Qt does render fonts differently than GTK.

He won’t. He’s a has-been in the MAGAsphere. Fucker Carlson, as far as podcasters go, maybe. Or Nick Fuentes. Not AJ though. I know it sounds weird, but give KnowledgeFight a listen, it’s fun. I like the main guys analyses, and they’re always looking at the bigger picture.

They’re both already using Noto Sans

For all/relevant encodings?

Have you considered that maybe Noto developers made a choice there, to render Kanjoi thicker than Chinese characters? I know, that doesn’t explain why Dolphin would render them in a way that is more pleasing to you. Have you tried using other fonts altogether?

I like the attention to detail: him biting his lower lip.

And I believe that detail betrays the whole “Roman Salute” bs - he knew exactly he was being a bad boy.

Every now and then somebody will mention him in a podcast or so, usually in relation to our main guy here, or Alex Jones. Oops, bet you didn’t think about him for a long time either. I have to admit I just love the KnowledgeFight podcast.

bird? bomb?

We’re all just beta testers.

$ fc-match “default font” NotoSans-Regular.ttf: “Noto Sans” “Regular”

That’s not what I meant. You mention differences between dolphin (not ok) and Firefox (ok). So you need to check what they use as default fonts respectively. If there are differences you know what to do.

The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Yiddish, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Chinese, French, Czech and Slovak, and is prevalent in some other languages and dialects. It is a feature of Old English poetry and of the Icelandic sagas and is a means of much stoical restraint.

So not ALL languages? TIL

Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.

TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

I’ve been having the weirdest dreams recently, and of course I remember them all!

• I found a door in a wall, hip height and small, and there was a toilet behind it. OK, I thought, I need to take a shit anyhow. Entered, lowered my pants, and sat down. But due to the small door I did not notice that this room has a second half, with a table and chairs, and my relatives sitting around it. Neither of us minded though, and I continued taking a shit. It was one of those really bad ones that make me use tons of toilet paper. Well, I finished at last and was overcome by endless enbarassment, like what about the smell etc.

• I worked in a school as a substitute teacher and a fire broke out in an area I was responsible for. I did not notice immediately (bad). But one kid did. Instead of simply opening the door to where I was and telling me, he invented a morse machine out of a plastic tube and morsed SOS out the window. I did manage to extinguish the fire, and later all the parents and coworkers came and of course it was all my fault and the kid was the hero of the day.

Feeling super weird after these, but esp. the first one. I didn’t even need to take a shit when I woke up. Like, wtf brain, that’s not one of my major fears!

Thank you for coming to my dream talk.

sweary Aussie drama

I fast forwarded these. I also didn’t like the airport security stuff.

But I like how e.g. they pun on their own age when having these team talks about their programme. Some bits in that section are really timely, and not just because they mention social media. Like one of the younger upstarts being uncomfortable because they aren’t sure if what they just said was transphobic or not. That sort of stuff.

I used to have a static IP at home so I cold run my own physical server. I stuck it under the fridge because there were wall plugs and I didn’t want it in my living room. Hence the name.

It used to serve NFS shares locally, websites and CalDAV/CardDAV globally. A dual-core-but-32-bit stone old intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and never a performance problem.

I have noticed people complaining about this. Looks like a normal newbie who, after a few days of browsing, decided to post several comics in quick succession, then nothing again. Not necessarily bot behavior, since they post in the correct community and the comics are relatively funny and do not ptomote anything.

But then I noticd that there’s several such accounts.

It’s a mystery. One that might be solved by looking at the users’ IP addresses. I can’t, but mods or admins can. So I’m going to trust their judgement.

Some transparency would be appreciated though.

Edit: this community has only one mod. I looked at their posting history; they apparently made a web app to make the lives of mods easier. I also read them mention somewhere that they’d have preferred to just remove an offending comment, but the admins decided to ban that person completely. Maybe these are partial answers to the question OP asked.

weird emotional appeals

“I think we’ve done a lot of damage lately with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative. […] It’s not helpful to people, it’s not helpful to the industry, it’s not helpful to society, it’s not helpful to the governments.”

“Our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We’re just doing it through different channels. […] What’s going on right now is that the TAM [ed: Total Addressable Market] and data center is growing just absolutely tremendously. And we want to make sure that, as a company, we help fulfill that TAM as well.”

IMHO there’s much hobbiness and fun to be had with creating a second or third life for “outdated” hardware. The current RAM crisis leaves me cool, on a 2014 ThinkPad. My kitchen server was a 2008 HP laptop.

Probably just laziness or cluelessness on the side of the seller - item sold or they changed their mind but they’re unable to remove the ad or even mark it as sold.

What does it do? AFAICS the code is the java(pardon,type)script framework for the webpage itself?

Of course, that too can change. From the current README:

What Can Be Changed

Everything. Including these rules.
