no Fs<br/><br/>sounds like user error, right? but the reports kept coming in. and it wasn&#39;t just missing, sometimes it was switched, like the word &#34;first&#34; would become &#34;ifrst&#34;. if you know anything about fonts maybe you can guess what was up... 2023-04-24T00:44:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswff2deep7spryxu7ykx6ezdxdlcv9un85aag2yw5gug6v92fm0egzyr8zqmxmkexea46yhrynh7rd5jr74yyc883ewgjdzx50f9guzrzsk47wv3p it&#39;s sunday night and twitter is still a dumpster fire so i think it&#39;s finally time to re-post my all-time favorite tweet (iykyk)<br/><br/>because the original context for this is lost to antiquity, i want to set the stage by sharing one of my favorite absurd stories about software.
