You can tell the age by the filename. 🤣 This file was stored on an LS120 disk for a while around 1997, then copied to a CD-R, then finally from there to my NAS in 2016.

I’m a control freak and a tinkerer. Almost everything I do in the realm of computers is about understanding how it works and being able to tweak it. I rarely care about “just getting things done”.
And I’m tired of fighting. Sure, what I want to do *might be possible* on macOS or Windows or Android or whatever – but those systems are not *meant* to be used like I want to. On the other hand, Linux and BSD give me all the tools I need and they don’t get in my way (usually – OpenBSD can be quite opinionated).
Smartphones and tablets are a lost cause to me. Most manufacturers obviously hate it if the user is in control of anything, so they lock it all down. Android is the lesser evil (last time I tried it wasn’t *that hard* to write your Android app, but that was like 10 years ago) and it offers you slightly more options than iOS (simple things like settings your own ringtone …), but it’s still not something that I enjoy using.

(I’d still prefer it if smartphones/tablets were more like the PC world, where installing arbitrary OSes is the norm: Nobody stops me from running a current Linux distro on my 15 year old machine. But I’m afraid that ship has sailed.)

The only good thing is that they support iPhones for a long-ish time. The Android ecosystem is so ridiculously fucked up in that regard. Especially when you buy cheap Android phones, they are pretty much guaranteed to never receive updates … I almost think this should be illegal.

twtxt.org before, either. Maybe someone is trying out something new? 🤔

- Most things work just like in xiate, but I did patch st heavily. Took quite some time to do this, but it was also fun, so it was worth it.
- st uses much less memory than xiate (12-20 MB for st, 40 MB+ for xiate) – but *way more* CPU time. 😅 When I move another window on top of an st window (so that st has to do a lot of redraws), the CPU spikes so much that my whole X server begins to stutter.
- There’s no point in denying it: Font rendering is way better in xiate, because it can use the whole GTK-Pango-Whatever stuff. That’s a lot of code and could arguably be viewed as “bloat”, but the results are also better. Font stuff is not trivial, it’s inherently complex.
