I wonder if it's because of the font-weight being decreased. If I disable the `font-weight` rule in Firefox's Inspector the text gets noticeably darker, but the contrast score doesn't change. Could be a bad interaction with anti-aliasing thin text that the contrast checker isn't able to pick up.

I'd say it looks pretty readable on android although I still wouldn't describe it as good. I wouldn't say I feel encouraged to squint. But possibly different antialiasing explains it.

My understanding was that that was more a function of how arc submitted stuff to Phabricator, rather than solely Phabricator itself. arc at submission time submitted a bunch of different commits as a single Phabricator DREV or whatever the terminology is/was (basically a DREV is the {domain}/D123 webpage you'd do a review on). But other tools that submitted commits to Phabricator instances (and maybe even arc itself with the right flag?) submitted each commit as its own separate DREV, so each commit got its own separate /D{N} page and its own review, but all linked together in a stack. And then still landed as separate commits in the actual repo. This is how code submission works with Mozilla's use of Phabricator.

Well, I didn't care whether it was phabricator or whatever it was using. It was bad.

No because they weren't optical, they were magnetic.

Yes it did. They were magnetic disks. And they were floppy. The outer case of a 3.5" was solid but just rip it open and you can see the disk itself is floppy.

Edit: oh right, you're talking about the different spellings. Those were entirely arbitrary. We mixed between the two.

This is factually incorrect. GOG famously has no DRM.

Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space series is modern and without humans as the bad guys. And highly recommended too. The books are also more standalone than calling it a series would suggest, but he also has lots of other one-shot books, and a few trilogies, if that would be a better way for you to try him out. I got into him via the standalone Pushing Ice.

Yes, highly recommend Reynolds, generally, although the third Rev Space book takes some fortitude to get through.

Curses, I was close. Also: yikes to the design.

Obviously "lust" is a forbidden word for domains. Must be a porn site.

Sounds like you're just sailing the wrong seas. Some have plenty of AV1. Though those tend to be more obviously advertised as such, I believe, so perhaps this is about downloads from YouTube.

> A more direct way that also bails out early

If it bails out early it is of no use to them.

> This means that if the test fails, I can see all the affected videos at once. If the test failed on the first AV1 video, I’d only know about one video at a time, which would slow me down.

Huh, I wonder why we would put potential interspecies messages on the probes we're sending into interstellar space, but not on the ones we are only putting into orbit around our neighbouring planet. Real mystery.
