If anyone else is having trouble loading the CSS for the page, go to https://www.blender.org/wp-content/themes/bthree/style.css?x... to be Captcha'd by Cloudflare - it should load fine after that.

Thanks it worked but... lol the style doesn't even add anything, it just makes it harder to read by lowering the contrast of the page.

It's actually funny, the lack of styling actually makes consuming the info alot easier.

The page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.

> objectively

I do not think that word means what you think it means

All art is a combination of objective and subjective aspects.

The objective improvements from css here include: shorter lines are easier to read (per multiple legibility studies), the styling distinguishes navigation and secondary site elements from the main content (without css you get a half screen of navigation links), and the visual importance of in-page anchor links is reduced.

Apple, AMD , Intel, NVIDIA, ILM are companies who have contributed or continue to contribute to Blender development.

What did ILM work on? I'm looking but I can't find anything regarding them even using Blender at any point, nevermind contributing back to it. Blender has seen more success than most open source art tools but it still seems to be relegated to individuals and small studios, while the ILMs of the world continue to be neck deep in commercial or bespoke tooling.

ILM contributed some changes to the color wheel. Frederico highlighted it during their SIGGRAPH sessions.

If there are contributors to Blender from the industry, who are they? It's easy to understand how big tech can be contributing to Linux, data processing pipelines, web frameworks, compilers etc. but it's harder to see who has both the skills and incentives for design tools. Maybe some game studios have the necessary slack?

Pixar contributed OpenSubdiv and may have helped with integration?

MS Edge does the same thing.

Normally I like CSS naked websites. But some of them have multiple SVG icons right at the top that take up the entire width of the page. And that hurts.

Devs: please practice observing your site without css

Yeah the page is currently loading very quickly and is very easy to read due to an issue with Cloudflare. Edit: If I'm honest, I find this specific css fairly innocuous. I have a more general grudge that raw HTML is easy, free and accessible but we collectively insisted that it's not OK to use it.

Except I like to have some margin. And since I have a wide screen, the number of words per line is too large.
