This should be TFA, it's higher quality!

And doesn't require signup nonsense to download :/

Why are some of the names underlined?

And why do I only get � when I try to copy names in that PDF? It's like it's not real text, makes it impossible to search for names I think should be there.

PDFs can use any custom character encoding they like. By default, there doesn’t need to be a mapping to Unicode or whatever.

Sometimes it’s done deliberately to prevent easy copying, though in this case it might be more by accident than by design.

This was one of my projects. The underlined names were people who got 10 other people to donate, sort of the super-donors.

Cool, thanks!

Maybe "not being able to search" is a deliberate choice? I'm in there, I think. I won't mind showing up that much. Firefox is still OK. But I like how they don't presume I still want to show up there.

If you're searching for a name, it looks like they're mostly in alphabetical order by surname.

Oh man! Remember when pop up blocking was essential! Was the original adblocking and built into every browser.

And a reminder that enshitification began long, long ago.
