I started using st as a terminal emulator, so you might see a decline in my use of colored emojis. :)

I previously used xiate, which is based on GTK and VTE – and that’s the problem. Sooner or later, it’ll have to be ported from GTK 3 to GTK 4 and that’s not looking too good at the moment. GTK 4 is too slow. I’m not yet convinced that I have to give up xiate, but I still want to see how well st works for me.

Oh dear. Starting/quitting st is so much faster and snappier, it almost feels like I bought a new computer. :|

st is pretty good. I think I’ve been using Alacritty for a while instead because st used to crash if a file contained certain emojis. That’s probably fixed by now.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Ah, right, I forgot about that issue. Looks like this got resolved in libXft a while ago: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/2209/34965.html
