Just to add a datapoint to the discussion: as a paying customer of sourcehut I 100% support this anti-slop policy. I'd prefer if some terms were stated somewhat more precisely, but it's great as it is.

This may very well be the most epic post in HN history. EDIT : I recall fondly algorithm D... one of my first programming experiences in the 90s was trying to implement knuth's arithmetic algorithms for addition, substraction, etc. i

> Does sourcehut still require patches via email I'd guess the technically correct answer to this question is "yes". But sourcehut has very good mailing list support, that is essentially equivalent to github pull requests

my favourites are sourcehut (that has excellent ci, and does not try to be a github clone) and codeberg (with slightly more straightforward migration path from github) [0] sr.ht [1] codeberg.org

I don't know how accurate is what you explain, but the fact that Eichmann was not tried at Nuremberg certainly does not help your credibility.

i want all occurrences of the same glyph to be identical. This is essentially impossible to obtain with blurry "antialiased" fonts.

This is cool, but my problem is the opposite: I have a modern laptop screen with tiny pixels. What I need is then a huge bitmap font... does anybody have any?

Conspicuously missing to this list is uwe's ttyp0 [0]. One of the few bitmap fonts (with terminus) having somewhat complete unicode support and going to very large pixel sizes, so that they are visible on modern screens with tiny pixel
