i really can’t be bothered to care that an organization which was explicitly established to provide safe harbour for hate speech also thinks genocide is okay and running meetings is hard

apparently an organizational relic of a racist corner of late ’00s internet had a board meeting tonight and for that reason i am still not asleep

Carpe carp!

remember when pokémon made hatsune miku trans

added a keyboard just for common precomposed characters lol

if my post is in NFD it means i am on my phone

honestly they were cowards for not having the dog die

originally my question was going to be whether it is now safe to use control to provide additional levels in a custom keyboard layout, since it doesn’t seem like those conflict with the existing keybindings like they used to

but now i’m also wondering if it is possible anymore to do custom keybindings for a nonstandard macOS keyboard layout at all

daring fireball in 2019 <https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/12/20/the-cocoa-text-system> suggests it is still in use at that time, even in Catalyst apps, so i think it is current

i had some confusion because the claimed emacs shortcuts don’t work for me in any application. HOWEVER, i just checked and they do work when i switch the input method to ABC. so, the plot thickens, and maybe the current implementation is input‐method‐dependent???

can anyone explain to me :⁠—

1) is the Cocoa Text System described here <https://web.archive.org/web/20210219223351/http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html> used anywhere in modern macOS?

2) if not, when was it removed?

it¦s weird how frequent potentially world⹀ending events are in recent years in the pokémon games considering you never hear of anything like it happening in the recent past, but on the other hand look outside

Şş is a cute but traditional option for Sh if you really care about having the curved descender

(if you’d rather steal from cyrillic there’s Ɥɥ for Ch but Ꜭꜭ resembles others in the series a lot better)

(yep! either way it looks like a 4)

Ʒʒ for Zh is well‐established; Ꜭꜭ for Ch is cute because it can be interpreted as “J with flag”

Sh is the difficult one here; i’m also fond of £ſ as an option

not too fond of Ʃʃ though; the capital is decidedly non‐latinate

proposal to replace

Sh sh / Zh zh / Ch ch

with

Ƨƨ / Ʒʒ / Ꜭꜭ
