I was using Google Fonts and Google must’ve changed the font file. Switching to a self-hosted version solved it. So this could be something similar, or maybe the browsers have changed how they render it. I can confirm -webkit-text-stroke is also broken with that particular font on Mac OS (but works if you change it to something like Arial). 2026-06-05T14:53:55+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv08eyrquhen62nydyy87d9m42ez6yq2yj800agqm7803ka69nkuqzyqw0j994mkn8v6lzrstkqdgksu7uj020fjjlgk945c5r7pfqammgkujvxpy This from <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1r42f8q8vxp4vsdye6y8tfhuvankd9fzemtzrd54vd3c35kvg79hs79qzuz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Robb</span> (<span class="italic">npub1r42…qzuz</span>)</a></span> resonates: <a href="https://robbowen.digital/wrote-about/looking-elsewhere/">https://robbowen.digital/wrote-about/looking-elsewhere/</a><br/><br/>I’ve been feeling the cultural burnout hard, and struggling with the idea of staying in an industry that is increasingly making me sick to my stomach.

I’m simplifying the arguments, but blaming over-population can imply that the poorest are to blame with higher birth rates, when in fact they contribute very little to the climate crisis and we should be addressing inequality and over-consumption. 2024-11-27T15:54:26+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz7turjhyf9at73z9mpj0zywgwaf2m8gvw5lkq552wpry5qm8q0uqzyqw0j994mkn8v6lzrstkqdgksu7uj020fjjlgk945c5r7pfqammgkjyvvxt These are some great public speaking tips from <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1my7cn6hpkawrsyccsnc2wapy754lvelvcf0zuxmzh3nzz0n3gayqgxc5nd" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Stephanie 🔮 Web Witch</span> (<span class="italic">npub1my7…c5nd</span>)</a></span>: <a href="https://blog.stephaniestimac.com/posts/2024/11/public-speaking-tips/">https://blog.stephaniestimac.com/posts/2024/11/public-speaking-tips/</a><br/><br/>I identify strongly with this post, and have felt even *more* anxious when speaking over the past year, despite having done loads of talks over the years.

Trying to find genuinely green web hosting is currently frustratingly opaque, as I’ve written before. It will be good to have greater clarity and transparency around this. <a href="https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/reviewing-the-evidence-we-accept-for-green-hosting-verification/">https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/reviewing-the-evidence-we-accept-for-green-hosting-verification/</a> #SustyWeb 2024-09-04T10:50:10+02:00
