#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance.

But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice.

Like:
- Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- Principal Product Manager, Generative AI

Wait, are they hiring for something elseβ€―than AI ?

Glad you asked:

New blog post! This time I'm taking a look at fonts. I ran into a floppy disk containing a pair of extremely cute dingbat fonts - a tokusatsu helmet alphabet, and a set of decorative lucha mask characters. They're well-designed and very detailed.

so, today i learned that BIC ran an advertisement campaign 10 years ago, one that actually yielded something interesting, a font that was an average sum of people's handwriting! it was called the "universal typeface experiment"

...but the campaign got taken down the year after, and it was extremely hard tracking down the fonts for the longest time.

so, someone on reddit randomly popped up with a sketchy download link to it, so i snagged it and plopped it on internet archive so that this shit doesn't get lost lmfao

I often go on long walks around my neighborhood for exercise. And I often see ridiculously huge trucks or SUVs parked on the street.

These monstrosities are not only ugly, they're also extremely dangerous.

But fortunately, Jen Sorenson (@jensorensen) has a solution!

Looking for fediverse server recs, boosts welcome! With Cohost shutting down, I'd like to find a home for Solitary Quest, my project where I sporadically play and review solo/journaling games.

Eventually I'll make a website, but it'd be nice to have a place to share links to my posts. Somewhere related to TTRPGs, probably? Good moderating and such required, of course.

Thanks!

what's a good Linux desktop/window manager/environment for a low resolution landscape touch screen

lxde randomly makes things (like the shutdown panel) have 0.5pt text and still not fit the screen because it's vertical

Golfshrine followers: I have an RSS feed now!

This is 100% hand-written, but validates more or less fine and appears to work correctly in Feeder, so I think it's ready for prime time. Follow my journey to collect the unending torrent of cheap old virtual golf in your RSS reader of choice!
