Oh boy, here we go.
On typefaces: Everything is a remix but some things are “more remix” than others. If you create a typeface that’s inspired by another typeface, it needs to be meaningfully different for you to profit from it, and even so you should acknowledge those influences.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Weird how there always seems to be only one probable cause for everything, and it’s always the thing that I’ve been obsessing over last week

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

apparently the GBUAPCD (Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District) monitors air pollution with camera that take pictures every 30 seconds. they also compile them into videos at the end of every day… you can just pick a location and a date and watch the clouds move over the sierras 😌

The year is 2025. Computers are more advanced than ever. You have a supercomputer in your pocket. Eliezer Yudkowsky believes the human race will go extinct in 10 years because of extremely advanced AI. It's still nearly impossible to move a photo from one computer to another.

The one commercial VPN I trust is Mullvad.
Full disclosure: not an ad™ but they fund part of my work on transparency logs, because they want to run transparent systems (www.system-transparency.org). IMHO, if anything, this *adds* to the endorsement.
You can get it via Tailscale and Mozilla, too.

After all of the infosec chatter about how you probably don't need a VPN, age verification has made PornHub block access in most Southern states and TikTok's about to block US IPs. We are entering a new age of internet censorship and you might need a non-shady VPN.

While I still believe you shouldn't automatically put people in a marketing list for paying for coffee… I'm starting to find pleasure in unsubscribing from marketing emails. There's probably a German word for this.
