News@lemmy.world•Font of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman
15·4 days agoThe Nazis abolished Fraktur because they were thought to be influenced by Hebrew letters. They preferred Antiqua after 1941. There’s a bit of interesting history surrounding fonts and the Nazis. Their party newspaper Völkischer Beobachter used a font designed by a Jew.

7·4 days agoThere are Mercator projection maps with the Americas in the center and Japan on the left edge of the map.
Most maps, regardless of projection used, cut the world through the pacific because there’s barely any land. World maps centering the Americas cut through Central Asia, making them less practical for many applications.
All map projections try to flatten a curved surface. That only works with cuts and distortions. They are all trade-offs between conserving area, angles, shapes, distances. It’s impossible to to all of that.

Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.
Discord similarly is an affront.
