Ah, I looked it up, it seems it actually has multiline copy/paste? Alt-A to mark the start of the text, Alt-6 to copy, Ctrl-U to paste. I’ll try it out next time I’m stuck in nano, thanks!

I don’t get you people. Proper copy/paste support is “extended functionality”? I beg to differ. This is basic functionality.

And no, single line copy/paste as offered by nano, or copy and paste through the terminal is not proper copy/paste.

Or just use some matches or a lighter…

Yeah, for certain apps you may need to do that. I’ve had to do that with Nextcloud and Linkwarden. But Immich will happily work with a shareable link.

I use pangolin and subdomains on my domain. It works really well, and enables SSO login to all services on the network.

Here’s from the 100 year anniversary, it’s a fascinating watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/JJb_RdKX4qc

You don’t need to wonder how many Iranians died during the war, because Iran keeps very good track of these. However, they try their best to hide how many were killed of their own citizens during January, and there there will probably never be an accurate figure for that, only estimates.

Only Amiga makes it possible!

It’s true that not all of them want that, but a significant portion does want the Shah back.

No, it in general is used by Iranians opposing the current regime, regardless of whether they are pro-shah or not.

Not unexpected, Iran cares more about Lebanon than its own country.

Trita Parsi is a co-founder of NIAC, which pretends to represent Iranians in the US but is actually the Islamic Republic of Iran’s mouthpiece. You should realize that everything he says is propaganda.

It would make sense that a code editor could use a more limited subset of text rendering that could be more optimized.

Perhaps a bit surprisingly, Microsoft actually has pretty good documentation on OpenType. Here’s info on what shaping applies to “standard” scripts:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/script-development/standard

And here’s the landing page for the latest OpenType spec:

Specifically for ligatures, you’re looking for the liga feature which is specified in the font’s GSUB table.

HarfBuzz does opentype shaping, that is, transforming strings of unicode characters to lists of glyphs with positioning. The significance of this can be hard to understand for someone used to the latin script, as that needs very little shaping - kerning is often the only thing that’s absolutely necessary.

But in complex scripts, most notably the Indic, there’s a lot going on. Unicode characters can merge into one glyph under circumstances, or one character can split into several, and relative positioning in both the x and y axis is imperative.

A reason that OpenType shaping is complex is that part of the rules for what to do will be found in the font, and part will need to be hard-coded in the code implementing it.

If you’re going to roll your own text renderer, you’ll have to care about the following areas:

• Rasterization/rendering to bitmaps, including hinting (notoriously difficult, old-style TrueType hinting instructions are bytecode, so you’ll be writing a tiny VM for this)
• Shaping (Kerning at a minimum, full OpenType shaping for international support)
• BiDi (for full international support, primarily Hebrew and Perso-Arabic)
• A caching system for rendered text glyphs and shaped text runa, as it will be too slow to perform this each time you want to render some text

Let’s just say that I do not recommend going this route unless you’re prepared to spend a lot of time on it.

What kind of socks do you need for Linux Mint? Are any mint green ok?

It seems the orange has worn off too.

Foot. Terminal foot.
