You don't see your desktop as in it's always covered or as in your WM hides the root window?

I implore you to try Rust.

Kotlin is just Java with extra steps.

Alcohol is the worst drug and my alcoholic Pts are the sickest people.

We can't treat the pain because the liver is fucked.

Most suffer from EtOH dementia.

Nearly all have pulmonary hypertension to go along with their regular hypertension.

With that goes along CHF and pulmonary emboli and other CVA incidents.

Many suffer agony from pancreatitis, which again we can't treat because of damage to the live.

Alcohol ages every body system rapidly and most of my EtOH Pts have the physiological response of somone 20 years older.

It literally poisons every organ system.

My font already has ligature support for coding.

What does this font offer in support for unicode glyphs?

There's a pretty easy, cheap, and straight forward fix for this.

Stop using apple products. They are luke-warm in design and terrible in execution.

Get a PC: Supports Linux, windows, all your games (ALL) and has a mouse with more than one button.

TheDesolate0 — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 14:06:43 +0000

The only thing I really hate about firefox is the build. Building FF from scratch is a fucking nightmare. It's the only shitty package that REQUIRES python 2 for building.

That's what the world needs... More plastic garbage

40k seems a tad on the low side, by several orders of magnitude.

Seems like a hastily done spring projects

TheDesolate0 — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 15:00:24 +0000

Rust isn't hard, it's just more verbose than devs are used to because it forces you to think about lifetimes and types.

In Unix space we use text, almost exclusively. This byte stream thing is a windows/java bs thing.
