I started playing Enderal, a total conversion of Skyrim. I like the deeper RPG mechanics, which the mod adds, although I’m a bit nervous about choosing something wrong and fucking up my character.

The game is set in a different world than Elder Scrolls. I’m not sure I like it as much, but that might be because of the different music.

That sounds terrible! I am already not very good at managing the charge of my phone.

Genuine question: How do you manage not to lose one of the earbuds?

I know USB-C is more robust than MicroUSB, but that doesn’t feel like it’s good for the connector. I’d much rather have a bit thicker (Apple said they’re getting rid off the jack to make their phones thinner.) or a bit less waterproof phone (not having a massive hole in the phone helps to waterproof it), than to loose the headphone jack.

Same. I can’t imagine having to remember to charge my headphones.

Yes, they do. Part of the OpenType standard are the so called “OpenType features” which (amongst other things) allow for contextual alternates, i.e. different kinds of ligatures, and for stylistic alternates, e.g. a slashed zero, a single-storey ɑ, etc. All of these different glyphs are encoded in the font and can be enabled when typesetting using different selectors. This website shows them off.

Some ligatures, like “ffl”, are a separate character in Unicode. Some were added because they can be considered a different character in languages other than English. Some (like “ffl”) were added because of legacy reasons; “no more will be encoded in any circumstances”.

It’s OpenTTD, hands down. I think source ports and game reimplementations are where open source shines its best.
