  • In my opinion GitHub is seriously good software, but it is awkward when FOSS software is developed on it instead of on Codeberg, Gitea or another FOSS platform.

    Discord is actually a security risk, it walls information off the outside world (compared to a forum or IRC server) and incredibly difficult to find information in even when you’re in the server (as opposed to documentation or a forum)

    Matrix has 2/3 of these issues, so it being FOSS aside I very much would hate it when development discussion and software documentation is done through Matrix, as well.






  • They’re helpful to my deaf ears, even when they’re wrong (50% of the words) they do give me a solid idea of what is being said together with what the audio sounds like.

    With it, I get almost everything correct. Without it, I understand near to nothing.

    This only goes for English spoken by Americans and sometimes London Britons, sadly, nothing else get detected nearly as good enough, so I can’t enjoy YouTube in my native language (Dutch), but being able to consume English YouTube already helps a lot!

    Noto Sans for sans-serif text (and the OS)
    It’s legible, standard-looking and support about every writing system in the world. You can install it on Debian using # apt install fonts-noto, some others like -cjk and -extra help with the “supports about every writing system in the world”-aspect.

    Merriweather for the serif font fallback for the browser, as well as TTRPG campaign printouts
    It’s very legible, and looks quite sexy for a serif font. There’s no package for it currently (although AUR and Nix users might have better luck), it has to be downloaded from Google Fonts

    JetBrains Mono for the terminal TUI’s
    It looks a bit playful, like lego-letters, is legible and supports about every writing system in the world. # apt install fonts-jetbrains-mono.

    Although I use…

    Verdana for source code
    It differentiates every character well and leaves enough space to easily recognise special characters such as brackets. And I don’t believe monospace fonts are more legible. It’s included in ttf-mscorefonts-installer but the font is not open-source.
