I think this is the first time a website I visited has had a font size larger than I can comfortably read. :) Usually they're normal, acceptably smaller, or too small.

@Kissaki Thank you! That is by design!! I never understood why other websites have smaller font by default. I thought everybody wanted users to actually read the things they put up on the website

Note that I wrote larger than comfortable, though. :)

I wish websites would simply respect the browser's default font size, and then people can make their choice according to their needs and wants.

@Kissaki Yeah, I missed that! Whoops, my mistake! I can understand that. I'm having someone help me with the CSS.

Good read.

And it's on point: the purpose of most new tech, especially out of the US, is to attract funding, rather than the betterment of society.

@deadbeef79000 Thank you! I don’t know what you alls equivalent of boosting is but consider sharing it.
