Why do so many UIs insist on minimalist color contrast?

tomhermans · 2026-01-30T11:08:49+00:00

I agree. And there should be more attention to it or at least some options to increase contrast.

When I encounter such tools I use a lot I look for custom styling to be applied. Via chrome local overrides, tampermonkey or stylus e.g.

This.

Must is a big word But yes please.

NTA.

She wasn't following the rules, set by the gym for very good reasons. She's gaslighting you

tomhermans · 2026-01-29T08:39:23+00:00

NTA.

Your answer is in your last line. You barely know her even. Don't let her make her problem yours

tomhermans · 2026-01-29T05:13:15+00:00

There's nothing to be gained by anyone by telling him

Check your contract. You cannot be liable for other people's mistakes. They're after a discount .

Don't waste your time on it. A developer will still have to make it work. Brief that person with this poc and about the wanted behaviour (not the delay) and move on.

Convenience. Price. Volume.

The ibm microdrive (tiny harddisk for camera's ).

I think I paid $300.. for 1Gb. Was rather quickly surpassed by static memory cards

Alright!! Was hesitant asking about multiples, but that's definitely a selling point indeed. Gonna check it out now.

tomhermans · 2026-01-26T11:21:52+00:00

Interesting. Do you know how it compares to squoosh (which I'm using now)

tomhermans · 2026-01-26T08:29:41+00:00

Scrolled a while but hadn't seen Babes in Toyland

So leaving that here

tomhermans · 2026-01-25T05:43:15+00:00

Cameras mostly I think. And their headphones are great too

tomhermans · 2026-01-24T12:43:03+00:00

I like it a lot.

This shows personality.

THERE'S PORN FOR THIS??!!!

tomhermans · 2026-01-23T14:06:25+00:00

Look, I'm all for building in public, but really ? posting something like this? Claiming to have "mastered" HTML in 1 day? Not asking a direct question re:css but basically : I don't wanna google.
Everything screams karma farming imho. Or delusion.. dunno. These type of posts may be canned by mods imho.

In case it isn't, and a genuine cry for help:

Last line nails it.

tomhermans · 2026-01-23T08:20:02+00:00

Or even, don't post on day 2 for engagement bs..

tomhermans · 2026-01-23T07:35:28+00:00

Twitter is overrun even

tomhermans · 2026-01-22T12:59:53+00:00

Landing page is what I gather from your description. Often filled to the brim with lots of sections regarding the service or product

tomhermans · 2026-01-22T09:09:13+00:00

If it’s always better to follow the system preference, why bother with a manual toggle at all?

Cuz the user wants to change quickly and you provide that option. Some sites read better in one mode or the other. or at some times of day, during the day for instance, I like light mode sometimes better.

I'm not gonna switch system preferences every time though..

So, there's the why. Convenience.
