I'm curious. Did you ask it to use tables and no CSS? In 1996, We had only css1. Ask it to use tables to do this, perhaps.

In 2018, I read the Valmiki Ramayana by the Tungabhadra river in Hampi. I wrote to its translator, Bibek Debroy—a correspondence I’ve cherished—and today I’ve digitized that letter to share with the world.

I started skimming this but it seemed to be more of a learning how to learn CS book. I'm a fan of his other works. This one, I'm not so sure the right folks are going to find it when they need it/ should use it.

Dunno why I can't reply to your other comment explaining what you mean but hot damn. False evaluation of a cheap painting to save on taxes? That's mental.

There's a comment by a maintainer here that it's improved on way land. I use xorg though, haven't switched to wayland yet.

Aerospace is the best thing by far. I've tried Yabai, Rectangle and Yabai. Nothing as good as even native Windows sadly. Heck, even replacing spotlight is a pain.

It's so out of the way isn't it? I have to switch to using a Mac for work and I can't get the Aerospace filing window manager to work like Qtile does. It's a shame.
