Oh, I get the business side of it. I don’t get people wanting this, but I guess I’m just not into showboating, like you said.

I know he also didn’t want a bigger one, you’re “supposed to” use the bypass method. Which works really well, in my experience.

The good cheap brewer, but expensive. I don’t get it. Help?

The other side of this is I’m more likely to end up educating the driver all about blindness and low vision on the way. Oh well.

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

Are you my coworkers?

Right, as an instance admin, I’m very confident I can avoid Facebook’s mistakes. I don’t have the same motivations.

No, registers and bit-wise manipulation. In a Minecraft server running in the browser.

With enough zooming, even I can tell it’s the same profile picture. Wow.

That’s good, but you’re still the perfect of that meme where the stick figure is looking at the computer while the weather changes outside the window. By your account, that is.

Since it sounds like that’s a source of stress or unease for you, I think you could experiment with a “month of drawing” of “month of evening bike rides” or something like that. I love problem-solving and development, so it’s easy to look for that thrill outside of work too, but you may find a different thrill that gives you more variety and you also find rewarding.

In my case, I often get away from computers by going out on photo walks. Then I get home and stare at my photos on the computer. Hehe. It’s good to have that outlet all the same.

I work from home, most days, so I was doing that while staring at the same monitor and typing on the same keyboard.

After catching myself on the way to burning out, I was advised to stop working on time and go work out or take a walk - something physical to mentally change modes.

I agree with all the advice here to get a different hobby or touch grass.

You’re right, while our efforts target different groups, the survey was particularly focused on vision.

I’m really glad it’s working for you!

I’m not sure what you mean about OP color. It’s the same blue as links, no?
