A cacophony, to be sure.

I’m upvoting this because it gives me the shivers to imagine. It would definitely be something.

So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I’m also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

/shrug

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

For legalization, but historically toed the party line.

Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!

Good ol’ hanlon’s razor.

So that’s why they’re called “rolling” releases!

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing “xitter” being used, is it safe to assume it’s pronounced “shitter”?

The cable tv version of die hard 2 that we taped as kids was “Mr. Falcon”.

They’re required by some dog boarding/daycare places.

Me too! (I actually found it on mastodon)

Oh I have no preconceptions about anonymity here, I just don’t want yet another hackable database with my PII that I don’t need to give up. It’s more of an op sec kind of issue (I say as a former cyber security dev).

Fewer is better!

Let’s test a mastodon link instead!

Yep, totally get it. I’ll squeeze by as long as I can for the sake of privacy.

Apparently the issue is cheaters using the self-checkouts according to the employee I talked to.

So now we all have to jump through more hoops instead of having another cashier or two. Ironically, there were extra staff at the door enforcing the scanning.

The scanning is also supposed to bring up your picture for identification.

They don’t have a picture for me on file and gave me crap when I scanned. I just showed them my license and went on my way. I don’t need my face linked to my name all over the internet when they get hacked next year.

But if line doesn’t go up, jobs will be hemorrhaged to protect the investor class and spur more investment.

Late stage capitalism makes me so tired.

This article seems to omit the obvious solution to the same problem with diesel.
