AFAICT he bluntly closed the issue that asks for CJK input support in kitty. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/462 I understand there might be technical difficulties but his attitude is disappointingly bad.
> So write a script to do it for you. I dont know what you are asking for here. I already told you glfw does not support XIM.
Thid is blatantly rude and dismissive.
I think people would rather he was polite. As much as I respect Mr.Goyal for his work, he does not have the right to talk down to other people because he maintains something.
Please don't make excuses for someone being rude because they're a FOSS developer. I've seen it so many times on here now.
What is considered rude is entirely subjective. For instance, I feel bringing up something after being told why it wouldn't work and wasting people's time is rude.
Perhaps you would have phrased it differently. But I don't buy the idea that every interaction should be sugar coated.
I don’t think there’s a need to sugarcoat every interaction, but at the same time, we’re but living beings, who all have our share of frustrations and bad days. It takes little to speak or write something a bit softer.
A GitHub issue is not equivalent to a direct message to the developer. Other people can see GitHub issues/feature requests, and sometimes, one of them steps up and does the legwork of fixing/implementing the thing.

Me neither, Kovid has every right to communicate whatever way he wants to, and nobody can take that right away from him.
Just as I have the right to consider him a rude [insert generic insult].
If anyone is looking for how interaction between teen girls look like, this parody made by The Onion is the best depiction I've ever seen: https://youtu.be/XUT8ec24anM
The most unfixable UI problem for Emacs is that its rendering model works upon "character cells and cursor positions, not pixels."[1] No amount of effort would steer Emacs's UI away from an ortholinear matrix of characters. Whenever you install an LSP plugin on Emacs, you'll realize how badly it hurts readability and your eyes.

You're likely to have filtered a lot more than you think simply by consciously selecting which server and which channel to join. I don't know which kind of filtering you're referring to, but if you're talking about those that constitute echo chambers, IRC isn't really helping much in that regard.
