Oh wow that’s one unhinged layout!

OMG they made Caps Lock actually useful? 😮

Really? With caps lock I used to get get numbers instead of é è ç. I think… it’s been a while since I’ve been forced to use azerty

To be fair, they were the first to put a Fn key on laptops, it’s everyone else that copied them later but moved the key to a more sensible place. I still hate it though… when I bought a Thinkpad I pestered one of the vendor until he unlocked it (it was on display) and let me look around in the BIOS to see if the option to switch Ctrl and Fn was there, because I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.

How do you type them then?

That’s a weirdly specific change to make to QWERTY

OF COURSE there has to be yet another package manager I didn’t know about on top of the dozen other ones… 😑

I don’t even know what to say. How can you make jokes when reality already is making them for you? Have we finally entered The Onion Timeline?

Interesting, I wasn’t aware that could be an issue, thanks for mentioning it!

But I’m glad it’s qwerty you are stuck on, at least it is reasonably usable, even if it’s far from perfect.

I don’t think the idea itself is awful, but everyone is so fed up with AI bullshit that any attempt to integrate even an iota of it will be received very poorly, so I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Good point I’d forgotten about that! We use A a lot and Q almost never so obviously we need both letters switched around so that the pinkie is on the letter Q and A is harder to reach 😂

Having to use workarounds for your keyboad layout to be usable means that it’s a bad keyboard layout

Wait really that’s still a thing? 💀

Isn’t it a dark plot to make people go crazy by endlessly retyping a password when they accidentally press it without realizing?

Well as long as you’re not connecting to the internet you should be fine 😅

Wait… can you actually connect to the internet with MS-DOS?..

Right, that reminds me that I’m old enough to remember Minitels with alphabetical keyboards…

Anubis is an anti bot protection measure that gives your browser a proof-of-work challenge to solve before giving you access to the website. When I opened the link the website briefly showed Anubis but the anime girl mascot wasn’t there 😭

Wait was that Anubis without an anime girl? YOU MONSTERRRRS!

So it’s a system like qwerty-fr ?

Grave accent ` 	Press AltGr + corresponding letter (works for letters e, u, i, o and a).
Acute accent ´ 	Press AltGr + key left the corresponding letter (works for the letter e).
Circumflex ^ 	Press AltGr + key above the corresponding letter (works for letters e, u, i, o and a).
Diaeresis ¨ 	Press AltGr + key below the corresponding letter (works for letters e, y, u, i, o and a).
Cedilla ¸ 	Press AltGr + corresponding letter (works for the letter c).
Ligature œ/æ 	Press AltGr + key right the corresponding letter (works for letters o and a).

Wait it’s worse than the Chinese one? 😮

I didn’t know that was even possible…
