@nixCraft Your first "production is down" is a test of the company ;-)

Meta plans to treat ai bots as users and promote interacting with them? Am I so out of touch or does it make absolute zero sense? Wasn’t the only reason we have social media interacting with other humans?

TIL
Most print publications use a serif font, one with the small flourishes at the tip of letters such as Times New Roman. With serif fonts being the norm in print, it might seem odd accessibility regulations require sans serif but there is good reason. For people with good vision, a typeface with serifs is slightly easier and faster to read than one without serifs. Typically, for people with low vision, the serifs significantly degrade legibility. The importance of using a sans serif typeface is especially important for digital content since it is typically read on-screen and not in hardcopy print.

I’m sure that attack on archive.org and flood of their legal battles are completely unrelated. No sir, no chance in hell there is any money flowing between those two coincidental events
