- Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit? 3 weeks ago:
Personnally, I started never answering to any unknown number (masked caller id or even just numbers not in my contacts). When it’s legit, caller leave a message on voicemail. Scammer, direct marketing,… never leave messages. Ok I still get the call and have to ignore or reject it (but it’s better than answering and having a commercial starting his speech).

Somehow related, I have also questions as an European (Belgian) who then observe what is happening right now in the USA with curiosity (and fear to be honest). In my country, we have got a new government almost at the same time Trump was inaugurated. They plan to do some changes to the way some aspects of our society is, changes that are a bit difficult for some categories of the population but really nothing like in the USA. Anyway, since January, there have been strikes, protests, people going in the streets,…
Why are we not seeing such things in the USA? I would have thought that there will be millions of people in the streets protesting against the F-gesture done to democracy, LGBT rights, women rights, nonsense with economy (tarriff, that at the end the “middle class workers” will have to pay) and foreign politics but, as far as we are aware here in Europe, I seen no such protests. The only action I seen is some boycott of Tesla.
- Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?
- Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?
- Are people scared to protest?
- Or, people just don’t care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?

So, legacy one (without next) is already available on a lot of kobo e-reader. But you should be able to install any TTF font on kobo: help.kobo.com/…/13009477876631-Load-fonts-onto-yo…

The original Atkinson Hyperlegible (without Next) is available by default on some Kobo e-readers. I use it for a few months now and I find that indeed it helps reading at night (or without my glasses because it’s nice to remove them from time to time).
