they should make Jeopardy more like Brainsurge, that nick game show from 15 years ago Okay. We all need to have a chat about boosting Impact font memes. We are very nearly in 2025, the grace period of acceptability is over. If it would not look out of place on Facebook circa 2010, do not engage with it. To put it in more familiar terms, it is not le epic bacon sauce. Thank you for your attention. ay what’s up we’re chumbawumba and you’re watching Chumba in da Wumba. only on disney channel 😎 BUM Bum BUM bum  @samhenrigold did you go last year? What’d you think? (Am I allowed go if I’m a diehard Sketch fan?) i’ve owned a mac for maybe 14 years now and I don’t think it has ever successfully updated automatically overnight. always some bullshit like Spotify was open or the moon phase was not conducive to updating  @samhenrigold mine is always iTerm2 because I’ve just never bothered to change the setting where it prompts before quitting open sessions 😅 Mastodon: Bluesky is Bad, actually It’s like a shit version of West Side Story. how long before a Mastodon user and a Bluesky user fall in love while communicating exclusively over the fedi bridge

   bash on ubuntu on windows rolls off the tongue too easily. how about “bash on ubuntu on windows of latter-day saints presbyterian hospital of special surgeries (home premium edition service pack 2)” in fifth grade they had a stress coach come in and give us tips on managing stress in middle school. and one of them was sticking your hand out at a teacher and telling them “I need you to stop. You're stressing me out. Let's count to ten together.” I would not be standing (sitting) here today if I did that good lord. so aggressively low context but also it kinda serves i request that you all gloss over the fact that the american educational system would sooner hire a stress coach for 11 year olds before they let go of their beloved standardized testing  @CatsOfYore really glad most people have given up thinking that putting fabric on a toilet seat is even a remotely good idea 😆   you do not understand how much iced tea i would consume if arizona had an unsweetened version. pure leaf but enormous and 99¢  @samhenrigold omg yes, liquid death iced tea is really good and close to unsweet in the meantime (i know it technically exists in the world but it’s not remotely as available as the classic blue cans. and if it’s not easily available what’s even the point)  @samhenrigold does unsweetened include diet? At that point can't you just make it yourself?

 First (thinner) is Windows ClearType, second is macOS Quartz. Both are screenshots of the Imperial (NYT) font on Chromium. Personally, I prefer the Mac grayscale antialiasing. Windows’ fringing and freakish devotion to cramming everything into a neat pixel grid always looked wrong to me. https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/113501076364481804  @samhenrigold I like macOS’ rendering better too. FreeType on Linux as configured in Ubuntu and Fedora look pretty similar to macOS rendering (though antialiasing and hinting are more tweakable there). ClearType’s aggressive pixel snapping made more sense back when really bad low resolution LCDs were common (low pixel density == hard to read with mac style rendering) but these days even cheap laptops have ok-enough screens that it’s not really necessary.  @samhenrigold interestingly, I like the thinner one on a non-high-res image like this where I can see the pixels. But on a high-dpi display (which I'm almost always using) the macOS rendering wins every time. Would be curious to see a rendering method that uses both subpixel-rendering (the blues and the reds) -and- gray anti-aliasing. |
