JFC I wish they would stop using Courier as the default font. It's like looking down the barrels of a shotgun. Consolas ftw.
I like Courier. Are we gonna bash our heads in and argue over personal preferences?

Unfortunately the person who owns putty.org started to use it to spread misinformation about vaccines and the pandemic, as you can see on the site today. This recently [1][2] got a lot of attention on the web and here on HN, along with a post on Mastodon from the author [3] I imagine trying to disincentivize this and provide another shorter more official looking link is the hope here.

> Since 2020 I have been speaking out against the fraudulent pandemic and the intentionally dangerous injections and my experience has been to have been censored and smeared. If you have not heard of me before, that's the reason. One weird trick to make your insignificance seem significant!
Extrapolated to the present time, all of us vaccinated individuals are now suffering the big consequences.
Too bad all nutjobs aren't so easy to disprove by simply taking a single large breath. :)

My first 3 matches are https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.ht... , https://www.putty.org/ and https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Assuming he owns the green end.org.uk domain, why not letting people land on putty.greenend.org.uk ?
It's incredible to me that this tool is still needed. Using putty as my daily driver was definitely part of my coming-of-age story as a windows sysadmin way back when.

The first link I get when I searched for "putty" was `putty.org` which, according to the footer: "The PuTTY project or its authors have never owned this domain, registered it, or purchased it." Nevertheless, I can't consider relying on probabilistic algorithms controlled by 3rd parties to be a wise strategy. Also, these days, after decades of habit building and a rise in awareness about scam-related stuff, I think pe…
> I can't consider relying on probabilistic algorithms controlled by 3rd parties to be a wise strategy. That's pretty much all of the AI industry and clients.
Thats a blast from the past, I'd completely forgotten about putty (moved away from Windows when Vista came out). The pain of SSH on an OS that seems to be intentionally made to be as clunky as hell for developers however is never something I'll miss.
