→ @i just sacrificed my latex installation for a sensible font-config
finally seing the point of why you'd want "desktop" apps packaged as snap or flatpak
imagine if i could install texlive-latex & pandoc from those AND make them cooperate…
(i have a "workaround" for pandoc being a pain to install, which is, using cabal-sandbox… but there's no font-sandbox for texlive-latex!!)
anyway, all of this was worth it, because now i get colour emoji https://mastodon.social/media/o1FzwWYhsmYG8lSCxtY
except… for when it doesn't 😅 https://mastodon.social/media/aJvlu4JZKPe_C0l84TQ
next step, use https://github.com/c1710/blobmoji instead…
i have managed to configure my system to use blob emoji everywhere… (by removing all DejaVu* fonts 🙄)
…everywhere except, whatsapp and firefox and slack and discord and tweetdeck 🤕
"fixed" firefox by overwriting /usr/lib/firefox/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf
but that doesn't fix github >_>
i also bet that i'll have to do this with all electron apps…
but igor, why are you so obsessed with emoji??
imagine someone sends you heartfelt message (containing emoji) and all you can think of is, wow this looks ugly and offensive
i just wish words just could express the same thing as a cat making kissy face, but they can't, so we have to use emoji
