What font do you use?

DejaVu Sans for basically everything. DejaVuSans Mono for things I need a monospace font for. Nerdfonts Symbols for various icons/symbols to show icons in Neovim or Waybar for example.

Surely this other monopoly will save us

It’s a new management objective.

0xtero, in Fonts

I normally design and create my own fonts before I start a new document or open console.
I use Arch Linux, btw.

railsdev,

You code them by hand in the terminal before installing the DE right?

Exactly. Using a GUI is too imprecise; it’s made for plebeians. I enter vector coordinates directly into the terminal.

0xtero,

Preferably by sending signals over serial port and couple of wires.

lets hope the devices can be rooted and we can have phosh or ubuntumobile or sth. like that flashed

I use KDE which has noto sans as its default. I use fira code for my terminal and ide though.

KISSmyOS, in Fonts

Whatever is default on the distro I run.
If I see squares with numbers in them somewhere, I install the biggest font metapackage I can find in the repo, which usually fixes it.

Nice try Amazon. I’m not falling for it.

TL;DR Amazon is building a Linux distro that starts a chromium to run react native apps. Apparently, you need hundreds of people for that.

muelltonne,

TBH Amazon has a whole zoo of devices. Even if they are putting a small team of 2 or 3 people in charge for porting this to each device, they might end up with a few hundred people

TheGrandNagus, in Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

I’m confused, why not just continue with AOSP?

It already has most of the Google stuff stripped out and any remaining parts will be easy to replace in comparison to rebuilding and maintaining a much larger software stack while also simultaneously retaining compatibility with all the android apps already on their app store.

They want to throw this OS on smart home/automative/IoT type things. Android works in these situations, but it’s not necessarily ideal. Thing was designed for phones. It’s likely the only phone firmware in history that’s also been put in cars, espresso makers, washer/dryers, microwaves, and TV’s.

I completely get why the first waves of smart devices tended to just use Android – it’s easy to develop on and “lightweight enough” that the tradeoffs involved were generally acceptable. But those qualities only take you so far. Companies moving on to develop their own in-house OS’s for all these devices was the obvious next step.

I use fonts.google.com for discoverablility, but download the fonts from the GitHub repositories.

UI: Inter (if I bother changing the default)

Reading: Source Serif 4, Literata, and Noto Serif

Terminal: Fira Code

Text editor: Fira Code

Document output: EB Garamond, Source Serif 4, and STIX Two Text

Symbols: Noto Sans Symbols, Noto Sans Symbols 2, Symbols Nerd Font

Microsoft fonts largely don’t have the character coverage I need or are not better than what is available under open licenses.

Embedding fonts in documents negages the need for others to have matching fonts installed on their computer.

Treczoks, in Fonts

Depends. I do most documents in Arial and Times New Roman, as they are two of the best in legibility.

I also use DroidFonts, and some TeX-Fonts.

I just found Monaspace and I think I'll give it a try (it is a monospace font family that does not look that much "monospacy")

I download noto-fonts{,-{cjk,emoji,extra}} and ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols{,-mono}

This is not what I meant when I said we need more Mobile OS competition…

ErKaf,

I literally said this to a friend just two days ago… And yes… Also not what I meant.

I love sixel! On Konsole it works out of the box, and it’s my main way to work with plots on headless remote machine 😊.
