If you want to pay for or pirate a font, there’s of course Albertus. The best free (OFL) font I’ve found with a similar look is Della Respira, only a single-style font:

I’m not sure how you plan on using a proportional font in the terminal, though.

This paper looks like it’s essentially run by the US weapons industry. It’s a subsidiary of GovExec who helps military contractors sell to the government. This means they have an interest in drumming up armed conflict and you’d have to take everything they print with this in mind.

A group called Cofacts allows users to forward dubious messages to a chatbot. Human editors check the messages, enter them into a database, and get back to the user with a verdict.

“This year, because gen AI is just so mailable [sic], they just fine-tuned a language module together that can clarify such disinformation…adding back a context and things like that. So we’re no longer outnumbered,” she said.

I’d be highly skeptical of how well this would work. A language model is not a truth machine, it’s just a program that tries to write like a human. There are countless examples of ChatGPT and similar programs saying blatantly false things and making up citations out of thin air.

sexist facebook-tier garbage. congrats

Communist Party of China, CPC. The country that they are in is China (PRC). A billion people do not live in the “CCP”, that’s like saying Japanese people live in the LDP, and your imprecise use of these terms makes you look uninformed. Unless, of course, you just constantly say “CCP” because you don’t want to recognize that they are the legitimate and popular government of China, you know, a country.

I speak of russia generally so I can include USSR and the current state of affairs. I realize they are different but they are both authoritarian. They be capitalist but they call themselves communists.

This is a meaningless statement. Any government that wields power to accomplish things is “authoritarian”. It’s silly to equate the USSR with the Russian Federation when they are two very different administrations with distinct ideology and policies. Russia for the past 30 years is a capitalist country with an administration originally installed by the US. Putin is a right-wing figure and an anti-communist. I don’t like Putin and the other rightists in charge of Russia, but I hope NATO doesn’t win out in the East because I don’t want the US Empire ruling over the whole world.

We aren’t uncritical of the USSR, China, and the DPRK, we just think they broadly did (and do) much more good than bad.

Also, “CCP” isn’t a country or even a party (CPC), it’s China or the PRC. I assume when you say “Russia” you mean the Soviet Union that hasn’t existed in thirty years as Russia is a capitalist country now.

Post your credit card number and DLN while you’re at it.

So a mod didn’t like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about “tankies” despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you’re just looking to pick a fight with us because we’re dirty pinko commies or something.

it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don’t live.

i feel bad for any writer there who’s just trying to do tech journalism

cnet’s record is terrible. first they do crapware bundling, then have factually incorrect articles written by machine learning algorithms, now this

there are definitely real concerns to be had about addictive and manipulative software, i use linux and a dumbphone as well. but “AI” is not some genius, it’s a dumb algorithm and i think ascribing these apocalyptic powers to it is ridiculous.

and using the word “consoomer” makes you look like a 4chan nazi whether that’s what you are or not.

is this how most people dress now? or is this boomer-tier meme complaining about made-up nonsense
