They’re not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
- Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work? 1 week ago:
I haven’t experienced that myself, closest would be the Norwegian æ, but that is its separate letter on the keyboard, like ø and å. I can see why it’d be awful in some contexts though.

When writing programming code, markup, or any other structured text of that sort, it is easier on the eyes and to parse mentally when vertically aligned. At least when reading English characters left to right, top to bottom. (I don’t read much else in that capacity).
Whereas with the written word, letters flow into each other, to give a better reading experience.
As for ligatures, having != (not equal), <= (smaller or equal to), == (equal), === (extra certain we’re equal as we messed up the implementation of ==, but need backwards compatibility) or similar operators show as the symbols they represent (while still maintaining the correct spacing), is more comfortable when ingesting large amounts of code, to me at least.

Neither am I, so I’ve only heard about them. I’m a big fan of the concept, and better accessibility for everyone, though.
However, if anyone needs opinions on a decent mono space font with ligature support I can offer one up!

I’m guessing they mean the standard dyslexia font that’s been passed around for some time, dyslexiefont.com/en/, or maybe since this is Lemmy, this one that has open in it’s name opendyslexic.org

Bottom one is more stop/end computer class, does not imply graduation, though fag is generally used as tradecraft. Which makes the books you use for it fag literature.

It’s the name of the character. The arch nemesis of Father Ted in the series by the same name.

Surely it’s a bad idea to have them so close to the dart holder…

Looks remarkably Swedish. 10/10.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 2 months ago:
I have always thought of it as having just stopped sleeping, but I think it’s been reworked into a slur used on people capable of empathy. I’m still not clear on why empathy is a bad thing though.

Trench Crusades Artillery Witch I believe.

The classic “we have Warcraft III at home”!
- Comment on Blocking 3 months ago:
Works really well with summit. Blocking words is very nice when someone is posting a comic strip I don’t like to a comic strip community like it is going out of style.
Requires them to have the title of it in their post though, which thankfully they do.
Now if only I found a way of blocking the drawings some people seem hell bent on posting to cute animal picture communities I’d be soooop happy.

Beware of Scots in warpaint for the foreseeable future. There’s a reason it’s called “Scotland’s other national drink”.
Other than that, heaps of reasons to have it delivered indeed. When I broke my ankle it’s how I got my groceries.

Ah, the classic “two cocks in the same canoe”. A workaround is using bigger sausages.

- Comment on All Social Medias Track Urls 5 months ago:
Using Firefox, you can simply “copy clean link” like mentioned here.
Otherwise, learn about query strings, and make an educated guess.
As for apps on various app stores for cleaning links, I have a general aversion to installing random apps, so I can’t help or recommend anything.
If you want to stop them from tracking you, nothing you do to the link will stop them. This can only prevent sites from seeing who you share their link with. Notice I say can, not will. Even my sleep deprived mind can think of a few different ways to write this functionality without using query strings in an afternoon or less.
- Comment on All Social Medias Track Urls 5 months ago:
Removing all query parameters is not the solution. They can be used for tracking, but not necessarily.
