I feel like my prayers have been answered, was looking for a good pixel font for the web and this seems like what I need! It's also monospaced so I can use it for programming

PixelForgon Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features

Thanks to your comment I finally understand what flat means in the context of UIs :)

PixelForgon Stract: Open-souce, non-profit search engine

Search still needs some improvement, I typed "gundam watch order reddit" and was expecting some reddit links, but none of the results are reddit links. Perhaps there's another way to limit search results to a particular site here?

PixelForgon Expressive text-to-image generation with rich text

I'm impressed by the pixel art generation, will definitely try it.

PixelForgon My Caste

No, we don't need caste-based reservations in the private sector. (And I'm saying this as someone that's ST). That would further increase the divide between castes, and I've never heard of anyone being denied a job in private sector based on their caste. It's definitely not the norm.

Reservation should be meant to uplift 1-2 generations, I don't see the point in giving reservation beyond that. I've seen so many rich people from lower castes getting into institutions easily and also availing scholarships by faking their parents yearly income. The whole system is rigged to be honest.

PixelForgon My Caste

I wasn't even aware of my caste (ST) until I joined intermediate(equivalent to 11-12 grade). I feel like I'm lucky that I didn't face any sort of caste discrimination. I guess it depends on which part of India you live in.

PixelForgon Show HN: Learn a language quickly by practising speaking with AI

Looks amazing! But will you be adding other languages like Marathi(15th most spoken) and Telugu(16th) if possible?

PixelForgon First 'tooth regrowth' medicine moves toward clinical trials in Japan

Aren't they generally less effective than flossing with threads?

PixelForgon It’s time for Alphabet to spin off YouTube?

Your analogy is only correct if you watch content that's recommended to you, but many of us actively watch YouTubers we have subscribed to, in that case it makes sense for the creators to get paid then. Edit - Edited the comment a bit

PixelForgon L Ives

I really love this! It also looks good on my phone and has given me some inspiration for my own website.

Choosing the tool isn't the issue for me, writing is.

PixelForgon Gentoo Is a Project Car

My currrent setup consists of KDE desktop on Gentoo stable as the base and using the AUR(through distrobox) for installing any packages not in the main repo and also any package that would rely on 32 bit packages (steam for example) and I'm pretty satisfied by it!

It's just amazing how it all glues perfectly and I no longer have to distrohop.

PixelForgon Tell HN: From $200/mo to $18k in 5 years as solo founder

I can't even imagine, my yearly income is $8350, and I still manage to save money (Indian here as well)

PixelForgon Ask HN: Do you hate software engineering but love programming?

As a junior software engineer, I think the same but perhaps I have come to the conclusion too early. What I know is that I want work to always be easy or maybe with slight difficulty, and keep the hard stuff for personal projects. That way I wouldn't feel much stress.

PixelForgon On the Gnome project and “my way or the highway”

The only reason I'm still using Gnome is because their UI is consistent plus it's easy to theme it as well(through Gradience), but I can't deny that I hate the CSD initiative. I'm eagerly waiting for the new Cosmic DE from PopOs!

PixelForgon How are you doing?

How is no one talking about the background music yet? Don't see the name mentioned anywhere, it sounds pretty good for concentrating.

PixelForgon Japanese Manga are being eclipsed by Korean webtoons

In my experience, manga are more detailed which is what I'll take over colored but less detailed stuff any day. And the huge spaces between the panels makes manwha even worse. Only manwha I've enjoyed reading is https://www.webtoons.com/en/drama/the-sound-of-magic-annaras...

PixelForgon I don’t want to be an internet person

This article has been eye opening for me, I too spent a lot of my time on the internet but thankfully never came across the deep end. Made me realize that there's no point in keeping up with memes and stuff and made me think about what actually matters
