They've got a new web viewer in this issue that can be used to link to individual articles and might be nicer than reading a PDF on some screens: https://pagedout.institute/webview.php?issue=8&page=1
Still would like a straight html version for reading on a phone. One with resizable text and proper reflow.
> Obviously the used fonts should be readable (and ideally their name shouldn't start with "Comic" and end with "Sans", though there might be some article topics that justify even that!), and while almost any font meets this requirement, please be careful when selecting a non-standard font.
I kinda want to see such an article, but taken seriously discussing the history of the font, its design and purpose, evolution, and purpose-related/derivative font families.
So great to find that spirit again!
I highly recommend it if you enjoy writing. It was painless and fun.
A nice break from writing blogs.

Boy, PoC||GTFO is my favorite "magazine". No, not giving spoilers except there might be some polyglot files.
I can highly recommend buying these printed in the "bible style" binding with finger cutouts, ribbon bookmark and everything. https://nostarch.com/gtfo3
Am I to understand that Aga is an AI bot? I see nothing mentioned about this in the FAQs or the webpage. Makes me wonder if this zine may be written by AI agents reproducing the old hacker magazine aesthetic.
Or is "bot-in-chief" some kind of tongue-in-cheek formulation that I can find nothing about online? Aga is listed as "Editor-in-Chief" on the About page.
some of this articles I wish I could read more (i.e IDA Database) :)
I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.
Thanks for the suggestion! I wouldn't mind having such articles in PO! tbh - let me think what can we do about it (or rather: let me pass this to the rest of the team so they think about it too).
