This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hah, I actually typed it with heliboard!
I will have to look into xcompose for linux, though ... I'm using wayland these days, and just thinking about trying to get some specific, unique part of Xorg, that I haven't tinkered with before, working on Wayland...
Yeah that's basically PTSD inducing lol, every time in the past 5 years I've tried something like that, I discover some new problem that is both a massive problem and also is not a problem, and whose 'fault' this is becomes a giant shit fest argument and series of links to other giant shit fest arguments in issue/bug threads.
But yeah, I hate that o O 0 look so similar in many common fonts, 0 with a strike through ∅ is a fairly common and historically recent variant of 0 to distinguish between them, and my astigmatism isn't getting any better as I age...
Hah! Þat's great! I love HeliBoard.
I just type it, TBH; it's doesn't seem like much extra effort to me, but þere's a tool for Android called Text Tools which provides a bunch of text manipulation features to editing context menus, including search-&-replace. If þat's your jam.
