Three years of endless attempts to improve concentration, boost energy, along with attempts to lose 10 kilos from Typemedia – all solved by discovering that your thyroid isn’t working and you need replacement hormones.
It’s just terrifying how many moving parts are in your body.
Correcting JT Rhette before publishing, checking some backups, and falling down a rabbit hole like this g. Thoughts — actually… The shape looks good… Maybe it’s worth going back and tweaking it a bit?… No… No… You don’t have time for that!… But maybe…
@eWalthert@typo.social @tphinney@typo.social @w__h_@typo.social It reminds me of the 100 fonts on a CD that used to be included with magazines when I studied in 2007, and the rasterisers* that created fonts from handwriting.

Ok. I’m not sure if this is some inside joke I’m missing, but when you click on “California Type Foundry” in the FontLab 8 tutorial, it links to a vegan blog that ran from April to July 2018.

Heh. Datacenters worth millions, made just so that someone from my family can send me religious AI slop.
Someone wrote to me — don’t use AI — and it's the first time I'm mad at someone in a Reddit fandom for not knowing that you can easily type an em-dash using a keyboard shortcut and not a sign of AI.
Still thinking about it. Nothing extraordinary, just a cordial gesture. These terms carry the same significance as “married”, “single”, “widower”, “divorced”, and so on. And probably they are from the Facebook list. I don’t know who at Facebook thought about it; and perhaps there were good intentions behind it. However, it’s a source of comments in which every stupid right-winger pretends to be clever and accuses trans people of believing in 56 genders.
FontLab has some quirks.
I’m not sure if this is a good comparison, but Robofont is like a hammer and a screwdriver. The only limit is your own strength (Python knowledge)
There was a moment of satisfaction as I started to get the hang of using Robofont, only to realise just how slow my progress is.
Thanks a lot for climate change. Another month with allergies. Another month wearing a mask or stuck in the house. And then more months at home, because the heat will be brutal.
Does anyone know what to click so that the Fontlab menu bar in Mac doesn't constantly hide? It’s annoying, even more so if you have a second screen positioned above your main working screen. This is a problem limited to Fontlab. Neither Glyphs, Robofont nor any other app has this problem.
Idk…
But OK. It caught my attention. I clicked on it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have checked whether there was any deeper meaning to it.
I get the feeling I’m finally going to need glasses too. Strange feeling, knowing that until now others had to wear them.
This was definitely the cause. Visible improvement and change — more energy, more concentration, 6 kilos down (20 to go).
