Calling all #typography historians for a vague question:

Was moveable type of the renaissance to early modernity era generally sold independently to various presses (printers)?

Or did the type usually circulate with its press (machine)?

Were long-distance international sales common?

I'm trying to bring more context to an article on Cyrillic type but am stuck for the lack of information of who got the typefaces from who, and where.

'We feel it in our bones': Can a machine ever love you?

Artificial intelligence can write you a passable love poem and some people even have romantic feelings towards it. But is the feeling mutual?

#Historians of the Fediverse, in times and places where capital punishment was frequent, public and widespread, to what extend did those condemning people to death take into account things like "if I ice this guy who will do his job?" like if he was the nightsoil excavator or the area medic or the only guy who could read for miles. (I am assuming women didn't get any such consideration which is why I'm only asking about men, but if they did, that too) Thanks!
