<p>Is it now time to move on past my beloved Kitty terminal emulator? Now they want to bloat it with Nerd fonts built in.</p><p>I agree that patching in this way destroys the fonts. But the whole concept is a hack. I assume this is added so the maker no longer has to deal with bug reports & can point folks in the direction of _not_ patching fonts, but this now means the terminal is shipped with hundreds of useless glyphs… many of which are stupid-ass brands. With the tests now _requiring_ this font, Nixpkgs has the dependency too.</p><p>Heart is in the right place on this stance this time, but shipping bloat isn’t my idea good. I _love_ the Unicode picker so much & my least favorite part was trying to find certain symbols in the sea of Nerd font garbage, but since nothing rendered, it was easy to skip over these symbol visually & instead is full of noise.</p>
<p>I gotta write a blog post now. It’s gonna be like a million words, fuck</p>

@Mitsu@outerheaven.club woah happy birthday!! (message valid for 13 days after this post)
<p>5. Do you have a favorite RFC, and if so, what is it?</p>
<p>4. What's a recent fictional book by someone who isn't a white cisgender man (that is, who is in a relatively less privileged position) that you would love if more people knew about?</p>
<p>3. What's a great JRPG that isn't Final Fantasy that you wish more people would know about? (Or a more obscure / unloved Final Fantasy, really... just something that you want to put in a good word for!)</p>
