Thank you! I found and interesting note about “fun” (and also “funner”, towards the end) in Gilman – I’m including a snapshot for the curious. “Funny” appears too :)

So cool! I was wondering where the fonts were, but now I’ve found them on your GitHub repo.

One question/curiosity: is the goal to have a font that looks “consumed by time”? or a font that should look as much as possible as in its original time? I ask this because I notice some final letters have small “ink holes”, they aren’t fully filled.

I don’t understand why so many opinion pieces and news keep on saying that Web Environment Integrity could be abused and that’s why we should oppose it. This misses the point a great deal.

Implementation of Web Environment Integrity in browsers IS ITSELF AN ABUSE, because I have the right to go around the web without continually proving who I am, even less against a 3rd party.

It’s as if someone said that some officer (and not even a government one) should always be by your side when you go out, ready to certify who you are, whenever you speak with people on the street – and even with friends. Would you accept that?

Are we totally out of our minds??

I disagree. On one laptop I had Ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu-desktop. It became a bit of a mess with the login screen, and it isn’t that easy to uninstall the previous Gnome stuff – had to leave it there. On another laptop I installed Kubuntu directly, and the problems above don’t appear.

Thank you so much, that did it!! I hope they’ll put this option explicitly in the settings, in the future.

Ah, difficult, they are two different and incomparable concepts :) As they are now, I think the fonts reach the first goal: give the appearance of an old and used book. Which is cool.

For the second goal maybe there’s no need to go to such lengths as you did, I imagine pictures of how those fonts looked in their time maybe exist(?).

What’s the “RFP” frequently mentioned in the document? I can’t find any setting about it and am confused by Internet search results about it.

Thank you, at least the explanation of the acronym helps. I’m looking for more info, it seems to refer to a setting in about:config.

Thank you for the advice!

Firewall on Linux is something I still don’t understand, and explanations found on Internet have always confused me. Do you happen to know some good tutorial to share? Or maybe one doesn’t need to do anything at all in distros like Ubuntu?

Regarding ssh: you only mean incoming ssh, right?
