I've been using it for years, just want to say thank you, given the occasion.

I base that on the fact that people seemed to spend quite a bit of time trying to find the phrase "the confetti has left the cannon" that GPT-4 phrased. It seems Google search has no records of it before then?

Could it be that the expression in some form has been used in languages other than English?

It looks like a fork of Luxi Mono with slashed zero, which is available in ttf. And there is a more modern version of it with better character coverage -- Go Mono.

Also worth mentioning:

`r` is a little weird with its wide flat top, otherwise it's a great font. Would love to see Greek and Cyrillic support too.

You are not alone, but I just use bookmarks for that. Is using Pocket any different from that, e.g. does it save pages internally so if the original site goes down the page will still be available in Pocket?

There is an option in `about:config` for that -- `services.sync.sendTabToDevice.enabled`, disabled by default. Suggest you to enable it and try it out.

Is anyone here using ortho-k lenses? I've replaced my usual soft contacts and been wearing them for half a year now and it's so much easier on the eyes. Although I still see slight halos and by the evening my vision is noticeably worse, I can't complain. And I have an option to undo all this, unlike some poor LASIK patients.
