New tech tip on my website! Readable Email and Web Pages It&#39;s 2024. If you&#39;re still designing websites or email like you would design an 8.5x11&quot; promotional hand-out on a sheet of paper, you really haven&#39;t been paying attention to how people use the internet over the past decade. https://kvibber.com/tech-tips/readable-email/ #webDevelopment #css #usability #accessibility #howTo #techTips

@bhawthorne@infosec.exchange Good point on reader mode! I&#39;ll have to add that to the list! As for image descriptions, I think it depends on the image&#39;s purpose and context. The situation I was thinking of was a (subscribed) ad from a local pizza place, where you can see from the subject, sender, etc. who it&#39;s about and the image is only really an image to get your attention. When the image itself matters, I agree that it should be described. I should update that point...

@yakkoj Right! I can&#39;t believe I left that out! That used to be one of the big things I&#39;d argue for when it came to any kind of formatted email!

I&#39;ve been using the #OnyxBoox Poke3 as my main ebook reader for a couple of years now, mainly because it&#39;s a convenient size, has a clear e-ink display, and can run the Android app for any eBook store. I just wish the touch screen was a bit more responsive. https://kvibber.com/reviews/products/boox-poke3/ There is a newer model -- and another similar-sized reader that&#39;s added back physical page-flip buttons -- but it still feels too early to replace the one I have. #eb...

@sohkamyung The one I have is based on Android 10, so a bit old, but still recent enough to support most current apps. They did release a system update in...I think November last year, which was kind of a surprise. I thought the newer models would be further ahead, but apparently they&#39;re still using Android 11: https://onyxboox.com/boox_page

New post: Using Thunderbird to Move Email to a New Account Thunderbird can move messages from one IMAP account to another. Just drag and drop! But Gmail makes it a bit more complicated. https://kvibber.com/tech-tips/thunderbird-gmail-move/ #computers #email #thunderbird #google #degoogling #gmail #howTo #techTips #defaang

@tantek.com@tantek.com I think there&#39;s a case to be made for deliberately (on the part of the author) ephemeral vs accidentally ephemeral as well. I look through my old social media posts and while some of them are worth preserving, a lot of them aren&#39;t. And of course some people don&#39;t *want* that permanent record. This is where things like Mastodon&#39;s auto-delete feature, and the way you can easily set exceptions to keep some posts online, are useful.

@sohkamyung Very cool! The Page is a bit wider than I expected from the photos on the website, but it&#39;s good to know these apps run well on it. So you can map the buttons for each app? That&#39;s good. One of the things I&#39;d wondered about is whether they&#39;d work with Libby and so on.

@thomasfuchs And they never seem to admit it was their behavior at fault. They&#39;ll always insist that it was some opinion of theirs that the mod is punishing them for, or that the mod just doesn&#39;t like them. Same thing, whether it&#39;s something as consequential as which political party they vote for more often, or trivial like which version of a superhero is their favorite.

New book review on my website! Fuzzy Sapiens, H. Beam Piper ★★★★☆ Continuing the Mad Men approach to ecological space colonization, this sequel explores the growing pains of a company town becoming a democracy, a corporation losing its monopoly, and two species of people figuring out how to live together. https://kvibber.com/reviews/books/fuzzy-sapiens/ #books #hBeamPiper #scienceFiction #space #colonization #capitalism #corporatism #ecology #review

@dtgeek I don&#39;t buy many these days - just the ones I plan on rewatching. Last one I bought at Best Buy (just before they stopped carrying them), and a couple of days ago I preordered Lower Decks S4 from Target.

Finally consolidated my notes on things I&#39;ve done to get the #PineTab2 working (mostly) the way I want it to. Some gathered from the forums, some that I noticed and/or figured out myself. https://kvibber.com/tech-tips/pinetab2/ #Linux #Tablet #LXQt #arm64 #ArchLinux
