2. monospace variant

Apparently there is (free) Comic Mono, but I find it worse than (paid) Comic Code, the latter IMHO looking more like original Comic Sans.

...yes, I bought this stupid font and actually use it in Windows Terminal, PuTTY and VS Code.

In response to which I suddenly found the energy to go find the checkbook and an envelope.

Who on Earth actually still uses checks? Is it ~~2005~~ 1995?

Actually there's one part of Windows that doesn't suck – font rendering. Even with fonts copied straight out of C:\Windows\Fonts, no matter how many config files I edited, I couldn't recreate Microsoft's ClearType, no matter Mint (MATE), Kubuntu or Debian (LXDE).

~25% of American adults are functionally illiterate

I consider them unnecessary layers of abstraction. Why do I need to fiddle with Docker Compose to install Immich, Vaultwarden etc.? Wouldn't it be simpler if I could just run sudo apt install immich vaultwarden, just like I can do sudo apt install qbittorrent-nox today? I don't think there's anything that prohibits them from running on the same bare metal, actually I think they'd both run as well as in Docker (if not better because of lack of overhead)!

There probably were some ads in the past that might've (probably unintentionally) targeted people on the spectrum. The IBM Selectric ad from the 60's instead of bullshitting about changing your lifestyle (like today's car ads do) focuses on the product's technological prowess.

Haven't noticed that. It's dead obvious that desktop PCs aren't mobile at all, and mobility is what makes laptops laptops.

I couldn't find the discussion on both talk pages (for personal article and the killing article)
