I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

“shouldn’t have to” ≠ "don’t want to*

I’m the one that doesn’t want to learn anything then you drop an “England” on me? I’m Scottish or does that not matter because is it too much for you to learn that the UK is more than England?

My brain is filled with far too much shite about measurements. I love all of it. I’m a great lover of odd and obscure imperial units. Please don’t try to tell me I don’t want to know.

I do know that but my point is that I shouldn’t have to know that. Imperial fluid measurements outside the pint aren’t used anywhere else in my life.

I’m a Scottish nationalist and republican (in the British sense). It’s one of my pipe dreams to see an independent Scotland adopt the metric system fully but I kinda doubt it will ever happen.

Who the fuck knows honestly? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

!Imperial!<

(may be a bit of an off topic rant)

The cluster fuck that is the UK’s measurement system can be easily summarised by looking at fueling a car.

You fill your car from a pump that sells you litres of fuel. Then your car reports its fuel economy in miles per gallon.

How the fuck am I supposed to relate the 40 litres of diesel that I just bought to the 35 MPG on my dashboard without a fucking calculator?

I fucking hate it here. It’s the exact same British exceptionalism that brought us fucking Brexit.

I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they’d add an account for it.

I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.

I’ve managed to create marijuana and bong after five minutes of messing with it. Perfect game.

Edit: I’m really narrowing in on this niche: Stoner + Couch = Pothead

It works fine for me in Fennec on Android

UK Mail is owned by DHL

What? The Royal Mail is the UK’s national post service and has been an independent entity since it was (stupidly) privatised in 2011.

Thanks for the advice, I’d not heard of that particular distro. I’m quite comfortable with Fedora so I think I’ll give it a shot

I’ve got a Surface Pro 5 with the dogshit m3 processor and 4GB of Ram, anyone have any concept of how it’d run under linux? It basically folds at any real task in Windows

I can confirm that Neko still works flawlessly for me. I only use Mangadex so have never really been interested in the wider Tachiyomi space.

+1 on this, I switched to Wezterm on my windows work machine to get most of the features missing from alacrity without having to go through the hoops to get a tmux like experience on windows.

I used to do Windows -> Alacrity -> WSL2 -> Tmux then launch my Windows powershell core session inside that terminal.
