Xicago Mono is a mono-spaced font that closely follows Chicago with some tweaks to make it useful for terminal / software development.

They're great when you don't own a phone - when you can't use random 2FA "Apps".
As many USB-security keys can be used passkeys.

I couldn't believe it when the "real" news headline was reported - destructively scanning books.
I thought this was one of the less plausible parts of the book, Sigh! :)

It's always seemed strange to me that it's so common for people to feel the need to have continuous ... radio/podcasts/tv.
It turns out there is a fair amount of research done on this, look into:

Since moving to Wayland, I missed ST.
While there are many terminals available, most seemed too bloated.
This has enough font support to be useful, but doesn't provide scrolling, tabs etc... similar in scope to ST.

This was reported for Blender/Wayland, they might be able to use a fix like this:

My own modal editing system for emacs:
After using evil-mode and meow, this is a system I've come up with that addresses issues I ran into with both.

Had a similar experience, tried to switch to Meow twice, it's really nice in most ways.
But I found lack of vim-style repeat and accidental "dropping" the selection to be so unwieldy that I couldn't stick to using it.
Ended up writing an alternative to Meow which addresses the issues I had.
It's currently in review for Melpa, see:

This has also been going in in Libraries in Australia.
Go to the library - toddlers Rush to play on the computer.
I wouldn't mind so much if it was available for those who wanted it but in my experience it tends to be central and noisy - difficult to avoid if that's not what you're after.

Something they missed out with the GitLFS cons is authentication, if you don't use SSH-agent, pushing involves authenticating multiple times, sometimes more than 2-3 times in my experience.

I remember downloading it from my library on a floppy disk (hoping the librarian wouldn't hear it the floppy drive working - since it wasn't allowed). :)
It's in fact still quite small if additional 3rd party libraries are disabled.
It's possible to make a much smaller download that removes OpenCollada, FFMPEG, OpenEXR, OpenImageDenoise, OpenVDB ... etc. However it's a hassle to distribute a second version at a time when the current size is manageable for most users.
As I got higher DPI monitors, I found it less hassle to use outline fonts, but I still find them preferable - given the option.
