    I don't know what sort of MKUltra-esque psyop is going on with the font rendering on this website, but it is exceptionally trippy[1].

      I have been having this exact same issue across multiple websites recently, most of the time it's monospace fonts that have the issue - Github is a nightmare. It only started after I upgraded to Fedora 42.

      Haven't got to the bottom of it yet. I set Victor Mono as my Monospace font in Chrome and that has fixed it for things like the HN comment box, for instance, but Github and such still all look weird.

      I run into this on some other websites, I think it's just a font and Linux issue.

        It's terrible with Edge on Windows, not vertically misaligned terrible, but terrible, nonetheless.

          i think thats a general case

      It's not quite as pronounced for me, but it still seems to be a bit off. The CSS suggests that the intended font is GT America Extended.

      They are trying to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story) you :-)

      j/k. For me that occurs only when I zoom the site on FF under Linux, but not when I leave it at normal scaling, and use the 3 letters on the upper right side to change the font size instead.

        Oh, that looks like the original Snow Crash. Time to read it.

          It made me think of Infinite Jest too.

      Hey, go grab those Gateway files, I’m sure they have copies at the desk!

      Gateway II is disappointing and the hidden plot line is that these experiences are curated by superior handlers and these are the accounts as ordinary man would interpret them.

      Btw, were you being satirical? They won.

    Gateway Process is very similar to Buddhism Samahta Light Kasina meditation ( also the effects comes with it ). Had anyone tried that?

    It's interesting that they chose to redact some of the markings on the document. (e.g. you see "SECRET" and below that there's a redacted mark.)
    • psunavy03 2 hours ago
      That generally means that while the document was declassified, parts of it weren't, and the still-classified info obviously gets redacted.

      Information generally gets declassified after 25 years, but there are exceptions for when arbitrarily declassifying things could jeopardize capabilities that are still in use, burn intelligence sources who are still alive, etc.

      • hoistbypetard 3 minutes ago
        That makes sense. I just found it interesting that the markings were considered something that could fall into that category. I thought those were usually so broad (e.g. NOFORN) that they wouldn't be.

      Portion markings in the IC, at least in the modern era, will include both the classification and a compartment. The compartment is specific to the collection method, i.e. SI indicates signals intelligence, TK indicates satellite data. Since those can reveal the source of the data, that reveals capabilities that the agency may not want to reveal, even if the data itself is no longer sensitive enough to classify.

        Always 'member Trump and his release of a high resolution photograph from a satellite [1]. It took mere hours for people to work out which exact satellite was used to create the photograph and established a lower bound on its imaging capabilities.

    This is probably done by their recruitment division.
