Normally I would be all for peer reviewed, but this is a fantastic example where that’s a stupid fucking metric.

Comic sans existed before efforts to formally make a dyslexic assistance font.

Comic sans has been casually recommended by many dyslexic communities and assistance programs because sans serif fonts are helpful and fonts with unique letter shapes are helpful.

Comic sans for many years was one of the only fonts that fit both categories. But by the time formal efforts went into place, comic sans quickly became unneeded in the space. There’s no reason at all TO do a formal study on it when it was never intended for the use case.

What studies there are in fonts from the time lean towards it being helpful for reading speed and understandability in children. But none of the studies of the error really focused on dyslexia so at best you can only infer based on adjacent findings it even then it’s loose at best.

Point is just because something doesn’t have formal research on it doesn’t make it not true and that years of casual helpfulness just vanish.

So get off the little petty wagon where you hate something just because it’s overused. Comic sans is a useful and fun little font that just gets over used.

It existed before dyslexia specific fonts existed and there was a dedicated effort to create them.

It became popular early on for dyslexia because it just happened to be really useful for dealing with the issue.

Compared to a specific font designed for dyslexic people it doesn’t hold a candle to it. But that doesn’t make it bad for the job either there’s a reason it got popular for that usage in the first place.

For like a good 10 years it was basically the only good option. Nowadays there are just much better ones and anyone still using comic sans I would hope it’s just using it for silly things.

Fluxer is chill. Honestly if you just want VoIP like you just plop down on a couch and talk to people. The only other thing I can think of that I could honestly recommend would still be mumble.

It’s simple because one job really well it’s easy to use and it doesn’t get in the way.

But if you want something that is a bit more discord like and relax then yeah fluxer is really about the only good option at the moment.

All the matrix b******* nonsense at people love to talk about is really good… As a replacement for like Microsoft teams…

Piefed is just lemmy. But minus the tankie devs. Otherwise same shit different day.

Frankly im absolutely fucking baffled no ones tried this before. It seems like such a no brainer way to cause actual damage and problems. I dislike that someone has finally thought about it tho.

To be fair I was more thinking about it in the context of the era it was everywhere. So the late 90s to very early 00s if I recall?

Which I want to say was before much of the actual effort to make better options.

I probably should have prefaced that. That’s my bad.

That is literally one of comic sans upside. Its objectively speaking easy to read. Its one of the better fonts for people with dyslexia and reading difficulties.

People hate on it because memes and ignorance. Also the absolute over use making people sick of it. But those are subjective things.

This is an insult to comic sans. Comic sans is a good font and helpful to people with dyslexia

no, unless you have very low standards for “suitable for gaming”

While i ment at home. Im going to be honest giving it a few moments thought. Since your already traveling you likely have a laptop. A ryzen laptop while expensive. Arn’t really that much more then a good work station/gaming laptop both are fucking over priced as fucking hell right now to be fair. But your paying 3.5-4k either way. A ryzen laptop with lpddr is like 3800-4000 dollars for 128 gigs of ram. You could totally do a local model right from your hotel room.

Frankly i would say this is a more realistic option after the bubble goes pop and you can pick up something like this for like 2000 bucks. Since the laptops tend to be really nice reguardless and at least justifiable around that price point.

Like 70% of the points on that site are… Disingenuous at best. It’s not wrong over all at all. But I do wish people would stop throwing in a bunch of bullshit along with the good points.

I hate ai on many moral standards and see it as highly problematic, but also see it as a fun toy.

It makes it hard to have any honest conversations about the problems around ai when everyone is basically a religious zealot spouting as much bullshit as the ai tech bros are.

Is ai a problem? Yes. There’s no honest way to disagree with that. But the real conversation is far more nuanced than that.

Yeah the long term upkeep tends to be the biggest problem.

But then again, normal projects have that too. Seen plenty of small projects get worked on like crazy for a few months and the author burns themselves out.

Ai like with most things just speed up the process. Lol

Even a medium sized local model can do 90% of the job now.

Just gotta set it up ahead of time so you can use it outside the house.

I’ve always found him to be a great source of wisdom. While also being a great example of how to not act.

The dude is a self centered egotistical ass who is so full of himself it’s disgusting.

He’s also an extremely well educated speaker who has a very deep understanding of many subjects and a fondness for teaching others.

Aka he’s human.

Naw, speak French. It’s way more fun.

At least watching people get upset is more fun.

Not sure about the French part tho.

This is the only correct choice

I would absolutely fucking be down for tea time with flutterbutt. BUT ONLY IF I GET TO PET ANGEL RABBIT. I love me sum buns.

Surprised its not lower. Oklahoma always finds a way to surprise!

May this one introduce you to the wonders of Chinese court register and hornorifics.

Everything is described by exact name, title or description.

Its wonderful and removes literally all confusion.

Also you get to sound super wise.

If I had a nickel for every liberal Texan I’ve seen or known for a Fluttershy pfp. I would have like 2 dollars.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU?!
