Make your data useless or wrong.
More passively, there’s probably an oddly large amount of John Does born on January 1, 2000 ;)
More offensively, anti-image-gen data poisoning such as Nightshade exists. It’s well-defended against IIRC so hopefully someone can Cunningham’s Law correct me. And this is also more solo of a movement (as opposed to gaining mass support for something)

NOOOOOO HOW DID I GET SHITTYMORPHED ON LEMMY
Soooooooo! How’d the exam go?
Nah. Marry me.
Not sure about the latter, but NZT was the focal “smart” drug in Limitless (a show on the premise “this drug makes u smart but if u stop taking it bad stuff happens”)
For those who jump around too much like I do, remember:
Not that in particular, but design often comes down to the function f(keywords the branding people like) = very same-looking things. Yay trends.
A lot of fashion companies wanted to be “simple. bold. modern but ready for the future.” Now all their logo fonts are basically the same. It’s also why everyone loves Futura.
With websites, brand people pick the keywords “calm, professional, modern, reliable” and end up with blue so much that it’s the most common website color. So I’m not surprised that the web designers in question picked something “friendly” and “modern” like some font you’d imagine would go well as white text on a matte or charcoal background.
Same reason why I see so much Comfortaa on slideshows (alphabetically near the start of the font list, and f(modern, smart) = title font)
Okay, what were your last ten hyperfixations? (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
And not to hang up on superficial stereotypes but metal is sophisticated too – a lot of the voicing/structure/styling is so classical-and-jazz that, with instrument switches, it can be indistinguishable. Don’t get me started on trying to claw my way through metal time signatures

Oh my God I LOVE FONTS
Spartan is a bit wide for me (see that w?) but Lato with a good colorscheme is always sexy
Another thing: if you’re familiar with fonts you can have a weird pseudo-Sherlock funtime guessing how something was made.
points This book is using Georgia instead of Times New Roman. See how the 9 is low? But the page numbers are Times New Roman because the 9 isn’t low. Was paging in the author’s control?

font with the light blue shading thing. This club recruitment poster was made in Microsoft Word.
About serif disdain… what about LaTeX’s serif? :}

This is a good take.
Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.
Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn’t it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?
(Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)
Also known as autoantonym (antonym of itself). e.g. “Because of my oversight, my project is finished.”
Did the person make an oversight, i.e. a mistake, and now his project is done for?
Or did the person’s well-adjusted oversight, i.e. management, help complete his project on time?
