A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn't seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆

I find it exceptionally difficult to read (at least your screen cap on mobile is hard to read)

Yeah i gave up after the second sentence

Yeah, between the image compression and resolution, a lot of things that should be 'gaps' in the letters are closing up. Like, the 's' in 'psuedorandom' or 'set' looks like a squished-up 'g'.

I can read individual words as I'm looking at them, but I've lost the ability to scan the line and parse words in my peripheral vision.

I find the irregular aspects of it make it easier to read without getting lost or transposing things, while looking a lot more stylish than comic sans or the like.

How do you even change the font in your browser?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Settings > Default Font. (This is a serious answer for Firefox 120).

Iirc librewolf (and possibly Firefox by extension) has a setting for it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Its in settings. Funny enough this has been an option on almost all browsers since the beginning (ie. Netscape Navigator, as well as IE3)
