Can we stop normalizing casual racism and fetishization of Asian women? You can watch anime without objectifying women in an article that encourages people to scroll through Google looking for "a suitable waifu," as one commenter phrased it. This post could have been just as effective as "how to add an image to your terminal background" without perpetuating racist and sexist stereotypes that inevitably alienate a large portion of this community.

Dear,
This is not related to any kind of racism specially against Asians which I respect a lot , it's just about an anime girl. It's simple as this , it's not related to any human race it's just Art , drawings and we love this kind of Art , and they are named "waifu".
And sorry if you feel any kind of disrespect , and I hope that you know that this type of Art is not targeting any race.

You can also achieve a similar effect in VS Code with the background plugin, which puts a character in the corner of each editor pane.

I don't like to switch tools a lot , I used terminator for long time but my pc got slower thats why I switch to kitty because its faster.

nice, I went to kitty for the performance as well. I think before it was URxvt, I can't remember the real reason I switched, maybe it had something to do with fonts or emojis?. Btw, do you use arch?

cool, I use Arch. Arch with a different init system sounds interesting, if I were ever to try another distro, I may look more into Artix.
