Once more, I’m toying with st. I actually might switch for real this time. My GTK/VTE terminal does work quite well (as long as I don’t port it from GTK 3 to GTK 4), but dealing with the nitty gritty details in st is just way more interesting. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The only thing I’m missing in urxvt is the zoom. For unknown reasons, one day (probably after a system update) urxvt on my work computer was suddenly slow as shit. I could literally watch the lines render top to bottom like decades ago. So I had to switch to GNOME terminal (because that was already preinstalled on the distro). It still rendered instantly, just like urxvt used to. Especially when presenting something to team mates, I find it very useful to increase the font size on the fly with ^+. But also every now and then when I get a bit tired it’s nice to have a larger font. I reckon st is not capable of doing that either, or is it?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice! Yeah, maintaining an own fork seems like the way to go with suckless projects.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Both wmi and wmii, too. :-) (But they fall into the category of dwm.) Right, my daily driver dmenu doesn’t need patches.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm, strange. If it’s good software, I’m using it. Realisticly, no matter what in life, there will always be something by somebody who goes against my own principles. But that usually doesn’t make the product itself any worse. Btw. how did you discover that? I never go the discussion pages of articles. Do you?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Someone told me in a conversation a few years back. (I only found that link to wikipedia yesterday and it appeared to be a good starting point. 😅)

Yes, there’s always disagreement. But there are some things that I don’t want to tolerate/ignore. Also, there’s a difference between “it’s good software, I use it” and “hey, nice community, I want to be a part of it”.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah. Yup, these are different things.
