I think you really miss the point. It's as if your suggestion that romanization methods have imperfections dismisses the actual reasons why people will refuse to make the effort to learn how to pronounce a name from a language other than their own, which go far beyond whether or not the spelling "makes sense".

The comic gives a very concrete example of that. It wouldn't matter if the letters exactly mapped to a perfect pronunciation, the mere fact it does not roll of the tongue, i.e. "sounds foreign", coupled with the underlying xenophobia+racism combo is what's at work there.

I switched recently from neomutt to aerc and yes, if you want less complicated configuration, it's a great pick. I find it less buggy and just best designed overall.

I never tried Gmail or Exchange on it, but this should have some helpful info on that: https://man.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/providers/

It's the only thing left after I've reduced my tab bar to a row of favicons.

The gold standard would be the SIL Open Font License.

It's been a few years I've only listened to music without any vocals in it. My favorite is tuning to SomaFM's ambient-music stations like Synphaera, Deep Space One, Space Station and, if you are really into the slowest kind of ambient music, Drone Zone. Soma has many instrumental stations with specific genres like Fluid for instrumental trap.

After some manual reinstalls and much repetition, I've been using a custom script for the past year or so, which I'm slowly open sourcing through a rewrite.
