So, @dang, I think we should switch the proportional font to Chicago.
- tobr 3y ago
  The way you phrased that sort of implies that Chicago would be monospaced, which it isn't.
  - rbanffy 3y ago
    Not sure how you got that - There is a lot of proportional fonts in the HN UI. I'd change the fixed-width one for Monaco.
    - tobr 3y ago
      I read it as “switch from a proportional font to Chicago”, but I suppose it can also be read as “switch only the proportional font to Chicago, leaving the monospaced one alone”.
      - rbanffy 3y ago
        We can also replace the monospaced with Monaco, and the colours to MacOS 7's. ;-)

I really want to know more about why this guideline was added: > DON'T... produce adult or "NSFW" content in connection with the event. Your PG-13 review of a classic Mac FPS game where you use language you'd hear on broadcast TV is likely fine. To be clear: We absolutely want to encourage everyone from all communities to participate in the event, but we just ask that folks do not produce NSFW content for the event. We're no prudes, but we do want to keep the event open to as wide an audience as possible (with the exception of potentially disenfranchising boudoir photography). Remember: it's about consent. Having some saucy content drop into someone's feed while they're looking for old Macs might be offputting or inappropriate to someone not looking for or unable to consent to viewing that content.

  > I really want to know more about why this guideline was added Could have been something innocent such as someone uploading Leisure Suit Larry content maybe? I understand (and kind of agree with) the organizers though. They want retro computing to be accessible for anyone, including kids. Retro computing is a great way for kids to learn about computers, but someone could really ruin that by posting NSFW content.

  Your question is answered if you actually read to the end of the paragraph. It sounds like you know why and you want to argue about it.

    I want to know specifically what saucy retro Mac content this is about, because i have trouble imagining any. It sounds like you didn't understand what i was asking.
