Lady, EVOLVED @Lady@cat.family

what do you think? that someone writing critical, compassionate fanfic can thrive here? that they will be taken seriously and able to make a difference? this system cares nothing for them and everything for the fanworks they hate

this is not hyperbole; if you care more about the preservation of a mythical fan identity, always figured as constantly under threat, than you do about actual human beings or, dare i say, the interrogation and advancement of the artform—into something more compassionate, more responsible, and more capable of enacting good in the world—then you have lost sight of your own humanity and certainly that of the people around you, and this ⁜is⁜ the founding and driving mythos of the organization of which i speak

it is mildly distressing however that fans see people approaching their art with a mentality that all criticism and interrogation is suspect, that analysing the human costs and effects of a work is misguided and wrong, and that every form of speech, no matter how vile, is equally valuable and worthy of preservation—that fans see these takes brought out again and again and yet expect something other than the same old fascism from the people who make them

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)
