   Non sequitur
   What was the legal jurisdiction / flag those planes were flying under?

   A cruise ship under N'th flag, is under N'th legal territory, regardless of where on the planet it is.

   It's why they check your passport at San Diego when you board a Norwegian flagged ship to go spend 3 days in Oregon. You step out of California, into Norway, even when that boat is still tied to the docks.

   Does ICAO need to have a chat, using crayons, with Bondi?

   Now I'm fully aware that there are plenty of people who still believe this code is better than Swift. But at this point I think they're a tiny minority.

   This screenshot demonstrates to me the fundamental core of why Swift strives to be a low-ceremony language. Not because all the ceremony shown here is a hassle remember or type, though it is.

   It's that the ceremony drowns out the core of what the code is trying to express: the business logic that is the actually important part.

   It's really sad, that #Pixelfed is still a mess.

   How should I convince anyone that's using Instagram, that this is the better option? Seriously it's impressive how bad pretty much everything about this is.

   It's so bad that I stopped sharing pictures altogether, because I don't want them on Instagram but Pixelfed is just too annoying to use. 🫠

   I just thought I'd mention this here, since tragically so few people have ever heard of it: my all-time favorite font is called B612.

   B612 is a free and open source font that was designed from inception for use on aircraft cockpit screens specifically. So it was designed with a significant amount of money behind it, to maintain maximum legibility and minimum eye strain across a wide range of conditions, in other words. I've been using it in status bars, window managers, and as the default font for GTK for a few years now. In my experience, it performs about as well as millions of dollars worth of research would have you believe.

   It used to be proprietary, but it's now distributed under open source licenses.

   No matter who you are, I implore you to give B612 a try, unless you literally don't want the text on your computer to be extremely legible and/or if you enjoy headaches, in which case please don't. My vision is 20/15 naturally and my main monitor is color correct. I can read font most people can't. Looking somewhere on my screen, expecting to see B612, and seeing some other font instead, still irritates me instantly because that's how good it is.

   It's free. There's no reason not to try it.

   Thank you.

   As always, I will NOT read or boost material that is published on Substack or any blog site that is powered by Substack infrastructure.

   I don't care how progressive, leftist, and wonderful your writing is.

   It will go unread by me.

   Unless you move somewhere else.

   Sigh. I hate how accurate this is.

   It's okay y'all, pretty sure that 2025 will be the Year of Mastodon on the Desktop.
