Agreed! But using Times New Roman should still be criminally punishable — it kills our children and destroys ecosystems. It was discovered in the underground labs in Sibera and has been used to oppress the freedom-loving people all around the globe ever since! How long are we going to tolerate this, we have to stand up and fight 😡

Besides, computer screen resolutions have increased drastically, but sans serif fonts still dominate the UIs, modern printed manuals also use them and look really cool — doesn't give you the impression of being printed in the eighties.

There used to be an explanation for this based on the fact that computer screens have lower resolution and that made serif fonts look ugly — I kid you not, that was the dominant theory about two decades ago. But I think that's bullshit of course — serifs appeared long before quality printing was even achievable, you kinda have to use them when you're using a chisel to carve letters in stone 🤷

But that's a sans serif font! Serifs are those decorative… spike thingies on letters — fonts that have them are serif fonts: ugly, bleh 🤮, don't like them. Those that don't have them are SANS serif — really neat, my love ❤️

CSS is great to slap over an already existing design and shape it more to your liking. It was originally a tool for that: interchangeable styles. You weren't supposed to do the whole site layout in it. What we have today is due to people using it wrong.

@theorytoe @DrRyanSkelton
And without the ugly serifed fonts — the most important part to me TBH
In any case, I think we should start the #NoCSS movement and abolish CSS 🤪

Hello there! You're working for a company the name of which is synonymous to surveillance, but "Oh noes, it's being used by Israel! It's against our principles!"— what a bunch of fucking hypocrites!

Cocksucker Guide? 🤔
Yeah — that's what I thought too: it checks out! But no, it's an actual gay site — so it's "cock sucker" in a different sense. Kinda odd, ain't it?
In any case, Mojeek's results are very insightful 🤣
When you write a snarky comment, but ultimately decide against posting it because you realise that the one you're replying to might get genuinely offended by it…
Should I even be telling a PHP developer that it was never was supposed to be a programming language, but a HTML preprocessor that people started using wrong and apparently went too far with it?
Okay, let them find that out the hard way 😏

I mean when you have to state the intent in a non-roundabout way, and get rejected equally clearly. Oh, and all of this done in person! Can people still handle that, now that everything, including the romance, got so commotified? 🤔

Does anyone want to hire me for sysadmin stuff like setting up webservers, services and such? That and/or Perl programming.
I had to pay lots of bills this month and I need some extra cash for the necessary stuff. Or a donation if you're feeling extra generous. I can do Paypal or Revolut or crypto. #mutualaid #getfedihired

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
