there is no "buisness case" in volunteer projects, but they do exist in paid projects

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:17 PM

so things like creating a usability feature that could be exploited can be a buisness case

yeah that's why companies like red hat and suse and canonical exist lol

Most desktop Linux development is done for RHEL

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:18 PM

yep

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:18 PM

lets just say a big fat paycheck is a good counter argument in a technical disagreement

Crono•7/3/24, 9:18 PM

And Fedora, which is the developer hook for RHEL

Man, I'm loving IBM Plex; this font is crazy. The different weights are like different fonts, super distinct in the QS tiles and such.

not a self hosted streaming service?

Crono•7/3/24, 9:22 PM

No, the font IBM commissioned to replace Helvetica Neue for them

Justin Garrison•7/3/24, 9:22 PM

My deck seems to be stuck in an update loop with the July 2nd update. Every time apply the update and reboot it says an update is available. Is that a known issue?

CCrono No, the font IBM commissioned to replace Helvetica Neue for them

Crono•7/3/24, 9:23 PM

Wonder if Kyle knows about it given that he uses HN as a system font

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:27 PM

got a screenshot of how it looks?

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:27 PM

the default bazzite font was hurting my eyes

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:27 PM

i ripped the windows font but it renders differently in bazzite

CCrono Click to see attachment

Crono•7/3/24, 9:28 PM

Here

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:28 PM

oooh, i quite like that

Crono•7/3/24, 9:28 PM

Different weights

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:29 PM

what settings are you using?

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:29 PM

i like that a lot

CCrono Different weights

Crono•7/3/24, 9:29 PM

Crono•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

Just the default grayscale AA in GNOME Tweaks with hinting disabled

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

also lol this is the most over engineered website for a font i've ever seen in my entire life

Crono•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

It's really slow JS for some reason

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

yeah

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

its insane

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

#announcements - it might be this issue.

Crono•7/3/24, 9:30 PM

The GitHub page is much better

Crono•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

https://github.com/IBM/plex

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

yeah

Saki•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

Plex is a weird font; not pleasant to read

Crono•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

Also very well maintained font, last update was in May

Saki•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

Does a font need to be maintained...?

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:31 PM

I was literally about to ask that

Crono•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

Not necessarily

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

like.. it's a font. Just make it and get on with life

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

i care about fonts

Crono•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

But given the scope Plex has surely some mistakes can get through the cracks

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

i spend a lot of time reading text on a computer

Crono•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

There's glyphs for Asian languages and such

RoyAwesomeOP•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

if my eyes start to strain, i notice it

Saki•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

Noto sans is good enough for me

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:32 PM

So do I, but I don't worry about the fonts. MoonReader tells me if I need to download a font, if not, carry on.

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:33 PM

Whatever Bazzite is using is fine.

Crono•7/3/24, 9:33 PM

Typography is one of the most complicated fields of knowledge there are

Saki•7/3/24, 9:34 PM

A lot of complexity and not much purpose

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:34 PM

If the font itself is causing your eyes to strain, either 1) Stop using Comic Sans and Papyrus for everything, or 2) get your eyes checked,

SSaki A lot of complexity and not much purpose

Crono•7/3/24, 9:34 PM

It's how we're communicating right now

Crono•7/3/24, 9:34 PM

It's easy to take for granted but there's an absurd amount of work and thought that goes into it

Kamquat•7/3/24, 9:34 PM

Arguably uneeded work and thought

there is no "buisness case" in volunteer projects, but they do exist in paid projects
