Protestantism came from an attempt to reform the Catholic church; it was not meant to be a separate thing until the reformers were excommunicated. You shouldn't think about Catholicism as necessarily separate from reformed traditions i. e. protestantism. It is clear from what Jesus said that church unity is good, so, if Christians were more united on doctrine, the world would be better IMO.

Differentiating from others is not a core value of Catholicism. Contrarily, it's claiming to be the default way of Christianity, which is expressed by the “catholic” in the name. Catholicism claims to continue by apostolic succession from Peter by an appointment of Jesus. So, if top Catholics realize that justification by faith alone is an idea from Jesus spread by the original apostles, it is fitting to accept that officially.

I think that the point of the original post is highly unrealistic, but I wrote this because it seems that you miss the point of Catholicism.

I think that Unicode implements Turkish wrong. I tried to make a proposal to Unicode, but, when I gave that for checking to someone involved in Unicode, I was told that such proposal would be futile because Unicode can't break compatibility.

Presently, there is a case pair of I where the small I is dotted, and the capital I is dotless, then there are separate dotless small I and dotted capital I. My proposal was that the common case pair of I would have unspecified dottedness, and there would be a separate case pair of dotted I and a pair of dotless I for Turkish.

This was done with the idea that, in most languages, dottedness of I is just a typographic choice similar to the shape of small A. My proposal would enable fonts where small I is by default dotless like in the Carolingian minuscule but which support Turkish.

That reminds me of Tetris implemented in Typst, a typesetting language similar to LATEX.

I wish you joy for the birth the christ Jesus, which we commemorate on this day.

I don't have anything special to share, so here is a link to my favorite Christmas song Gaudete.

I don't have any experience with it, so I can't recommend anything, but I thank you for the notice of it; out was interesting to read about it on Wikipedia.

I read something about them (mainly in Wikipedia), and I see some parallels in artistic style or symbolism, but I don't see a substantial parallel in their stories, although I didn't find much about the story of Sol Invictus. I don't see that someone was nursed as a significant parallel because almost every human was nursed.

I focused on parallels in their stories because I don't see parallels in the style of art depicting them as problematic to Christianity. But most of your previous comment was about artistic depictions, so, if you think that they are problematic, please, explain that more in details.

Which earlier sun gods does Jesus's life story have parallels with?

 

From the YouTube channel Speak Life, which I like because it focuses on the topic that Christianity brought many values into this world, but today's culture tries to decouple the values from Christianity, which doesn't work.

My faculty (of computer science) has the most knowledge of typography and the loosest requirements on typography of all faculties of the University.

Knot is just nautical mile per hour, so it can be simplified so:

π miles = e nautical miles

Right. But monospacedness is not a requirement for programming fonts. So I often promote proportional fonts for programming because they are better IMO. I mean that variable width allows fonts more potential to be good at what I want from fonts, not that every proportional font of better.

Ideally, texture healing would distribute the resizing over the whole word, so it would look better and be used in more cases. But that is not possible with OpenType fonts as far as I know.

Commit Mono has smart kerning, which is similar, but it only shifts, not morphs, the shapes. So it avoids that the same letter looks differently in different places. It also works on triplets, not just pairs, so it is more widely applicable. See this comparison.
