Yeah, I Run Emacs on my Steam Deck, Ever Heard of It?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

The linked website is unreadable

Indeed. It manages to be worse than the really obnoxious font people LOVE to use in their Android phones, which IMO is a spectacular feat.

Damn this is literally the first time I've ever got feedback about the font choice!

I concur, there's better fonts to choose from.

Even without the font (thanks NoScript!): a website's text should never be entirely italic, as it removes one level of emphasis. `<emph>` (`*emph*` in Markdown) usually defaults to *italic*, and `<strong>` (`**strong**` in Markdown) to **bold**. Also, the `12px` font size choice doesn't help either. But the site looks fine in Firefox' reader mode, especially without the whole emoji salad. So /u/nv-elisp, try your brower's reader mode, that seems to work fine.

You might use that change on the next update. Any reason why you don't want to use the Emacs flatpak? Flatpaks, as far as I understood, are resilient to system updates.

It was only a matter of time. I know I was thinking of it.

This is the worst I've seen. Just wow. What a terrible day to have eyes.

I was about to sit down and install it there :)

I do too! Thought I was the only one 🤣

If being dank is what you wanted, the font works pretty well

There's an overlay FS mounted for /etc, so changes there will persist. I didn't use flatpak because I wanted to use GccEmacs and do all the module precompilation stuff that emacs-overlay provides

Nice! I was looking to do the same

thanks for the concrete feedback. still chuckling at "what a terrible day to have eyes" upthread. I probably should have done the italic selection in the font-family rather than overriding font-style, and may indeed do that. I don't really use `/italic/` in the org docs this site is rendering for emphasis, just `*bold*`, `_underline_` and `=verbatim=`. so I hardly notice myself, especially since I stare at the same typography all day in emacs (12pt vulf mono italic for variable pitch, vulf mono for code/verbatim), but you're right that it can be semantically confusing.
