Marrant hein quand on parle de décolonisation ou d'intersectionalité "ce sont des termes des culture studies importés des USA, la situation en France n'a rien à voir".
Par contre pour importer l'extrémisme managerial de la Harvard Business School il n'y a au-cun-pro-ble-me.

If you want to study how text is layout/rendered to the screen, this Python module for commandline apps looks a great place to start! https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich
I'd probably follow that up with WeasyPrint & Pango.

@xuv ha! Haven't seen this in years. Was looking for it a couple months back but couldn't remember the name. Thank you for posting!
@320x200 @imacrea exact watermelons c'est assez old-school comme fashitude british https://www.waterstones.com/book/watermelons/james-delingpole/9781849544054
@cathal I'm near finished reading Tim Maughan's Infinite Detail that is very much in this vein. Aftermath of a global internet shutdown. Highly recommend.
@cathal ooh a data-destruction sequel to the weathermen would be cool :)
@cathal also they are like "what if the ugly_irish_houses instagram was a computer vendor" 😜
@cathal yea as painful as it is, I think it's worth returning it and looking elsewhere (Entroware? haven't tried). Mine has served me well but with various fails with sound, no battery life, etc.
The install shenanigans are weird indeed.
It worked for me in the end but when it arrived the clock was off and it messed with Wifi etc... obvious now but it ruined my very first moments with Linux :)
@cathal ugh sorry to hear. Been working on a Tuxedo for a year and it's been patchy. Did you use their USB to install?
