- Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work? 1 day ago:
It happened a few years ago and I’m not keen on repeating the experience just to analyse it further … soon even I won’t remember it anymore
- Comment on What if rogue Ai agents or other bad actors take over these 2? 1 day ago:
My and countless other websites that do not rely on that shit would float to the top. Yay!
- Comment on What if rogue Ai agents or other bad actors take over these 2? 1 day ago:
I’m pretty sure curl is developed by a team these days even if Steinberg is project leader. And he doesn’t do it for free anymore. But your point stands.
I also seem to remember that “random person from Nebraska” from the original XKCD is real. Oh yes, ImageMagick. Here’s an interesting article that also seems to reflect OP’s edit:
Except the random person in Nebraska has been replaced by AWS, Google Cloud, or whoever caused the outage this week. And that kind of bothers me, because it misses the point entirely.

ligatures, having != (not equal), <= (smaller or equal to), == (equal),
Oh yeah I forgot about those. Those make perfect sense in a coding font, but I have seen “fi” or “ff” etc. together in 1 character cell and it’s completely unusable.

I will go on hating Comic Sans for other reasons.
- Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work? 1 day ago:
mono space font with ligature
I always wondered what the point of that is, so I’m keen to hear your opinion! (Although I already sense where this goes given the topic.)

Thanks, I hate it.

very common as marine motors
Oh yeah, I thought I had seen that brand before. Big marine shop on my way to work, some years ago.

Well. It’s not their fault. Nice coincidence though. This one’s pretty new btw.

Indeed. Thanks.

my phone battery life has been greatly improved
It’s a truism amongst gapps-free ROM and also all sorts of adblock users.

Probably in the shape of glowsticks that you’re supposed to … I think I’m going to stop there.
I wonder which grifter “friend” Trump was trying to help out when he said that should be good against Covid.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
But you can’t sell sunshine. There must have been some contraption that you can buy for only $299?
Anyhow, yeah, antivaxxers, covid deniers, doomers, nazis - they’re all in it for the grift.

Hmm.
- AI bots clearly haven’t taken over yet and I don’t think they ever will, in a SkyNet sort of meaning. BUT it is important to point out the dangers, agentic or not!
- The government of the USA objectively hasn’t collapsed yet. But it could happen any day now. And again, it is important to raise awareness of how dysfunctional it has become.
I can think of many more examples of “bad stuff”, each different.
What they have in common is that people warn about them in terms “we’re on the verge of desaster” because that’s one way to raise awareness of looming danger while at the same time stressing that we can still do something to avoid it. - Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Unclear: who wants to sun their anus, you or the people behind you?
And are they behind you right now (pic) or earlier, presumably on public transport?
Anyhow, unfortunately this is nothing new to me. A former partner used to do it and later Trump suggested it as a cure for Covid.

In Finland? yeah. When I lived in the city I had a safer one, but here in the boons it’s exactly the model above. For the front door.

Bellingcat
- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 2 weeks ago:
Can you define corporate bias? I’m not disagreeing but it just sounds a bit vague. That the outlets themselves are (owned by) corporations?
There’s plenty public media in most countries, possibly not corporate depending on your definition.

So this is just a Nintendo Switch 2 console with some Zelda-themed stuff printed on?

I don’t have an answer to your question but I tend to agree with what you wrote.
However - is fingerprinting the only thing to worry about on the www? I’d say not.
Disabling javascript by default is a good way to be able to click links without running the risk of getting pwned by some rogue script.
Then I use an addon that shows me all the 3rd party shit the site would’ve wanted to load, and if it looks OK to me I then enable javascript. The addon can remember this if I want to, so I don’t have to do it every time for that particular site.
Esp. with news articles js is often not even required to read the article itself. Or I can see content that becomes invisible when js is enabled.
FWIW, the developers of Tor browser are experts in being anonymous online, and they disable js by default.

I mean that basically says it all, but what is the tl;dw of the video?
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 4 weeks ago:
I guess they’re going to have to change to a non-org domain.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Everything is available at inventati.org!
Since I solely use their aliases on other domains, which are not (yet) blocked, I guess I got lucky for now.
But my will to protest has been awoken. - Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for sharing my sentiment.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. What worries me even more is that one cannot complain; the links on this page, to the actual complaint forms, are invalid.
