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.

This actually messed with my head. I now see the comments misaligned on HN.

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.
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.

BLIT is interesting, but I wonder if precedence already exists in photosensitive epilepsy and sending flicker/stroboscope videos/gifs. Of course with a lot of caveats (rarely deadly, affects few), but the idea seems similar to me.
edit: Didn't find a case, but it is illegal in the UK at least.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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.

The existence of certain programs, or the tying of certain codewords to their subjects, can sometimes itself be classified. Sometimes just the fact that a program exists under a given codeword is itself classified information.

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.

Apparently it is illegal in the UK to do that and I'd guess it is illegal in most countries. https://www.epilepsy.org.uk/news/sending-triggering-images-o...
