Agreed that it's wider at the same point size. Not sure if it's easier or harder to read yet, especially that "a". Seems a little heavier to counter display technology that makes old fonts so thin (and maybe superthin fonts falling out of fashion?). Probably blends better with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean due to being squarer and having shorter descenders, but I don't trust my eye.

The update hasn't happened for me yet, so we've still got some time to get used to Bierstadt a.k.a. Aptos. It has a curve at the bottom of the lower-case l like Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Cascadia Code, but without the top serif.

Do you have an opinion on CK2+ versus Historical Immersion Project?

My corners of Reddit -- the apolitical, narrowly to very narrowly focused subs -- never protested or gave up. Some are trying to move to various platforms: one to Lemmy, another to Squabbles, a third thinking about Tildes. The one that posted about moving to Lemmy appears to be a moderate success; the others not.

The three tax prep firms named are H&R Block, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer.

Really? 3,000 characters or more? By default?

Tumblr is still popular with the 2000s LiveJournal crowd, i.e. people who need 500 words not 500 characters or 500x500 pixels.

Amod Lele raised the same question of whether there is an end to suffering here: https://loveofallwisdom.com/blog/2009/09/one-and-a-half-noble-truths/

I don't know a strong argument for the claim that the end of suffering is possible outside of claims made about the Buddha himself and other similarly ancient figures, although the experiences of a few monks are evidence that greatly reducing suffering is possible for some people.

It's very confusing right now because the check is to show posts that you have already read. Posts that you have already read are hidden by default.

Hobonichi Techo is always good, but more oriented towards keeping a diary and a little expensive (though you get what you pay for).

I ordered one since I was curious about the Sailor Pro Gear Slim when it was a lot cheaper. I'll see how it feels in the hand since so many pens are uncomfortably heavy (Pilot Metropolitan) or wide (TWSBI Eco).
