last 10 years. Noto, Droid & Roboto cover a lot of smartphones

@blogdiva @n8 @Tusky yeah it sounds like a useful addition! though for me neither of those 3 includes anything i can read, they are too regular. so they certainly do not cover the full range of accessibility needs.

i had to actually spend money in that samsung store thing to get fonts on my phone and tablet that i can read, since they removed the chocolate cookie font that they used to come with 😞

@skye @n8 @Tusky am so mad about Samsung i can't even express my disgust and disappointment. i used to be able to root their phones and do all the UI/UX stuff i needed. Trump came and they obvs got paid off to backdoor phones in the US & Canada because it's impossible to do so anymore if you buy your phones here.

but i have a whole list of lo-fi hacks to makes those changes w/o having Samsung fuck with your UI. i gotta get my blog finally up to share that.

@blogdiva yeah i'm definitely not getting another one of those. the devices i have are gonna last a few more years but when they need replacing i am going to go with something that has free software on it, i am really done with this BS
