When it's not being a television with an unusually awkward user interface, the Samsung Frame is sold as a display with a low-power mode that's optimised for art. Imagine buying one and discovering they want to sell you a subscription for freely available art! 😡
Get free art for free, and resize it for your own TV 👉 https://github.com/instantiator/frame-55-art/

omfg the font used in this famous anti-piracy campaign used a pirated commercial font.
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (https://bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v) She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (https://web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf). So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time! 📎
