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.

if you only hadn't compiled aella's numerous interesting takes including her very idiosyncratic (and dangerous to anyone involved) ideas of consent.

but they did it from first principles and without needing to update their priors!

 

tl;dr: nsf requested that python software foundation affirms that they “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws”.

the psf has withdrawn the proposal instead.

 

from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.
