Re:Old Timey Code and Old Timey Mono Fonts on Tuesday May 06, 2025 @08:54PM (#43911168)
Thank you so much for making and sharing this. I'm especially grateful that you included the code variant. I'm not a programmer but love monospace fonts but the lack of a slashed zero in so many otherwise lovely fonts has been a deal breaker for me!

I wonder if there is enough market demand for dumb and basic products that follow the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well. This may just be nostalgia talking, but I miss pre-iPhone technology.

A TV with no connectivity features, a car UI with actual buttons and knobs, a phone with one-handed usability, laptops with ethernet ports, home appliances without Wi-Fi.

Yes, I'm in the minority or maybe I'm just getting old.

Re:Why I use Firefox on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @03:45PM (#39543227)
In addition to all of the reasons so many have mentioned, my favorite reason is this setting which allows me to easily use my preferred fonts on all websites: Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above

De-selecting the box and specifying my preferred fonts is the absolute first setting I change on every Firefox installation.

Hey Rafi,

Both Codeberg and Github only seem to have two files - LICENSE and README.md. Shouldn't there be some more files for this to work?
