I will probably read the novel some day. Scifi is virtually always better in written form; there's just so much you have to leave out to fit a story into a 2-hour movie. I think that's why many of the best scifi movies are based on short stories or perhaps novellas, rather than full-length novels.
On the subject of nitpicking: if the spaceship has magical engines to get it to near lightspeed, why would the crew have to travel in suspended animation/induced coma state? Time dilation would mean the trip was subjectively short, maybe just days or even hours, for everyone on board. Obviously I haven't seen it yet, so maybe that's addressed.

I can not see the font issue? Don't have X11 installed to compare. As someone who went Wayland years ago this seems a bit silly to complain about

Taking a break to watch The Rings of Power. Watching mithril get melted down in a crucible and am surprised it takes such a low heat to do so. Those are yellow flames, and not all that hot. A propane torch is hotter than that. Must be magic fire.
(I used to study goldsmithing and silversmithing a couple decades ago.)

The feeling when 87.5% of the discussion under your contribution is about #bureaucracy : unreliable CI and insignificant #style #bikeshedding .
Congrats, the project has created a barrier to entry for anyone who hasn't been into it for years already.
Hint: give everyone a freaking #linter that satisfies your needs and let us move on to actual work, without having to redo the same stuff 8 times. Sheesh.

Trying not to be hypercritical, but just watched S27E3-4 of Silent Witness, and Timetabling would burn us as witches if we tried to schedule such a small class in a huge lecture theatre. #Nitpicking #SilentWitness

@aka_pugs P.S. 2000 cards * 80 bytes = 160K
Only undergrads used all 80 columns for data. Grad students used 72 for data and reserved the last 8 columns for sequence numbers. If you dropped the box or deck, you could run the cards thru the sorter to retrieve the ordered deck. Thus
2000 * 72 chars = about 140K.
