→ @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 🤕
why does mastodon-fe replace my emoji that in inserted as actual text into an svg image? 🙄 (FACE WITH ROLLING EYES (U+1F644)) becomes an image link:
<img draggable="false" class="emojione" alt="🙄" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" src="https://mastodon.social/emoji/1f644.svg">
Jessica🏳️🌈@hirojin because mastodon sucks
@hirojin source: I actually did try to fix this two years ago
@ticky i just discovered it's a feature that's enabled by default…
i wonder if i can just uBlock it…
…and… how i would do the same on GitHub.
@hirojin you can’t, that’ll just break the emoji altogether. GitHub, for what it’s worth, actually do properly use the system emoji in almost all cases.
@ticky boo, i just tried uBlocking /emoji/*.svg and it broked, just as you said it would
re Github: i guess i still need to tune my fontconfig
@ticky i'm guessing it's because i'm not running mac…
cuz even tho
~ fc-match "Segoe UI Emoji" ; fc-match "Apple Color Emoji"
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Blobmoji" "Regular"
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Blobmoji" "Regular"
it's serving the replacement: https://mastodon.social/media/a7H8Ev7PlkXtTika21Q
@ticky yupp, works by spoofing the User-Agent https://mastodon.social/media/O3tZpH9yjkdmO2oqFiw
