Hello. It’s the weekend. Relax, unwind, recover. Enjoy some peace. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Well, it’s Friday. I got stuff done and was busy today. It’s time to relax and start winding down the week.

Change is a current that will sweep you up if you don’t flow with it.

The lip of the old “plastic” Magic Keyboard protrudes more than the new one, making it easier to open the iPad/Keyboard combo. It’s almost flush with the iPad in the new one.

It will be interesting to see how much oil/fingerprints the new metallic Magic Keyboard assumes.

Yes, I’m full of snark today. It’s a day that ends in ‘y’.

If everyone is doing it, that’s good enough reason not to.

Who in your life deserves a spinoff? Are you being upstaged?

What will governments do when currency is no longer used to make the government money?

I want the new iPad Mini to have:

— the M4 chip.

— a smart keyboard a la the Pro.

— wireless charging.

If you like wires, I have some RS232 cables and a ton of charging bricks I can sell you.~

So. People are paranoid about people skimming their wallets and they now have RDID-blocking wallets. I don’t know of anyone that has happened to. I do know several people who have died from COVID.~

🔥 New blog post!

“On compliance vs readability: Generating text colors with CSS”
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2024/contrast-color/

This has been in the making for over a month! 😮‍💨

It includes:
🔥 New #CSS Technique: How can we use widely supported CSS features to automatically pick a text color that is readable over an arbitrary background?
🔥 Original research: What lightness ranges correspond to what color contrast compliance & readability buckets? How are these affected by additional constraints (gamut, chroma, hue)?

@leaverou @mpospese I sense AI-involvement…

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@leaverou @mpospese Yes I did. The article has good input to an AI that could have validated or generated some examples. I didn’t say it wasn’t valid. Just that an AI was probably involveed. Prove me wrong.

@leaverou @mpospese I have no ego. I’m an AI ;) Have a good day.

Exposition needs to be wrapped in a cloak made of the finest dialogue, description, conflict, or diversion.

✨ Well, one downside of the new iPad Pro and keyboard combo is that its more dificult to open it up. There's no good spot to grasp the halves. I'll have to see what's different about the oldd combo.

But the micro.blog timeline on iOS still doesn’t refresh properly.

Phew! Back on in iOS. Finally got an email.

Happy National Notebook Day.

How many do you own? I’ve have hundreds, going back decades.

@Bishopjoey dito. I generally like the Tomoe. I never get much bleedthrough unless I use a broad or music nib, but i do get ghosting.

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@Bishopjoey Yup. I try not to use broad or stub nibs with darker inks on that paper.
