i'm still remarkably happy with fedora's kde on my laptop, but i'm also very content with the current state of wayland (with obvious caveats about use cases and personal idiosyncrasies).
i'm running xfce on a remote ubuntu box at work though, using rdp for connections, and it's, well, fine. lacks some things i like in full DEs, but it's perfectly adequate for the job.
(both beat fucking windows 11 when it comes to being usable for me)
there's this. (though i find it useful to know who not to rely on if/when things get worse: for example i already know our neighbour from the apartment a floor below did write many missives to our cooperative's administration, without having a single reason.)
like i said, the actual value of that little exercise is finding people who are fine with killing up to 50% of the population for no reason whatsoever.
and of course there's absolutely nothing in the books that suggests it's a problem. (hell, there's a good chance there actually is a lively japanese folk dance fan community there despite the fact that earth was never a part of the culture.)
agree, plus: that blog is yet another case of people just not comprehending the scale of Culture's civilisation and Culture's culture. a Culture orbital is not just a fancy space station ffs.
mmhm, and I understand this is generally a problem with terminal emulators and complex scripts.
again, wezterm's author is very amenable to improve this.
i don't know how well does the support look like now, but i remember that wez furlong put quite an amount of work to have the visual representation of indic scripts be less painful, for example.
neuromancer is brilliant prose first and foremost, and yudkowsky not being able to realise this is so very symptomatic
