Nintendo makes it as hard as possible to use their computers generically.

Nintendo fanboys: "Thankyou, sir, may I have another?"

Do you think it is possible for our current level of scientific knowledge to exist in a hunter gather society?

Aw, gross.
kbin is written in php.
Thanks, but no thanks, lol.

That's a problem with kbin, then.
There are no tags in lemmy.

Lemmy uses the system default for monospace font.
Try changing the monospace alias in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration/Examples#Default_fonts

That's for system-wide effect.
For just firefox, go to Settings > General > Fonts > Advanced and
    change the default Monospace font to a monospace font you like.

Source Code Pro and DejaVu Sans Mono are both very good.

Can your web browser zoom the text out?

What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
    what am I supposed to do about that?
My phone can do that easily.

What is greentext?

Start and stop the message with three backticks on a line on their own:

```

This stuff gets rendered in fixed width with preserved whitespace.

```

It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
I put one sentence per line.
Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
    according to natural breaks in the sentences.
(I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
    the English is much easier to edit, and
    diffs are way cleaner.
(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)

Do you know of another way to preserve white space?
