This, from the “free” font agreement, is exactly the kind of annoying minutiae I have no interest in keeping track of. I’m going to skip downloading these, even at no cost, because I don’t want to risk accidentally infringing.

@avavsystems @jernej__s @obsoletemediauk How can I store the compactly in a way that won’t cause issues? I have too many to want to use their original DVD cases, and I want them to last a long time while maintaining quick access for referencing & watching them.

@khalidabuhakmeh You can combine engineering principles and vibe coding. You just forget the code exists until it’s time for the P.R., at which point you scrutinize and critique heavily.
