Noticing someone with a double-barrelled last name and long first name.

Made me remember a person I met with a triple hyphenated last name! Must've been tough to wield day-to-day!

A

For your regular every-day name, eg introducing yourself (not your full legal name) how many syllables does it take to say it?

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

Russia has been officially equated with North Korea

The EU will include Russia in the list of countries with a high risk of money laundering and terrorist financing.This is reported by Politico.This step will tighten control over all transactions and force banks to introduce additional measures to reduce risks.This will further restrict the access of Russian companies to financial services.The blacklist already includes North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela and other "respected partners".

Fail, fail and fail again...

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims.

The ICO's failure to enforce data protection law adds insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

There is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in React Server Components.

Even if your app does not implement any React Server Function endpoints it may still be vulnerable if your app supports React Server Components.

If your app’s React code does not use a server, your app is not affected by this vulnerability.

CVE-2025-55182

Mastodon server not impacted btw.

It has been my habit since exiting Twitter to no longer share anything personal publicly but this conversation that folx are having regarding children who go “no contact” has been triggering.

I haven’t spoken to my mom since August 1, 2023 because maintaining that relationship was a burden that I could no longer bear and I grieve that loss everyday. I miss the relationship I wish we could’ve had.

While I’ve seen a number of reports emphasizing record spending on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there’s an interesting detail. Salesforce reports their data shows prices are up 7% year over year while orders are down 1%.

So the record spending is due to inflation not increased buying.

日本遊戲開發者面臨字型授權費從 380 美元暴漲到 2 萬美元的困境 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/japanese-devs-face-font-licensing-dilemma-as-leading-provider-increases-annual-plan-price-from-380-to-20000

日本遊戲開發者近來面臨前所未有的字型授權危機。原本提供平價商用字型授權的 Fontworks LETS 結束遊戲用授權方案後,其母公司 Monotype 推出的新方案價格從原本每年約 380 美元暴漲至超過 2 萬美元,且不提供日本本地價格,並附帶 2.5 萬名使用者上限,對大型遊戲公司幾乎完全不可行。日本遊戲開發高度依賴能精準呈現漢字與片假名的高品質字型,而字型替換會牽動到 UI、版面、測試與跨平台一致性,對長期營運型遊戲更是嚴峻負擔。部分工作室主管指出,這種變動甚至可能迫使企業重新打造品牌識別,只因公司識別字型已無法負擔續約。

這起事件也凸顯西方企業收購日本公司後常忽視本地市場的狀況。從未提供日圓計價到缺乏在地支援,都被日本業界視為破壞合作關係的舉動,也迫使開發者迅速尋求替代來源,像是轉往台灣的華康(DynaComware)等其他亞洲字型供應商。然而,對於已在市場上營運的作品,更換字型需重新驗證大量 UI 元件與文本呈現,成本可觀,使許多開發者進退兩難。

在 Hacker News 討論中,許多人批評 Monotype 的商業模式與私募基金式操作,只追求短期收益,卻不顧長期信任與市場穩定。有開發者分享遭遇 Monotype 類似大幅漲價的案例,指出其策略幾乎等同壟斷行為。討論也延伸至 CJK(中日韓文字)字型為何昂貴:其字元量動輒上萬,每個字的筆畫、結構與視覺協調都需耗費大量人工調整,無法與拉丁字母字型相比。即便 Google Noto 等開源字型存在,許多創作品仍需要符合特定氛圍與美術風格的專業字型,而不是「能顯示就好」。

部分討論聚焦於 AI 是否能取代字型設計,但多數開發者認為現階段大型語言模型(LLM, Large Language Model)或生成式模型難以處理 CJK 字型的細緻度,尤其涉及字形風格轉換、筆畫筆勢、文化審美與一致性等要求,仍需大量人工修正,難以真正節省成本。有人指出 AI 輔助在 CJK 字型的部分領域早已存在,但距離「取代高品質商用字型」仍非常遙遠。

整體而言,此事件揭露日本遊戲產業在字型授權上的結構性依賴,也凸顯全球字型市場在 CJK 領域的供應稀缺、授權複雜與成本不透明問題。許多討論者推測,此次暴漲可能會意外促使更多開發者轉向開源字型,或加速業界探索新的字型供應鏈,甚至形成更廣泛的對抗壟斷趨勢。
