In this thread I'm documenting my #OpenStreetMap edits in Mandawali (#Delhi, #India), starting from sporadic edits in 2023 to near-daily edits in 2025. I used Vespucci almost exclusively.

AI shit, YT Link, fandom link, proprietary game
the tree specifically I think got to my brain from darkwood https://darkwood.fandom.com/wiki/Talking_Tree
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!
