  • i’d really like to. but there is ONE big problem:

    Keyboard layouts.

    seriously

    I hate having to deal with that. when I set up my laptop with ubuntu, I tried at least 3 thymes to make it work, but no matter what I tried I was just locked out of my brand-new system. it cant just be y and z being flipped, I tried that, maybe it was the french keyboard layout (which is absolutely fucked) or something else, but it just wouldnt work.

    On my mint PC I have a similar problem with the default layout having weird extra keys and I just sort of work around that, because fuck dealing with terminals again. (when logged in it works, because I can manually change it to the right one.)

    Now I do have about a TerraByte of storage encrypted, just for the… more sensitive stuff…

    While dealing with the problems I stumbled across a story of a user who had to recover their data using muscle-memory, a broken keyboard, the same model of keyboard and probably a lot of patience. good luck to that guy.








  • You should see me write in my home-town dialect, its Umlaute all the way down:

    natürläch, mä muess ds End UND der Nether 2x besiegä, um netheride z machä…

    naturally, one has to defeat the end AND the nether 2x to make Netherite…

    The discussion being between me and a friend, who misunderstood how one of the new minecraft things worked

    wait ill search for a more umlaut-one

    wöu i wirdä wouh uf ändi Jahr mi gross PC oh uf Linux änderä, u frage mi öbi immerno Ubuntu, odr vilech doch öbbis wi Mint odr soo sötti bruuchä. […]

    Because I will probably, towards end of the year, change my big PC too to Linux. I’m just questioning wether I should still use Ubuntu, or maybe change to using Mint or such. […]

    There are some horrible words with like two ä’s behind one-another and another just yonder of the consonant

    Notable Mentions: är hüület ; he’s crying (bawling his eyes out).
    Schlööf ; ice-skates.
    aaöödä ; to bore someone and the necessery: Chuchichästli, which I will let you decipher on your own.

    anyways much fun, good luck trying to pronounce any of it.
