Debian opens a can of username worms

The current compromise is sane; Put whatever you want in the user name field, while leaving login name alone.

Imagine no Unicode, It’s easy if you try, No bytes that bloat our systems, No errors make us cry.

Imagine all the coders, Living life in ASCII…

Imagine no emojis, Just letters, plain and true, No accents to confuse us, No glyphs in Sanskrit too.

Imagine all the programs, Running clean and fast…

You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, And encoding wars will be done.

As long as your an English speaker ;)

if you try hard enough you can always ~latinize~ ASCIIfy a language

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ nah
