Try using google maps outside on your phone when the ambient light is above 3 candelas.
It didn't take me long to dump that garage and install Osmand.

Actually, it's something they just copied from TV commercials (i.e., the hell-spawn known as marketing) with fine print they really really really don't want to read.
Coming to mind: Senior insurance for $9.95/month: amazingly tiny light blue text on a medium blue (but not solid color) background.
By the way - even if you got your wish - can you read 15 lines of fine print in the 3 or 4 seconds they give you? Maybe it's better you don't even notice it's there.

It (soft grey unfocussed fonts on a softer background) is a really annoying thing. Too much of the modern 'design' approach, and not enough 'accessibility' considerations.
There are many web site I just won't read, because they are too hard. It's the same problem as having very small print.
Maybe a few more reports to one's local disability discrimination authority and accessibility services may help raise awareness.

I agree, easier to go elsewhere, but if you absolutely, positively have to read the text on that website, select the text. They tend to forget to style that use case, so it gets left at the default white on blue... viola.. readability

Definitely a millennial! We are putting our house on the market and the real estate agents we have spoken with suggest light to very light grey in order to appeal to millennial buyers......

How many millennial buyers can afford your house?

Seems that married millennial's, with children, engineering, accounting, or business degrees, can pony up the big money to buy more expensive dwellings.

First of all, it would be better to sacrifice him or her, not to him or her.
Second, this reminds me of why I quit trying to read "Wired" back when magazines were a thing.
Yellow font on white, gray on grey, artsy-fonts in 3 point fonts... when folks get so artsy and ignore readability, I'm not going to fight to read their magazine/website/app. The probability that someone that stupid in presentation of information is actually going to have something I need to know approaches zero pretty darn fast.

android studio is the worst out of the box so far I've used. took me forever to find a decent theme with good contrast. my dyslexia isn't as bad with dark backgrounds and light text, like the visual studio dark theme seems to work well.
too many editors are grayish on grayish, it's pretty but causes way too much eye strain.

I think there is a misspelling in your post. You need to make a sacrifice of him.

And, while we're at it, how many versions of windows 7 have?
And what can we infer from this?

I expect my dates to provide their own support.

All my previous dates I had to provide support all I could get were blind, crippled or crazy so you can see my conundrum!
I do all my own stunts, but never intentionally!

The fifth version is about to go off support[^], leaving two versions supported: the one that just got proclaimed safe to use (1809), and 1803. Not counting long term support releases. And soon the release they’ll start Beta testing in “late May”.
As for Weven, I think they’re all on paid support these days. Which means... uhm, two? (Release and SP1)

Almost.
Weven's supported until January 2020[^].
Windows 8 is done and dusted.
Five versions of winio are either booted or being booted from support.
So we're currently on windows 15, with only 7, 14, and 15 supported -- and 14, 15, and 16 will also probably go out of support before weven.
So the same amount of versions that came after weven are out of support as versions before weven.
If that doesn't make it clear that even ms thinks windows 8 and winio are cr@p, I don't know what does

Pity is... it has no consequence... they still continue with their crap filosophy and getting their product even worse with each new version

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's probably trickier than that, given that cumulative updates are still being released every month for everything except for 1507 (NOT LTSB) and 1607.

Except for the fact that I still see updates coming through WSUS for 1703 and 1709. I'd say those two versions are still supported, which would make sense as they're less than two years old.
Now, for the flip side, how long is the support life for Android versions?

Expect the same changes coming to a cloud version near (and dear) to you.
