Disabled people in the UK have had a hard day (the government is stepping up its attempts to social murder us again), maybe give them a bit of cash to buy a pizza or pay a bill or something, people could sure use something nice happening to them now.
In fact if you're a disabled person in the UK and you need mutual aid right now, put your links here and I'll boost them. 
got an Olivetti Lettera 82, it was already in decent shape but i had to obsess over aligning some of the characters that had gotten misaligned over the years (not shift alignment, forming type bars for horizontal alignment). this included soldering the U type slug entirely since it came clean off
not awful for the first time, i think

the year is 2055. xorg is now maintained by the rust4linux project. wayland has added a 78th method for sending text to applications. google chrome is a kernel module. you can make opengl calls via ioctl. your MacBook 7080 has more legal rights than you do. 3 billion devices run java.
has anyone made a #globaltalk counterpart for windows 98 yet
i tried looking at the page about how to join #globaltalk and it seemed very focused only on people with 24/7 online desktops and not very open otherwise
can you still play in #globaltalk if all you have is an ibook g3 and you're not online 24/7 hosting anything or do only people with servers get to play
@anna do you want us to ship it from the uk? international shipping is weirdly cheap here
@madewokherd yeah someone else was telling me about OTB fonts, i just need to find a great big archive of them now
"why are you on debian oldstable" because 12 doesn't support mesa-amber and even if it did the R100 drivers on it are broken and unlikely to ever be worked on again
@madewokherd the regular looks fine but the bold's kerning is all over the place, which is what i remember from the last time i tried this
given i'm not on gnome or kde i'm just asking for trouble for going off the beaten path and not having that window, either
@ludonaut modern linux is making it harder and harder not to just daily windows 98 on this old thinkpad!
what ever happened to truetype pixel hinting anyway why did we forget how to make scalable fonts that don't need antialiasing?
@js i like that font for terminal but i wish modern linux could do variable width bitmap fonts for gui like windows did in 1995 with ms sans serif
@madewokherd why do linux users hate perfectly aliased bitmap fonts
this is why we can't have 1024x768 computers anymore, every font takes half my screen
@blp (as in, they don't show up as options)
@blp i know about those but i think i cannot use them as GUI fonts (on NsCDE at least, which is GTK/QT integrated)
