That cleverclogs @eligrey has a font which encrypts text.

Yeah, OK, it is only ROT13. And any substitution cipher can probably be broken using frequency analysis.
It's possible to use font ligatures to obfuscate the text even more. See Bullshit Sans as an example - https://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/
So, there you have it. A way to *sort of* encrypt a statically served HTML file without using Javascript.
HAPPY SUNDAY!

The stages of playing with GPT-3:

- There goes my job
- I should start a business around this
- Some of the responses aren’t too good
- Actually, some of these responses are just awful
- This isn’t really intelligence
- This is just spicy autocomplete

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.
@stavvers awesome! humungous pockets rule. also, if you're lucky a netbook may fit inside one :)
