👴💻 "Old eyes" Tyler crafts a cutting-edge innovation: a border around your active window! Finally, a solution for those who find the #macOS design as distinguishable as a chameleon at a rainbow party. 🚀🙄 Customizable borders? Revolutionary! Or, you know, Terminal commands for that signature "What does this even do?" user experience. 😂

A question for both personal focus and effective screen space: When you're (temporarily) only interested in a part of the space (a pane(l), div, selection) that a website or native application occupies, is there a way to watch only that and not the rest? A window manager perhaps? #oldEyes #a11y

Slashdot's text color is #363636 (default light theme).

Slashdot... why do you hate me? Would it kill you to just make your text BLACK??

You know I love you, @thunderbird, but I was certain I had a big, ugly smudge on my monitor for a second there. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

While working on assembling my radio kit, I was reminded of something I use that is retroactively obvious. A magnifier headlamp. Pictured. Like 20 bucks on Amazon, five different sets of lenses of various powers, LED light, seems to be pretty well constructed. The same headlamp seems to be sold under several different brands. If you're bifocals have more focal lengths than your radio has bands you need these. I waited far too long. Once you have them all kinds of uses. #t41 #kitbuilding #oldeyes

Glad to see UX designers working with educators on the design of parent messaging apps! 😁😁😁 Yes! Reply *is* the tiny button right next to delete.

I love the smell of #Acrylics in the morning! Must remember which is Espresso Martini, and which is for cleaning brushes. #MiniPainting #OldEyes #3DPrinting Looks like I will be doing some stairs and doors next. #DungeonTiles

When you spend 10 mins trying to remove a hair from your shirt only to realize it’s been an eye floater the entire time. #OldAF #OldEyes #OldPeopleProblems

My aging eyes were struggling with the font and font size in Visual Studio 2022.

Now, I'm struggling to pick a new option -- so many choices that are perfectly mediocre. I'm happy with the text editor font I've selected (JetBrains Mono) - it's for "everything else" that I need a larger and more readable font. (Menus, solution explorer, etc.)

Segoe UI, which I've used in the past -- feels much too wide at larger sizes.

Suggestions welcomed.

Top tip if your varifocals seem wrong: ask the optician to check your frames. There's some arm bendy wizardry they do, I don't understand it, but I'm pleased it works! #Varifocals #ICanSeeClearlyNow #OldEyes

Doing a bit of arty #craft and really wishing I’d got the bifocal glasses when I upgraded the other month. #OldEyes #squinty 😬

I won't say I could not do fine circuit board work without these, but it sure would be a lot harder. A bunch of folks selling essentially the same thing on Amazon, and they are inexpensive!
