Why are footnotes, non-clickable ones at that, still a thing in 2026¹?

Are Unicode combining characters (dotted circles) visible on the screenshot by design?

Can't imagine producing and selling this under the current regulations (and not just the crash-worthiness). I with they and C15 move towards each other...

git-absorb (https://github.com/tummychow/git-absorb) does a bit more, figuring out the exact changes that should be fixed up.

My sentiments aside, I'd like to know if it will actually help, and if my ebook reader (which doesn't scroll) is actually okay. So, looks like they could have extracted more knowledge here...

I'm not seeing control groups scrolling books and/or using a paginated interface?

How are cursors stored and drawn on let's say macOS? Honest question, comparing with X is easy but not exactly state of the art.

Work gave me a MacBook computer, the box experience is positive until you need to crush it for recycling (not to take a lot of space in the bin). All the corners are glued together super strongly, the inside mold just doesn't crush, there are boxes just to hold paper booklets... I'm surely a minority but Dell packaging is more delightful when you consider this (and surely the single material - cardboard - is easier to recycle too).

Reading this article is completely safe even if you already understand idempotency.

How about the cursor position? The spec talks about "Sixel Scrolling Mode" but I couldn't find any way to display a sixel image inline: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70647549/displaying-a-si...

Does Sixel have a spec? I.e. how large are the pixels, whether there's a newline after the image (couldn't find how to turn that _off_)?

Recently discovered Kitty's graphics protocol (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/) which has more features or at least more documented ones :)
