    Everything looks like hacker with syntax highlighting

      Just so long as it’s in dark mode. Light backgrounds burn my eyes after spending so much time in my mom’s basement subsisting only on hotpockets and grits straight off Natalie Portman.

    It very well might be a real exploit. Lemmy was briefly taken down by an XS attack using the emoji library… so who knows, maybe a 3000% smiley face is all that is needed

      I think there a lot of phone scammers that use font size to hide all the shit they’re doing. Like they make shit so small so that the old people can’t see anything

        This has a tech related touch to WTFStockPics on reddit. Wonder if theres a community for that. Quite liked the community.

        They used the type of link that goes to where the community would be on your server if someone there had already subscribed. Try the absolute location on lemmy.world to decide whether you’re interested or not (and I wonder how long it will take a bot to complain about that link?)

          Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

            Sorry to tell you this, bot, but the URL works better for people on all but the most populous instances.

            That’s weird. For me it has a full set of posts, most recent a day ago. Maybe it’s blocked for you for some reason?

              Now if you say it, this somehow never worked for me. Neither with feddit.ch or other account, nor with differrnt apps.

                Odd. Do you get anything from lemmy.world at all? Maybe your ISP is blocking the server?

    You joke but I bet font embedding in webpages is like a big open door for hackers to get into your machine.

    These services empower you to quickly recognize fonts you might want to license or download for free. Once identified, you can visit font platforms like font script to acquire the fonts.
