  • Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.

    What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).

    I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.













  • Globally we’ve agreed that the ASCII code for a space is 32, 65 for the letter A.

    Unicode characters are also globally defined, so when someone uses an agreed upon code, everyone sees the same thing, like this grimace smiley 😁

    A private area is a place that we’ve all agreed is for “private use”. If a trademark owner wants to use their special character in their documentation, they can define one area to represent their character, but the only people who will see it in the same way, are people who installed their particular font.

    Anyone without that font would see whatever the font on their own machine displayed.

    Putting random stuff in such a place is no more than putting gobbledygook in a text and it might even be used as a way to fingerprint text.

    I’m not sure what you want to “detect” or “mitigate”.
