  • TIL if you google 'Comic Sans', the search results webpage will change font to Comic Sans

  • There are better fonts now for people with dyslexia. I think ADHD and dyslexia are different things though, there's no specific ADHD font.

  • It's the fact they did not include all of CJK characters in their fancy new Roboto font, so we need to have several .ttf files for all languages.

  • In Russia, bad hackers are promoted to infantry. They also cannot make a decent living elsewhere, because they are conscripted and cannot leave the country.

  • Donations are not sustainable. Many open-source projects tried them, and the only thing they can cover are server costs or conferences, developers are still working for free on their own time.

  • Asking the real questions

  • Nah, it will end up simply as "John" in the database. You need "John%sDoe" to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it's better to use several "%s"

  • Someone wants to raise their Hirsch index, is all.

  • Get the frozen pre-made meal or just make it yourself?

    Jump

  • It really depends. One specific shop near my home has good quality frozen meat pancakes and dumplings. Yeah I have made dumplings by hand some 20 years ago, but those frozen ones are simply better. Maybe I can do some exotic dumplings with a buckwheat flour and a lot of eggs, but that would not necessarily be better, just different.

    On the other hand, pasta sauce prepared from scratch will always taste better than store-bought one, mainly because the stores here only sell ketchup and mayo, and pretty much all pasta sauce here is some variety of tomato concentrate with a bit of carrots.

  • Most vector rendering libraries have options to disable all the fancy stuff like Javascript and external links. If you manage to find one that supports it in the first place. As for resource usage, the server sends image files without decoding, so whatever forkbomb you will manage to include into your SVG will only crash Lemmy clients, so, 'not our problem'. Maybe it will become a problem for the server when generating thumbnail image.

  • Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don't speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

    Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

    burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

    guzik to jest częścią ubrania

    gówno jest produktem srania

    dynia to jest do jedzenia

    dupa to jest do pierdzenia

    ...

    And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?

    Jump

  • Definitely! Win-Tab (properly called Meta-Tab) is used to switch activities in KDE Plasma. With this simple key combination, I gain another 15 virtual desktops.

  • Safe C++

  • Extend C++ for safety

    I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.

  • This makes it harder for russian military to steal one of Mullvad servers to track your porn usage over VPN - once they unplug it, all links to porn will be gone.
