Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used nin 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!

It’s unsurprising that Bluesky caved to censorship demands from a government. They caved against a B-list transphobic “columnist” for crying out loud. You know who wouldn’t cave? The nerd running your Fedi instance who shitposts about robotfucking while zonked out of their gourd.
@gabek what do you think about this library? Have you seen it before? I felt like this might be right up your alley 😄
This is sick!!!! :O
Finally someone did it -- created something that has all the benefits of JSX, but not based on DOM / JSDOM

this is the correct attitude for open source projects. free software is political.
