You're existing in hyper-capitalism. So yes big surprise, people need to make money.

It's a very subtle difference but noticeable in the anti-aliasing.

I don't have Windows right now, so I haven't tested if the change's closer to Firefox - but Firefox always had some heavy antialiasing on Windows, which I wasn't a fan of.

Anyone who tries to follow-up more than twice comes off as desperate or an automated spambot. I don't appreciate that hustle.

2 follow-ups should be the absolute limit (preferably, a single follow up).

I agree. I rarely ever use new tools, but I switched to Notion a few years ago and even recommended it to many friends and colleagues.

Big mistake. Lessons learned. It's been slow and buggy all this time but I still kept using it. The final nail in the coffin was it started using 15-20% of a CPU core on IDLE, and has been doing so for 5+ months. Tried everything and gave up. Going back to simple text files.

I have used PHP as a replacement for even shell scripts, like perl and python, a lot in the past. The best thing is the very strong standard lib. Everything's built-in. I like node as well, but having to install so many packages just for that one file script is a major annoyance.

I understand what you're saying but it doesn't exactly address my curiosity of this specific case of HTTP GET requests for font files (no JS, no iframe, and no cookies either in this case).

Your thoughts about a like button widget, or even Google Analytics are perfectly valid. But I am talking about this specific topic under discussion, Google Fonts.

Curious how useful is an IP address with a simple HTTP get request?

As long as a sane Referer-Policy is set, the Referer won't be sent. Sure there's a lot more to browser fingerprinting but with just an HTTP request, all the data that would be known from it is the language and the user agent. Both of which are not unique data points and shared by thousands of other users. No cookies either in this case of Google Fonts.

One distinction: Reactive Hypoglycemia. Even with low GI carbs, it may still happen. Small meals or keto is the fix.

When it comes to health, things are rarely that simple. Even medical professionals have knowledge gaps, let alone someone who isn't one. I'd be careful to make assumptions.

Heck, many people assume the other person's a snowflake, when in fact their patience and pain tolerance may be miles above yours.

It's the same as reductionists advice on complex health issues where you advice someone to try X based on your 5-mins reading material, when surely someone suffering for years have tried all of that in thousands of hours of searching for the magic fix.
