 I also like crypto, but people in the typeface community tend not to 
 I like Nostr, but at the moment I feel that the users are skewed towards the crypto community 
 Speaking of which, I recently added a bold weight to 0xProto 🚀 https://image.nostr.build/38dddc6c931cfb306d22ac9bb871a47dd58b32318b34b7b994ac4141c4bb0a03.jpg

 Something wrong with #Amethyst ?
It seems that I can't refer all relays.

 I cleared the application cache, but nothing changed 🤔 
 I'm in #Taipei 🇹🇼
Taipei is an interesting blend of city, countryside, and wilderness. https://image.nostr.build/b3080e32d76694a33696f429af98cc39a7dd7eb0f27259205e63e14bea84f43b.jpg 
 Been using an M1 MacBook Air and can't stop thinking about whether I should upgrade to an M3 
 Currently, I'm creating two new fonts.

One's a script monospace font, and the other's a proportional variable font. I'm planning to release both for free and open-source projects. 
 My designer self supports my artist self, kind of like a patron.

IMO, the key to keeping art activities sustainable is not relying on it solely for your living income. 
 Once a font's installed, most people stick with that version. But remember, fonts aren't just about looks; they're software too and can have bugs.

We should treat fonts or digital typefaces more like we do any other software on our OS, not just like static image files.

 i was like, #nostr has this vibe where it feels like it's not really the spot for posting anything too serious, you know? 🤔  
 with generative AI, like StableDiffusion or  we're heading towards a future where learning to use complex tools for creating images and videos won't be necessary

what's interesting is that more and more creations are coming from people who haven't honed their artistic skills – they just 'make it happen' with AI

this can sometimes be tough to watch, leading to what might be a modern version of the Arts and Crafts Movement, call it "Arts and Crafts 2.0"

kind of joking, but also kind of serious 🙂 

#AI #StableDiffusion #GenAI #GenerativeAI #GenerativeArt 
 i really don’t think just tweaking our beauty standards will be enough to halt the progress and use of generative AIs 
 ever since i got into #nostr , i've become way more aware of my privacy

it's been less than a week, and i'm already seeing things in a new light ⚡ 
 it looks nice 👍
including markdown extension, like diffs, word focus, #typescript twoslash,etc

 I'll try this on my next planning website  
 gm 😸🌅 
 yay, i finally got to sport the Nip-05 verified badge 🥳 #nostr 
 first got wind of the SSI (self-sovereign identity) approach for authentication via #nostr, and honestly, i'm pretty into it 🫰 
 can't believe I forgot, but it turns out I once made a #nostr account and even snagged the NIP-05 address matype_at_typo.social@mostr.pub with it 😭
is there a way to switch this over to my current account? 
 yes, i have my account on typo.social
i mean, i've created nostr account before( https://njump.me/nprofile1qqs8dxcz6uquxgcga57mkeftveegr3lpe6jvupc7zekkccwlmdrrtuqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qhhdt0a ), and matype_at_typo.social@mostr.pub is now tied to the account, so i'd like to deactivate it 
 isn't it? 😭 thanks a lot for letting me know! 
 seems like syncing posts and profiles isn't happening
is this a client issue or something wrong with the relay? 🤔 

#nostr 
 oddly enough, I can't seem to make any posts from #Coracle anymore🤔 
what's up with that? 
 isn't it wild how the vibe on #nostr totally flips depending on the client you're using?
it's like stepping into different worlds
now, i'm in #bitcoin land 🤙 
 just set up my #nostr  
can you see me? is my relays setting correct? 🤔 
 thanks! you are my first visitor 🥰 
 thanks a bunch😉
