davidugh GNOME is so incredibly well designed
and then the font rendering on the systems it's run on completely cancels it out.......
why can't computers just be good
it's beautiful and hurts my eyes at the same time
apparently the reason why windows font rendering looks so much better than everything else is because microsoft owns patents on cleartype
fucking hell microsoft why can't we have nice things
daily reminder fuck patent law
Luna@xnx38h this should work for Ubuntu https://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/09/howto-get-cleartype-like-smooth-fonts.html?m=1
MOVED TO @haskal@types.pl@xnx38h idk when i put emojis in a slideshow and then someone opens it in Microsoft Powerpoint they see all the emojis as black and white (even when they are variation selector 16) because apparently in 2021 microsoft still can't get color emojis right so....

Csepp 🌢@xnx38h Someone should make a git forge that runs as a Tor hidden service but still has proper moderation and isn't a shady darknet haven, but have it operate outside of patent law.
Just gotta figure out a way to include software from that in distros. I guess a Guix channel could work?
alcinnz@xnx38h Because we're not paid to make computers good, we're paid to make computers profitable!
