I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.

SQL doesn’t need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.

Yeah that’s a common one. If you’re into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.

Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don’t miss out on some handy shortcuts.

COBOL is not a current program language anymore.

I use all of these except ScrollLock.

What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?

Yeah I remember those early days. KDE had a 1.0 version out in the late 90s, which was perfectly usable as a standalone desktop environment, while at the same time Gnome was little more than a panel with a foot. Early Gnome was an unholy mess and remained so until the late 2.x versions in the mid 2000s. Like how many window managers and file managers did they go through? I believe they even had Enlightenment as the default window manager for a while, and then there was that weird Ximian desktop phase.

On my QK80 mechanical keyboard I could do this:

echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

Maybe your keyboard driver has a similar parameter?

Move your .weechat directory out of the way, to see if the problem is in your profile or with the weechat installation itself.

Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)

No idea why lol.

Mädchen is a diminutive, and all diminutives are grammatically neutral.

It’s the same in Dutch btw, and my girlfriend who is learning Dutch is frequently abusing this as a cheat code: whenever she doesn’t know the gender of a word, she’ll just use the diminutive and it will automatically be neutral.

Belgium, 48. I drive a manual transmission. I never had a car with an automatic transmission.

See my edit.

I don’t think that’s the case anymore.

I just checked, the time in the UEFI BIOS is in UTC, yet both Linux and Windows 10 display the local time correctly as an offset to UTC. I didn’t have to do anything special for that.

Edit:

So I looked a bit deeper into it, and this is apparently controlled by a registry key called RealTimeIsUniversal in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]. You can paste the text below in a .reg file and then import it to set the parameter:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

I confirmed that this setting exists on my system, but I have no memory of ever manually setting this parameter. It’s documented in the Arch wiki though, so it’s possible that I did set it and forgot about it.

In any case, if you do a fresh Windows install and your time differs between Linux and Windows , this is what you should check.

Should probably also mention that his wife, Telsa Gwynne, was diagnosed with cancer around the time he retired and she sadly passed away in 2015.

There, saved you a click.

What’s a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

Perhaps. It’s a legal grey area here, not strictly legal but tolerated in certain areas (red light districts), but it’s certainly not a socially acceptable thing.

It’s just really hard to believe a women asks if you’ve had sex with a sex worker…

I’ve been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

Probably not. There are no implementations that I’m aware of that work well on a Linux guest.

Ok, so you don’t know what FUD means.

You can disagree with the comment above, but it’s not “FUD”, it’s just criticism.
