Looking out my office window, and the Muntjacs are back! Of course it would be perfectly in line with a dirty spot on the glass.

@jasonsantamaria Thanks Jason! 🤗

I made a big upgrade to my little `font-size-adjust` tool. You can now upload a font, configure some variable axes if needed, and it will spit out the values you'd need for `ex-height`, `cap-height` or `ch-width`.

@gedeonm Oh no, hope you're safe! 😲

I've been tinkering with a userstyle for the Qobuz webplayer, to suit my own taste. It's like the old days of Helvetireader! It also works in the desktop app (with a little bit of admin).

I find fettling like this to be a fun and welcome distraction from the apocalypse that's happening at the moment 😉

@fahrni It's the only reason that I took the leap to upgrade to Tahoe! I'm a subscriber, but at the moment it doesn't really have any of the features I'm looking for - with the exception of scrobbling. It's well made though, and I have high hopes for the future
