@tante Ich möchte eine angepasste Variante davon gerne bei der Tagesschau und anderen Medien installieren. Das würde helfen, den öffentlichen Diskurs endlich auf das erforderliche Niveau zu heben.

@tante This is pretty good. By which I mean Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE Renee Good was murdered by ICE.

@tante It''s like a Word Lie Detector. I wish SOMEONE could inject this into "Truth Social", and "X" and every other reich wing blog, don't YOU?

@tante How it works
Times New Resistance autocorrects specific words as they are typed.

That's what it does, but how does it work?

My best guess is, a boatload of custom ligatures to, you know, make certain glyph combinations more readable and visually pleasant. Chef's kiss!

@ulfr @tante yeah I didn't even realize you could so stuff like this in a font file, would love to hear some of the technical details as well, this is really cool and opens up a lot of possibilities

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@beaiouns @ulfr it's called ligatures. A ligatures is a symbol in a font that replaces other symbols being put next to one another. It's intended to be able to design pretty "ff" or so, but this experiment really went with it

@tante Thanks for confirming! In my eyes this was the only portable way for a font to pull off a stunt like that, didn't get to check right away. Appreciate the elegance, too! @beaiouns

@tante I spy an infinite loop of 'Kristi Noem killed a puppy'. still worth it.
