This reminded me on the "Hope" experiment they did on rats:

This is one of the more fascinating and cruel studies of the 1950's

I was doing a similar experiment recently to generate random names that sound like names from a specific language.

I was breaking the list of names apart into 3 and 2 letter parts, marking which fragments are from the start, middle and end.

To generate the words I started from a random one from the start fragments, then continued with a random one from the middle fragments that starts with the latter that the previous one ended with, and similarly ended it with one from the end fragments. Some examples:

Spanish Names:

Armusa Vantara Modria

German Names:

Ven Marwar, Ger Naroff, Vort Kraldent, Görn Henter, Urg Wicher, Wan Ehranus, Eck Hayazin, Wert Biewin, Rein Relberid,

Catalan:

Pallava Ecorus Sangana Ginavari Telamita Exorxió

Hungarian cities:

Jószög Alszeny Hernafő Garnáza Ragytúr Hidácska Mezécs

I remember finding a set of english names generated with a markov chain, I wish I know how to make it, they sounded good.

You can learn! I know it's easy to say something is easy to a beginner, but figuring out Markov chains is truly something you can get the basics of over a weekend if you've ever written any software at all.

I had the same issue with my 14,0" WQHD (2560x1440) laptop screen and my external monitor. I wanted to scale up only the laptop's screen so that I can read the text on it, but then my external monitor got scaled too large.

After using it for months like that I solved this by simply setting the resolution on the laptop to 1920x1080, and scaling to 1. I felt really stupid after that I did not do this sooner.

That's not an optimal solution though, because you're relying on your screen to do non-integer scaling and you'll have blurrier fonts etc. as a result.

If your software supports non-integer scaling it can render things with that knowledge and give you crisp edges on the edge of text and UI elements.

This is great for practicing! Would it be difficult to implement a page where users could copy-paste text and use the same engine to retype them?

Hello and thanks for giving the site a go! Something like this is planned for the future, so do keep an eye out!

This gave me the cold chill. I think I will print it and put it on the wall.
