edit: fixed it by reinstalling nixOS, still have a minor nerd font issue. i also switched to nixOS 24.11 in the stable branch
- why, nixOS? Why?? is this what i get for using the unstable branch?
  
  Well...yes?
  
  Like living in a house constantly undergoing a remodel. Sometimes the plumber is going to accidently route the toilet drain pipe to the shower head before the inspector gets there to check it.
  
  Oh no
  
  If you're using flatpak and Firefox you have to un-sandbox the font files from both flatpak and firefox's content sandbox
- average arch experience
- Works for me on Arch btw

- Which side are you on?
  
  People use too many emojis
  
  There's not enough variety of emojis
  
  I'm on the side of "THERES NO FUCKING TRAFFIC CONE EMOJI?? I SWEAR THERE USED TO BE ONE, WHERE DID IT GO?!?!!"

  I want more and I know I shouldn't.

I this some sort of dependency joke I'm too Fedora to understand?
Y'all don't cli with emojis???
- What the fuck!?
  
  ⚠️📦⏫👌 updates the system
- Funny thing is that the only place where emojis were working before I fixed it was the foot terminal emulator lol
You send me a 🍑, I send a 🥕 back.

You send a 🎡, that's pretty abstract.

  is that a button or a futuristic flying police car
Imagine sentences being any more than n+1 bytes
There are emoji selectors for linux. But i don't use emojis on a desktop os
Honestly I've never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there's a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!
the internet is so much better without emojis
