Probably your needs don't align with the philosophy. I also use `Thunderbird`, as I receive HTML emails. `Firefox`, because well, I have a life and I need it to pay taxes and whatnot. But I use `dwm`, `dmenu`, `neovim` (not suckless). I dislike extra features that I don't understand, or that work in a way that I cannot change. I prefer to setup things exactly how I need and understand. And every time I have a new need, I find it entertaining and instructive to work my way to a solution. I have a metaphore for you: If you had glasses, would you prefer to have a pair that show you messages, contacts, games (and ads), or to have surgery so that you will never need glasses anymore? If you have no social media account, you won't deal with many notifications. If you have no phone you don't need a battery charger. Same way, if you don't need an interpreter because your code is statically compiled, you remove many of the cumulative bugs and security issues of the technological stack. Sometimes we don't need more features: we try to eliminate the needs. And it's a strive, a journey, a diet, not a magical pill. If it's not your style, feel free to avoid it. --- Paolo Gatti
Re: [dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
Reporting a progress: I suspect the problem is OpenOffice and LibreOffice expect a working Tkinter module for python2.7 but Debian deprecated python2.7. So no _NET_WM_NAME is set. Weird thing is that somehow the name is set correctly if it cointains a japanese character (even with latin letters like ã,á,é,ó, etc) or if it doens't contains any of those latin letters. Even with no _NET_WM_NAME setted.

Re: [dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
lol you are funny. I wish I didn't have to use anything else, it would be so much easier.

Most terminal emulators (I think?) already have some option to dump the screen content into some image format. If not, I don't think it'd be difficult feature to add to the terminal - especially for simple image formats like ppm or farbfeld. And it makes more sense for it to be done by the terminal emulator, since it /already/ has parsed all the escape codes and rendered a pixmap - instead of doing it via an external tool which would need to duplicate all that work. - NRK
