To avoid censorship filters in social media, same with PDF files.

I really hate when native English speakers use could of or would of. It makes no sense and sounds completely wrong, yet some people claim it’s just a minor mistake.

My GPU had a shitty blower cooler, switching to water-cooling made my system so much more quiet!

This is not how umlauts and layouts work

That one works as well, but I dislike the way quotes work on that keyboard. I never got used to that.

Yes, as long as you have the [;' keys it will work just like it does with the German layout.

Even if you didn’t have those keys, you could also use AltGr + a, AltGr + u andl AltGr + o for the Umlaut variants. I like to use those much more, because they seem much more logical to me Ü. That isn’t possible with the default German layout, which is a shame. I like the German (US) layout much more because of that.

If you use the keyboard for desktop mode:

1. Open system settings
2. Navigate to “Input Devices”, “Keyboard”
3. Go to the “Layout” tab
4. “Configure Layouts”, then “Add”
5. Add “German (US)”
6. Switch the layout on the “Taskbar” on the bottom right of the screen.

You can then use Umlaute like on any German keyboard, plus on the “a,U,o” keys themselves when you press AltGr (right alt). Any Sonderzeichen are like in the American layout. If you want to change that just use the normal German layout instead of German (US).

There is no way to change the layout of physical keyboards in the gaming mode. Those settings don’t change anything in the gaming mode and but the gaming mode settings only work for the on screen keyboard.

Bonus Umlaut of the day: Ö

Are those cameras in the retail space? There are cameras at public spaces, whether it’s Walmart, the DMV or the foyer of a police station. They aren’t there to surveille employees, they are there to prevent or record crimes.

People here are advocating to have cameras in office spaces, to specifically surveil employees. What the fuck is going to happen for people in home office? That’s illegal af, at least where I come from. And who is going to monitor these cameras? The local sheriff’s office? And who is going to review all that footage?

So do you think employees being recorded by their employers is ok as well? Because it isn’t. Having to live in constant surveillance is a mark of authoritarianism.

It’s because people aren’t wired that way. There’s a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.

The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!

I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

They allow you to drive on certain roads in some countries.

You can add a private DNS in the settings. It’ll allow you to have a dns level ad blocking experience without having to use any of the dubious ad blocking apps. You also don’t need root or a VPN.

I’m using my own dns server, but keep in mind that it needs to support DoT. You can’t just enter any IP, because of the certificate check (the dns requests are encrypted using TLS).

dns.adguard.com works, but as is the case with all dns services, they will be able to see every domain you access. So keep that in mind.

Do you remember what was written here? I have no idea and it seems like it got me banned temporarily. I don’t remember writing a comment in this thread at all.
