Why on earth is all the text on that website set to font-weight:600 and using Courier New of all fonts? Incredibly hard to read.


GNU/Design.


Optimized for "white on black" color scheme. http://marc.info/?q=configure


That still looks terrible, hehe



I can read the website perfectly fine. It may not be shiny like all the iCrap, but it doesn't need to attract "average" users (e.g. spoiled, rich 12-year olds).

I would rather prefer kernel hackers to do something useful, instead of wasting time and money to make every LKML archive look aesthetically beautiful.

hackers != designers


So angry. Did you design Courier New or something?

I guess not, so there's no reason.


I think his point explains git beautifully.


True story.

(I bet all of them had their terminal font set to Courier New Bold while doing so)


I don't know if it's safe here to admit it, but I always kinda liked the xterm fonts.

Is there something wrong with me?


No, fixed space fonts can be beautiful.


icrap , you crap.
