does this also block blind people who depend on an e-reader?

If this gets any adoption, it will work for about a week, after which scrapers will just detect the font, and do a reverse lookup of its mapping table.

Ironic that the repo of the font is also AI slop. If the author had asked any competent person how viable the solution is, instead of a sycophantic AI, they would have just gotten a laugh instead.

DRM is suddenly popular and people think it will work this time.

A terrible idea that will hinder everyone and not serve it's original purpose in a flash.

• anything that parse the page is broken, this includes screen reader, but also indexing, searching, and people that replace fonts locally for accessibility or other reasons
• the "solution" for accessibility is pure trash
• it can be trivially detected and reversed. I suspect LLM would be incredibly better at adapting to this than anything done manually too

It's basically a kid playing with "encrypshun" client-side, giving both the cipher and the key to the client and hoping it'll work. Or, as other put it, DRM that don't work for any of its original purpose, but create an additional layer of complexity and missing features, a common trend in modern projects.

I want to follow that project. The only thing that I don't like is how heavily reliant the person who runs the github is on AI-gen

Normally, I don't really care about it because I know that it's something that is just a part of the industry now, but they're using it even on their responses to people on the issue requests, and it's to the point where it's hurting my head trying to read it due to how drawn out and detailed it ends up being.

It's really hard to follow along a project where something as simple as someone opening an issue about how it doesn't work with screen readers turns into a multi paragraph essay about the project and possibilities on how it works.

JUST USE ANUBIS

Protection through obfuscation is not real protection. This has been an ongoing thing in the security world and is especially relevant for software. All obfuscation does is protect you from script kiddies (which AI isnt) and make the actual process slower for legitimate users. Like all DRM it only really hurts the people legitimately using your software.

Someone needs to tell Sxan about this

If the underlying text says one thing but the font makes it appear to say something else, which version does the author own the copyright to?

they really cooked with that video, got me more excited than with most trailers
