So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I'm also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

To me, that's even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it's expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The "fi" combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!

Absolutely a mask off "let them eat cake" level quote.

So that's why they're called "rolling" releases!

Absolutely. Jack Welch's rotting corpse requires further tributes. The product isn't what matters, just the line going up.

Maybe it's time to consider repatriating Texas (to Mexico).

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing "xitter" being used, is it safe to assume it's pronounced "shitter"?

The cable tv version of die hard 2 that we taped as kids was "Mr. Falcon".
