troyunrau, in [Resolved] Why does the font on Lemmy.world look like an eyesore?
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

Back in the day, debian used to render fonts badly to avoid a potential patent trap. Is that still a thing?

cmnybo,

All of the ClearType patents are expired, so that’s not an issue anymore. OP probably just has anti-aliasing turned off for some reason.

elbarto777,

No.

I’m getting old, it seems. Kids these days probably don’t even have to configure modlines in XFree86. Sheesh. ;)

Are you using Firefox within a flatpak perchance ?

There seems to be a bug to it relating to use of bitmap fonts, you can fix the issue by disabling them via a config file in firefox’s fonts: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915

mmababes, (edited )

Thank you, worked like a charm.

I have a similar problem, but on Lemmy.zip (Lemmy.world looks fine). However, I am running Fedora Kinoite (immutable), where Firefox is not installed as Flatpak.

You could start with using dark reader

otter,

I think Lemmy has themes too

I try to use the built in darkmode because dark reader got sluggish on some sites. Then I whitelist it on the sites that I need to

Jumuta,

i hated dark reader because it only works like 70% of the time, and often it doesn’t even look that good.

Shihali, in [Resolved] Why does the font on Lemmy.world look like an eyesore?

From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.

Lemmy.world’s code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,“Segoe UI”,Roboto,“Helvetica Neue”,“Noto Sans”,“Liberation Sans”,Arial,sans-serif,“Apple Color Emoji”,“Segoe UI Emoji”,“Segoe UI Symbol”,“Noto Color Emoji”

I’d use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I’m on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.

Fixed the issue by going tothis link (posted by @Tzeentch), bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915, and implementing the solution mentioned by user, Pablo:

mmababes,

I’m having the same issue on other sites as well (not all but some). Does this have something to do with Frefox and MS fonts?

@jelloeater85@lemmy.world avatar

You can also try p.lemmy.world as well.

eager_eagle, in [Resolved] Why does the font on Lemmy.world look like an eyesore?
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

I use and recommend the Alexandrite UI a.lemmy.world

mmababes,

The font issue is affecting other websites I go to as well.

I installed the mscorefonts (sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer) but still having this issue.

I just came across this - fedoramagazine.org/d-bus-overview/ - and I think it explains it pretty well.

Zsh becomes really handy with oh my zsh and powerlevel10k theme

ohmyz.sh

github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

And for neovim I made the transition from vim with lazyvim: www.lazyvim.org

@snowe@programming.dev avatar

You can replace almost all aspects of oh my zsh just by using fish shell. Like straight out of the box it does most of it. I switched off of a completely customized zsh (oh my zsh didn’t do enough for me) and fish is able to do everything I did with my custom zsh setup.

WaLLy3K, (edited ) in Is anyone using awk?

awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

OpenStars, in Is anyone using awk?
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

awk is awesome! I love it, and I do not regret learning how to use it.

That said, my workflow invariably always shifts from starting with awk to do something simply with a tiny one-liner, to then doing that with perl or python, and sometimes even creating a file to make the by-now multi-line scripts more easily readable.

I do not recommend starting with awk, if you do not know other languages already such as Python.

In short, let your intuition guide you.

sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.

turkalino, in how do i efficiently attach audio to an image
@turkalino@lemmy.yachts avatar

Are you sure your rendering settings are correct? It sounds like the video isn’t being encoded at all. Video encoding works by storing a frame in full quality every couple seconds or so. For the rest of the frames, only their differences from the previous full-quality frame are stored. But from what you describe, it sounds like the latter sentence isn’t happening

jackpot,
@jackpot@lemmy.ml avatar

oh i didnt think this is how it worked, i ended up using ffmpeg to make a one frame a second video but it still looks blurry??

olafurp, (edited ) in Is anyone using awk?

I think it’s pretty niche but is a great tool for parsing / converting data into a format that is more easily digested by another program.

Think for example a report from an 80’s system that spits out many tab separated values in a different format based on some code. Then these tables are all separated by two blank lines and order of them is randomised. To top that off you need to then pipe it all to a different program that only accepts a specific format.

You could do it in Python by doing a parse, process, stringify code but if you know awk you can do all those steps at the same time with less code.

Sure, in the age of REST the Python approach is better but awk is a very powerful tool for the “I have a specific output but need a specific input” problem.
