 This is a personal story I hope will give web designers and user interface experts some food for thought: my experience with reading digital screens with eyesight degraded by cataract. There may be more users with suboptimal vision than usually thought. https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/paoloamoroso/the-faded-world-my-experience-with-cataract New #webdev concept: The VNC test. If viewing a website over a VNC session uses less data than directly loading it in a browser, it fails the test. Edit: Not a new concept, thank you @cybertailor for this reply!

   @guenther @cybertailor anyway, server-side resources does matter too and just moving rendering to server cannot help in most cases, frontend must be optimized and rewrited from scratch with minimum to be compact Local Bouncepaw Absolutely Destroyed Everything There Is After Trying To Cook Too Much Rice At Once. Been willing to install elementary OS for years. I was waiting for the moment I got a Linux-enabled device. Got one today. Tried to install on the first occasion, and... it didn't work! Also, in the Live USB I found out there was no 125% scaling. Too bad! Went with Linux Mint Cinnamon, for the third time in my life. Boring! But it has 125% scaling and actually got installed on the device. Not in the mood for distrohopping now.   @bouncepaw but this was your chance to become a plan 9 user, or something typically fedi like that :p Исследование Go-разработчиков, 2024 Исследование Go-разработчиков, 2024

Make countless copies and scatter them to the wind. Make each a different format. You don't know which of them will still be readable next decade, so *don't try to guess*. That goes for analog media too. The Library of Alexandria contained copies. Many classic paintings only survived as copies. Copying is how life itself beats death. Embrace it.

 @felix This is exactly the point of the fantastic (FANTASTIC!) book "How the Irish Saved Civilization" (which I just finished).  @felix Yes. The One Giant Archive is for convenience of lookup, not for preservation. |
