  • I dislike having the hyphens key as a dead key

    Yeah, that sucks. You can have the best of both worlds in Linux by using the US keyboard with the “English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)” keyboard variant. This way, all your qwerty keys will work normally, but you can tell it a key combination is coming up by tapping AltGr. So you can for instance type <AltGr> + <"> + <u> to make ü or <AltGr> + <s> + <s> for ß. If I remember correctly, there is a way to make Windows do the same.

    And in KDE at least, you can use any key you like to perform the function of AltGr. I suppose other DE’s can do the same.

















  • I don’t want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

    The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.



  • Thanks for the clarification.

    The last sentence of the article however, shows why that’s not much of a consolation:

    In other words, it is activist hedge funds and modern executive compensation practices — not corporate law — that drive so many of today’s public companies to myopically focus on short-term earnings; cut back on investment and innovation; mistreat their employees, customers and communities; and indulge in reckless, irresponsible and environmentally destructive behaviors.
