wondering what vl gothic is for a full 20 seconds before seeing it and being like "ohhhh its the rpg maker font"

been studying with the kanjidamage deck for just under 6 months now and im finally learning the kanji for "5",

i know it appeared roughly this way in old screenshots ive posted but that was done by cheating (ie. baking the centring into the taglist square image itself) - this way is much more robust

oh yea i managed to get the taglist squares centred in the end, all i had to do was rewrite the entire taglist widget template,

😆 🔫

*takes a wrong turn on pixiv and learns how to say "vore" in japanese* well,

been tryin to figure out how to use bgimage to center the taglist squares in my awesome wm rc but it involves using cairo directly and i hate it

nsfw? 

im programming titties out, the way nature intended

oh yea i went to vote today and saw a squirrel, my gf tells me this means my vote is worth 5 votes now

(its not actually anything impressive its just checking if the terminal actually supports true color before enabling it)

putting if statements in my vimrc and feeling my iq go up

ate a calzone, got new clothes, figured out how to *really* customise my awesome wm config, AND saw a fox

today's been a fuckin good day tbh

maybe i should just start a blog instead of drowning yall in status updates about my nerd bullshit,

thought i could do this in vte-based terminals by using css but no dice,

(unless there's some way to centre content with padding alone that i havent figured out yet)

Show thread

also the terminal experiments are currently on hold because an unfortunate side effect of using a terminal from this side of 2010 is that i have to dive into fontconfig to make the fallback order behave (which i'm honestly fine with since unlike xresources it does usually actually work)

ive been wondering for a while now, but i dont know how to google this:

say i'm using a tiling window manager, and i have a terminal open, with window size hints disabled there's almost always gonna be a little extra blank space to the right and bottom... is there any way, in any terminal emulator, to make it distribute that space evenly around all sides of the window?

i suspect these are just things common to all vte -based terminals but it's a huge fuckin deal to me after using rxvt for like 5+ years

Show thread

first things i'm noticing:
- fonts actually draw at the right goddamn size
- fallbacks seem to draw from fontconfig, so i dont have to piss about setting like 3 different fallback fonts just to get all the characters i need
- text colours dont get all fucked up when im typing in hiragana mode so i can actually read the characters im putting in(!)

Show thread

after reading reddit nerds throwing walls of text at each other about which terminal is the best ive decided im gonna ignore everything i saw and just try termite

Show thread

today i think im just gonna try a bunch of different terminals maybe
