The font I use, IBM Plex Mono, I chose not because I love the font, but because it's the one I love most of the fonts with CJK variants (which basically means IBM Plex, Google Noto, or Adobe Source). It's unfortunate because I rea

What you call 'downstream freedom' isn't very downstream. The real downstream is the end user, who should have the right to know what the software is doing on their computer, to recompile the software so it works on their mac

Yes. And even considering the locations of C, X, and V on the QWERTY layout, I wouldn't type Control with any of those with one hand.

If you swap caps for left control, do you swap return for right control? I've been taught not to type modifier + key with one hand. Dvorak + Emacs user here, by the way. In my opinion mouse use is okay, but I think a drawing tablet is

How's the a11y story under Plan 9? I always thought of Plan 9 as being very forward thinking for its time but unfortunately stuck in the past in various ways, but are there screen readers and voice input and everything?

You could just open your twitch chat via an IRC client, then you (might?) not count as your own viewer.

Aw, no love for Arkane Linux (< https://www.arkanelinux.org/ >)? It seems a bit more 'properly immutable' than the 'distributinos' listed in TFA.

Yes, but it seems to me like atgreen takes care to ensure the result is decent, so I would hesitate before calling it slop. I may be wrong, though.

A lot, to the point where there's an entire security page in perldoc: < https://perldoc.perl.org/perlsec > I wonder if a taint mode for SBCL would mean ignoring SBCL_HOME... that'd be a bit annoying for runnin

I grabbed an upgrade at the end of last year because my ~10 year old workhorse is starting to show signs of aging. Despite 16 gigs of RAM having lasted me thus far I decided to bite the bullet and get 32; so I expect this new machine to las

Yea, like when Ubuntu switched from System V init to Upstart. Or when they created Mir to replace X. Or when they created Snap for distro-independent packages. Or when they forked GNOME into Unity. ...man, when did Ubuntu start losing every

If you want hibernation then you just encrypt your swap partition like you encrypt your root partition.

Bright, big, and colourful are exactly the things I want from a theming kit, though (that said, I'm a GNU/Linux head, if I have my way I'll never touch anything from Apple again).

I would argue that grep-like tools which read .gitignore violate the Principle of Least Astonishment (POLA). It would be fine if there were a --ignore flag to enable such functionality, but defaulting to it just feels wrong to me. Obviously

I have two left hands (and one of them is backwards) and components spontaneously disintegrate when I touch them. I know I'm not capable of building a computer so I bought mine from Tuxedo computers, who sell computers running GNU&#x2F

It's weird that those give me nostalgia when I clearly remember our PC having a monochrome monitor. I wonder if my brain is retrofitting stuff or whether if any of those survived to Windows 98.

The real differences are things that maintainers do. Like how... OBS I think? ...had a bunch of people come in with issues that only existed in the Debian version. Debian software has a bunch of patches, Arch software has far fewer and stic

You and me both (though I'm also annoyed by the overuse of macros instead of inline functions and the woeful lack of docstrings and type declarations).

That's odd, I'm using Wayland on my desktop and, for example, Japanese input works 問題ない. Then again, I haven't tried every possible input method/peripheral in existence, so I may just be the one in [some arbitrary large

Desktop mode on the Steam Deck uses X11. I think that's why the brightness control is fucked up (ever notice how the brightness is always 40% when you switch to desktop mode?). You can manually switch it to Wayland, but Steam input is

Separate scaling fractions on separate monitors doesn't work under X. Well, I lie: it does work under zaphod mode, but no applications other than Emacs support that.

The way to get a website for your small restaurant used to be having Jim's nephew make one for you and you'd give him a pizza and a six pack as payment for setting it up.

Did you respond to the wrong comment? My comment said nothing about language permanence, though I would say that some measure of evolution can sometimes be for the better. I doubt many people would prefer programming in Java 1.4 over Java 2

As someone who also first got introduced to Lisp through SICP and Scheme, I don't really care about Lisp-1 versus Lisp-2, but I don't much fancy minimalism. I switched to CL for the type declarations and just got used to funcall a
