Well this was a pleasant surprise - I just updated to Fedora Linux 41 and fractional scaling is available out of the box! Everything looks really crisp, even Electron apps! That's fantastic!! Thank you!

Screenshot of the "Displays" setting page in Fedora 41 with the Scaling dropdown open. It has values from 100% to 275% with increments of 25%

Firefox, Chrome, Signal, Krita, Inkscape... my gosh, I've got so much more *screen* with the new fractional scaling option at 150%! And no fans going off either; it seems efficient and it all looks so crisp! My #Framework laptop feels like a whole new beast!

Sent my public #Pixelfed profile to my sister the other day. "Ohhh, what is this, is this like a social media where they don't track you? Because I am so tempted to give up Instagram. This is so cute!"
My sister is in no way a tech nerd or particularly big on data privacy, and has been a heavy user of Instagram for as long as I can remember.
There are so many people out there who want to post photos and videos important to them online, but are jaded by #Instagram.

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.

* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library.
* Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them.
* Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.

Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app ๐Ÿ™Œ

More progress made!

The WIP icon manager app now renders SVG icons as vector drawings, so they don't get pixellated and appear extra crisp on HiDPi displays.

The search bar is also now visible in the header bar for quick access. It now filters the icons in the currently selected list.

Access Guide is a collection of principles for designing accessible interfaces, made by Alex Chen.

It's created as an introduction to meeting the WCAG 2.1 specifications.

Each principle contains tips on implementation and links to further reading.

Reasonable Colors is an open-source colour system for making accessible colour palettes.

It uses an intuitive system of shades to help you select colours which meet the appropriate WCAG contrast rating, even if you're mixing and matching base colours:
