Tough crowd!

- “Look, I wrote an operating system!”

- “Meh the font is weak”

Peak HN IMO :D

The fact that the OP built an entire hobby OS complete enough to have windowing and font rendering, and got it booting off his vintage notebook, is extremely impressive, and much more so than the ChatGPT frontends and Chrome reskins that HN usually enthusiastically updoots.

I meant it as sincere constructive criticism! :) <3

  • Yeah I thought as much. Sorry for the bad joke, it was not my intention to accuse or offend anyone. The discussion on fonts continued into cool technical areas like bitmapping!

    My point was: I would not expect such a response anywhere else but HN :)

    Someone in the crowd was already there and is wearing the t-shirt - that’s why I come here <3

The power of the crowd compells you.
