Almost one century of doing computers, still can't properly render language used daily by 500 million people.

@chjara This is a pretty interesting attempt to get Arabic to fit block printing constraints :thinking_cirno:

@koakuma@uwu.social @chjara@akko.tuxcrafting.xyz I don't see the problem this is trying to solve. Computers can already render "Basic" Arabic in a "readable but with some annoying corner cases" manner. All this does is annoy more people for no reason at all.

See also the history of the printing press and Arabic.
