Back when I was a kid I had an idea to generate a randomized alphabet and then program my computer to only use that font, then I'd slowly learn to read it.
Then no one could read text over my shoulder!

I never did it, but in the era of MS Recall, maybe I should bring it back.

@foone Or, and hear me out here, just never “upgrade” to Windows 11?

@foone I have experience in this :) I did it in form of my own font.

@foone there is the whitespace programming language… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29

I’ve been thinking we need an adversarial font that can be read by humans but confuses OCR.

@foone Hehe. @Nifflas did that a few years ago. Replacing characters one at a time to get used to them. I tried it too, but I was terrible at making fonts. :(

@foone could probably be very doable if you swap out one letter at a time until eventually they're all different

@foone I started teaching myself Shavian script a while back, it's surprising how quick a new alphabet is to learn, especially if you DIY your own I bet
