re: computer hot take
@srol they started calling them optical drives when "CD/DVD/Bluray drive" got a bit too unwieldy
why would people stop knowing what the CD-sized slot in their computer was for after it got renamed
@monorail and that's the dude dankpods cites at being awesome at soldering

@garretpolk just buy your own cage
Dear typographers of Mastodon:
Do any variable fonts exist which support both italics and obliques, in the same font?
(This is not a challenge to go make one. I'm also not assuming that intermediate forms (ugh!) would exist; just that the one font could produce either on demand).
Please boost for reach; #css would like good data before designing solutions to non-existent problems.

@JennyFluff I have a Sharp MD-MS722 that I'm not really using complete with a gumstick battery (though I'm not sure if that one still works). It has optical in, I could throw in a cable as well since I only really got it for that
