And now I've been taught a valuable lesson in word choice. Instead of "funny" I probably should've written "interesting" or "distinctive". Oof.

DJGPP's author has some funny ideas about spelling and capitalization, including his own name, DJ Delorie (not "D. J." or the like). I guess it's his own personal "no brown M&M's" rule!

> No, Deus Ex is not an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

No, the author didn't say it was.

First they came for the Communists, but they were doing it ironically and can't you leftists take a joke?

> You're not an actor but a spectator, unless you own a Discord server

Nobody owns Discord servers except Discord's server admins. I don't mean the glorified mods of glorified channel groups, I mean the real admins of the real servers!

Think about how "simple" it is for this someone to rip off artwork, and then think about how "simple" it is for this someone to rip off you.

Yes, and then children grow up and realize that how "other people" act on "other people's opinions" has real direct and indirect effects on their lives.

> Anthropic states that these rules may be modified for “contracts with certain governmental customers … if, in Anthropic’s judgment, the contractual use restrictions and applicable safeguards are adequate to mitigate the potential harms.” The company has previously contracted with the US military.

So, you're still not safe from the spooks, but the spooks are safe from you. Thanks Anthropic!

Good question! I've looked into this a bit myself and I think the best overall match is Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed, albeit not exact: https://www.myfonts.com/products/condensed-regular-akzidenz-...

The G is different (look at the lower right corner), the 0 (zero) has a slash which looks custom, and the Q is very different (it looks like a letter O with a piece of another O added for the tail).

And yes, since it's the standard comment about fonts, this is a commercial font that costs an arm and a leg.
