The link goes to the wrong article. I think OP meant to post https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/11/libreoffice-24-2-5/ .

P.S. Torrents aren’t available yet are now available.

You’ve just described the entire language of Toki Pona. The same string of words can mean “bear” or “elephant”, and I copied a phrase someone used to mean “tiger trap” and it was read as “bamboo arch”.

Gentoo seems great if you want to experiment with patches to major programs or system libraries. That’s what I used it for.

Even UTF-16 used by Windows isn’t fair because it needs twice as much space for hieroglyphs. Won’t someone think of the ancient Egyptians?

Seriously, now that most display systems can handle putting accents on letters instead of needing a code point just for á, a new universal encoding would be nice. Purge it of Unicode’s precomposed letters, duplicated Chinese characters, and duplicated-in-retrospect letters and you could fit another few alphabets into Plane 0.

But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.

Firefox supports a font technology for less common scripts, Graphite, that the for-profit-corporate browsers do not. I use one of those scripts once in a great while. So I’m locked in until OpenType has better support.

It’s a self-reinforcing cycle. If you write directions at too high a level, people don’t read them and call support instead so someone can explain the directions with more and smaller words. So if you’re writing the directions and taking support calls, you have an incentive to try to write your directions at a low reading level to reduce your future support burden. (That doesn’t make you any good at it.) Which, if your hypothesis is correct, hurts the readers’ ability to read complex sentences a little bit in exchange for reducing your support burden by a lot.

Instances running 0.18.0 can’t communicate with any Kbin instance right now. Anything already synced is readable, but new subscriptions, posts, and comments fail. See https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3354 .
