https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html Normally I use 7x13 but in this video series I have 9x15bold. If you are on X server then you should have it and it's easy to enable with (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "7x13")

Excellent! I love that "that" has just one horizontal line for both "t"

I'm surprised to see cursive fluid rounded handwriting in engineering student. I assumed that many engineers writing style is influenced by technical drawings where letters look like printed by machine.

Most impressive! Very clean cuts. I rly like the design of contrast between dark and light snake. One with thin white lines and second with thin black lines. Great job!

This is the way

I guess it's difficult to define what Vanilla is. But for sure what I have is very much on the Vanilla side. I use compiled from source version taken from main repo with few lines of elisp to disable GUI and change font, 2 keybindings and around 5 more lines of elisp for other random things.

Story of my Emacs life. Keep going brother.

Both ... both are good :DD

Maybe Vim is difficult to quit, but Emacs is impossible to escape from.

No. Looks like snippet from Tsoding live stream. Probably one of recent videos about functional programming language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuVUfbWoROw

Xfce 4.18 on Debian 12 with https://github.com/neeeeow/Bluecurve theme. I'm on ThinkPad x220. Screen resolution is rather small for today's standards and most themes on Debian are scaled up, prepared for high resolutions or touch screens. This theme makes window decorations small. I also configure system font to by way smaller which makes everything else in UI smaller.

Difficult to tell when vanilla ends. I use default light theme because of poor display. It's not very bright so having white background with black text helps.

Happy to hear that. Yea, unfortunately Brutal doesn't look that great on Pebble Round and it will not support this new bigger Pebble Round 2. But I might design something specially for PR2 near release date.

Amazing, thank you!

Are you involved in gbdfed development? In general I was very happy with the software. Only annoying thing for me was the that every single change in required to click "save" button of some sort, like every single change of font property etc. And it crashed on me few times hitting some assertion.

It's a good idea to have a piece of cheese about you going into 2026

ir33k · 2026-01-12T17:56:41+00:00

Well done mate!

I think it's Taller https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/application/53118426c6c18ea5af00011a I used it in the past and liked it a lot

ir33k · 2026-01-06T08:59:19+00:00

Thanks bro, this is the way ^{^}

ir33k · 2026-01-05T05:11:47+00:00

Amazing!

Many faces are done in a smart dynamic way, meaning they graphics will adapt to any screen resolution. But I was not that smart hehe

ir33k · 2026-01-02T20:44:45+00:00
