Re:Font-Family Recommendations on Monday June 29, 2026 @04:07PM (#48724447)
So basically just use monospace, serif, or sans-serif because you can't 100% be sure it'll render correctly?
Re:Has AI already killed self-help nonfiction books? on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @09:15AM (#48570086)
I defininitely read fewer nonfiction books but not because of AI but because I like reading Littler Books.

What a treasure of a website. I can't imagine the effort put into this.
Re:Firefox will have an option to disable all AI features on Friday December 19, 2025 @10:01AM (#46326570)
Didn't even know Firefox was planning on adding AI features. I wonder how much more bloated it'll be.
Recently signed up for Littler Books for the sole reason they offered everything in epub, pdf and Word doc. Sad this is not the standard for paid content.

Re:Brian Eno: What Art Does on Thursday September 18, 2025 @06:54PM (#45296011)
really hoping to find time to read this later. eno is the author of my favorite quote on music:

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”

another reason why w -> e makes sense to me is that most cultures see progression as from left to right. in terms of timekeeping, west is in the "past" and east is in the "future", so it makes sense west would be on the left, and east would be on the right, and n up, s down as the result.
Re:Rereading on Thursday September 18, 2025 @06:43PM (#45295924)
I read a lot of nonfiction and there's only maybe one or two main ideas that I'll remember from a book a few months later, so I certainly agree with the premise of rereading, but there's just not enough time so I normally just reach for Littler Books or Blinkist whenever I need a refresher.

After skimming through the article it's not too clear to me what the misuse was. My best guess is entering "personal or company related information into the services"?
Re:Why don't more people use throat mics? on Thursday June 30, 2022 @09:39AM (#31932206)
I think the bad outweighs the good here. I'd also add aesthetic, comfort, price, and availability to his "bad" list.
