US President Donald Trump has unveiled a long-awaited US$12 billion farm aid package aimed at supporting farmers affected by the US-China trade tensions. He credited his tariff policies for making the aid possible and highlighted that his negotiations with China had contributed to the resumption of large soybean sales. Despite the announcement, not all farmers […]

        I am also picky about what fonts I use, but only those that I use.

        My requirements are

        1. Monospace (every character has same width)
        2. 1 !~= l and 0 !~= O and l !~= I (read “!~=” as “isn’t similar to”)

        I usually use Liberation Mono, Adwaita Mono and Source Code Pro. I also really like Terminess Nerd Mono, but it only looks good if line width equals to 1 pixel. It’s really only meant for fixed resolution.


        Well, Terminess isn’t doing so well with 1 and l.

        Mouse pointer… eh, anyway.

          You read non-code text in mono space? Who hurt you?

      Apparently calibri is too woke, so they’re reverting to using times new roman for government documents

        I first learned how to use computers when Times New Roman was the default font in Word, but I’m not a stunted fuckup with daddy issues so I guess Calibri never bothered me.

        But Mark my words, the Conservative of tomorrow will be working fervorously to return to the glory days of when Calibri was their default font, because Conservatives always yearn to return to the days of their youth, when the world wasn’t so big and scawey.

          Apparently Times New Romans had only been the State department’s font for about twenty years

  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn’t in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
