🤦♂️ Behold, a terminal compositor that looks like it was rendered by a typewriter on LSD 😵💫! Marvel at the ASCII gibberish that somehow demands a serious #discussion, while offering as much #readability as a brick wall 📜➡️🧱.

Why Fonts Look Better on macOS Than on Windows, by @uxdesigncc:

I recently discovered that my favorite dark theme is actually more harmful to my eyes than the classic black text on a white background. Better readability = less strain on the eyes = less fatigue = better overall! 😊 Today, I spent the whole day switching all my devices to light mode and installing more readable fonts. Feeling great about this change!
In any case, I can always return to the dark side if I want! 😉

Color Contrast and Readability: The Cornerstones of Accessible Design, by (not found on Mastodon or Bluesky):
https://afixt.com/color-contrast-and-readability-the-cornerstones-of-accessible-design/
I'm once again looking for a read-it-later/article archive tool. I think I've tried them all by now and I'm amazed that for such a basic task there's no good solution. I think my demands are very reasonable:
– article content extraction (not just bookmarks) and comfortable reader
– full text search over the entire archive
– website and Android app with synchronization between them
– not a whole lot of random unrelated features like todo lists or whatever thrown in for no reason
I was using Pocket for many years and even paid for the "premium" (which basically got me a few extra fonts because the "premium" features like tag suggestions didn't work), however Pocket got worse and worse at article extraction, to the point where it just opened to website instead of showing the extracted text for more than half of the saved articles. Also no one seems to actively work on it it seems. Pretty much the same problems with Instapaper. I tried Feedly and Inoreader which kinda works I guess but they're primarily RSS readers, which I don't need. raindrop.io does extract article texts but shows them only in the Android app, in a browser it'll still open the website, also the full text search doesn't work reliability. Then there's Wallabag but that seems very Alpha and I don't want to host the service myself. Tried a bunch more which I can't remember right now.
As a temporary solution I'm now saving articles to @notesnook since I'm using that for notes anyway. Article extraction works alright but there's no way to archive notes, so it's all cluttered with articles now and I can barely find my own notes anymore.
If anyone knows of a tool that reliably does all the things mentioned above, please let me know!

@TheQuinbox nodds in agreement to me "#AI" coding ruins the #readability, #maintainability and #auditability of the #sourcecode, and I do require this.

📉 Did ChatGPT make scientific texts harder to read? A new study analysed over 2 million abstracts from #arXiv (2010–2024) to track changes in their readability. Using 4 classic #readability metrics, the author found a clear shift: in 2023–2024, abstracts became significantly more complex than ever before.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2025.101679
The author is cautious: while the rise in complexity closely aligns with the release of #ChatGPT the study doesn't claim a causal link.
The Braille institute has a free #font specifically designed for #readability. I have been using it for a while (including powerpoint, latex, my blog) and find it useful not only to support those with impaired vision, it is also quite good at separating easy to mix up characters, e.g., i, I, 1, l, or O, 0, which we often use in equations & co:
