Ubuntu uses their own font family. I think it’s one of the only distributions with its own custom font, but I might be wrong. The Unicode coverage of the Ubuntu font is not very big compared to Google’s Noto font family, which many distributions switched to as default. But it mostly depends on the DE — Gnome uses the Cantarell font, KDE uses the aforementioned Noto font.

I can't imagine writing a whole book in Markdown. I couldn't live without the ability to create my own macros (like I can in TeX). But I digress. Those bad page breaks could perhaps be solved by using the nowidow (or any similar) package. If that doesn't work, manually put \pagebreak or \newpage before the offending lines.
Keep up the good work! :-)
I very much enjoyed Command line text processing with Coreutils. It helped me when I was writing my thesis, which basically consisted of several (quite long) pipelines. It would have been quite helpful if I’d known awk, so I’ll check this book out!
The web version looks very nice, but the PDF version feels a bit iffy (maybe a bit cheap?) to me — for example there are some bad pagebreaks (e.g. between pages 9 and 10 or pages 14 and 15). How do you create it? Perhaps you should get more hands-on with the typesetting. (I'm no expert on typography, but it would be a shame if your work was detracted from by the little imperfections that some people are sensitive to.)

Perhaps a point & click adventure would be a good fit? I’ve played and quite enjoyed The Blackwell Legacy and I’ve heard good things about other games by Wadjet Eye.
Just a question: Isn’t there an option to replace xfwm with another window manager (=i3)? Did you consider this option?
I did try it, but it either did not work or it broke something. It was definitely something on my end, because it should be possible to do this. It was quite a few years ago, so I do not remember many details. Sorry!
XFCE is excellent. It’s the first DE I have used after switching to Xubuntu from Windows XP. Everything made sense to my Windows grown brain and everything was extremely customizable; an ideal DE for me! I stopped using XFCE after I switched to i3, but I still used a bunch of XFCE applications for a while.
One of the drawbacks of XFCE is that many GTK applications are written for Gnome first, so most applications which use GTK look funky in XFCE with their menus hidden in buttons etc. It made looking for apps that would fit the æsthetic a chore. (I don’t think there’s this dichotomy in the Qt world, i.e. LXQt apps wouldn’t look out of place in KDE.)
If you're interested in Mass Effect, please also visit !masseffect@lemmy.ml. It's also a bit dead, but we're trying!
Edit: There's also the much bigger !masseffect@lemmy.world, which I somehow missed.
Thanks! I've made it myself.
Yeah. I’ve heard that. I’m glad Microsoft made the Series S; I own one and it’s my gate to modern gaming, as I don’t have enough money for a good computer nor Series X. It’s a nifty little machine. Obviously, I don’t want Microsoft to lower the parity requirements nor — shudder to think — discontinue the Series S. At the same time, I would really like to play BG3. Difficult times. I guess lowering the parity requirements would be the preferred option.
I wonder how many people actually play the Larian RPGs in multiplayer and what percentage of them uses couch coop. Personally, I can’t really see playing a long cRPG with someone else.
I’m planning on it, when the Xbox version comes out.
Having a bad taste and being a mod is not mutually exclusive. ;)
Much like Tropical Ding Dong, I felt somewhat disappointed the game didn’t do more with its “being a cat” premise, but I wouldn’t call Stray a bad game because of that. Would the story change much, if you weren’t a cat? Not really. Would I enjoy it much less? Yes.
