fake "krab" is spam of fish

@Soreth I couldn't possibly justify that sort of attitude.

@Soreth Oh, if it's consensual, let the kids have their fun! I'm not gonna shame them just 'cause they're not my type.

@mawr I've reduced my "social attack surface" greatly by refusing to use all but three of those, and I'd love to drop one of them (Telegram) but nothing else has yet gotten critical mindshare from the folks I need it for.

Should I push for Signal? Or just hide under a rock? *shrug*

@pendragon WinCo, apparently!

The original Frederic Goudy quote that I'm riffing on:

"A man who would letterspace the lowercase would fuck sheep."

This is usually rendered as "steal sheep" to... er... protect the delicate sensibilities of young typographers? Anyhow, he was talking about adding extra space to the lowercase letters of serif type in particular, so go wild with your sans-serifs.

But seriously, if a passage must be centered like on an award certificate or diploma or whatever, I say one should use the "balance lines in paragraph" option, or lacking that, soft line breaks to keep the lines approximately the same length. (I like to fudge things a little to make sure phrases aren't interrupted, but that's a personal quirk.) I just loathe it when I see one or two long centered lines followed by two or three words dangling in the middle like untrimmed nose hair.

With apologies to Frederic Goudy:

Anyone who would set any amount of center-aligned text without taking time to balance the line lengths is a filthy scoundrel who would steal sheep.

@porsupah I'm shocked – shocked, I tell you! – to find that Facebook would purchase an entertainment device in order to use it to funnel people toward their private-data-collection-posing-as-social-media service.
