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. :disabled_heart:

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

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.

what ever happened to truetype pixel hinting anyway why did we forget how to make scalable fonts that don't need antialiasing?

are there any options for pixel-perfect no-anti-aliasing fonts like windows did in 1995 on a 2025 system

it's somehow incredibly hard to make 2025 linux display perfect bitmap fonts which seemed to be a solved problem for the 1984 macintosh
