Golden eyes see again. A retinal prosthesis with the potential to restore #vision lost or degraded vision due to age-related macular degeneration using gold #nanoparticles, which allows activation of cells in the eye using an infrared laser. Hope it'll work.
Naturally, the visual of it is got me just as interested as the medical implication. Think of the visuals for a Sci-Fi story, ho #writers - the old person with their eye reflecting in gold.

#Web #usability and #accessibility ...

This is from crimethinc.com, but I'm not trying to pick particularly on them. There are many, many, many sites just as bad or worse.

This is a screenshot from an article on their site today, rendered in Firefox (Linux).

See the hair-thin font? See the fact that it's light grey on a white background? There's virtually no contrast between the text and the background.

This is an accessibility nightmare for those with any sort of vision problem. Picking the colour out of the screenshot (I didn't look at the CSS), it appears the text is basically 45% grey. This is ludicrous.

If the font face had some heft, it might be still be half-assed readable with contrast this low.

But as is... If I were to take my contacts out, I wouldn't even be able to tell that this screenshot *had* any of the normal-sized text in it, much less be able to read any of it.

Web designers, I beg you: please consider more than the appearance of what you're creating when you're making design choices.

Remember that not everyone is a 20- or 30-something with near-perfect vision.

Remember that people have cataracts or other types of eye cloudiness which necessitate high-contrast text to be able to read, even if they scale the fonts up by a huge amount.

Remember that vision degrades naturally in people in many ways other than "just wear glasses" can fix.

I’m happy to announce that something I and others have worked on very hard for the past few years has been published by the W3C Advisory Board (AB) and sent to the W3C Advisory Committee (AC) for a vote to make it official:

Vision for W3C: https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/NOTE-w3c-vision-20250402/

Official announcement: https://www.w3.org/news/2025/proposal-to-endorse-vision-for-w3c-as-a-w3c-statement/

If your company is a W3C Member¹, please ask your Advisory Committee Representative² to vote to support publication of the Vision for W3C as an official W3C Statement:

Thank you for your support.

@xankarn I remembered the conversation we had yesterday about this as I read Gary Kasparov’s newsletter today—on this very topic!

He quotes Adm Wm McRaven: “How will we inspire the youth of America to serve? Will we tell them that they are vital cogs in the business transaction? That their sacrifice got us a better deal at the bargaining table?”

2/2 BTW, before writing that, I searched here for other links, found only old reports and *nagging pure*. Yes, I could sell you the report for the disaster risk, the possible tipping points. I could moan about the horrible world situation.
But the report is indeed an instrument to start #change. If you want to change or #resist, you must analyse the dangers. But you need a #vision, a #goal you want wo engage for!
For me, a great example for #narratives. We don't get change by nagging but acting!
