It is supported on GrapheneOS. I've used it infrequently on a Pixel 8A. It's worth noting it only mirrors the screen, there's no extend option or DEX like experience.

Edit: There is a DEX-like desktop mode in beta, along with Linux VM with graphical app support.

Yes, and alongside formatting challenges, PDFs commonly only include the glyphs from the font that are actually used in the document.

So if you had PDF with "Hello World" on it, you could feasibly change it to "Hello Hello", but wouldn't be able to change it to "Goodbye World" (as the glyphs for "G", "b", "y", and "e" are not included in the PDF)

Sure, you could do a bit of detective work to figure out which font it was from the glyphs or something and lookup and insert new glyphs into the PDF, but I can't imagine a generic PDF editor being capable of doing this for you.

Some editors get around this but just straight up switching the font(s) for the whole PDF, so they'll look different after saving.

I wish more languages would aim for infix functions (like Haskell and Kotlin), rather than specifically the pipe operator.

How would you do the things mentioned in the article using Guix?

You could write your own custom package definitions, extending the default to change up compile flags and allocators, but then you need to do this for every single package (and maintain them all). I'm not sure Guix gives you much here, though maybe that's fine for one or two packages.

The most pain-free option I can think of is the --tune flag (which is similar to applying -march=native), but packages have to be defined as tunable for it to work (and not many are).

Is there another option?

I think I'm like your co-workers, I'm really interested in Clojure, but admittably have that (probably unreasonable) JVM aversion. Do you mind sharing why I shouldn't?
