Good morning to Public Transort Odin
We are taking the train to go unfuck baby cousin’s malware-addled computer, and hopefully teach her the general idea for salvaging these things herself — she’s a compsci student but compsci programs rarely teach foundational computer unfucking.
@0xabad1dea the thing on the snout makes it look like the snout is detachable

@0xabad1dea When you're travelling by train with Odin, does he needs his own train ticket?

@0xabad1dea I knew Odin was a train fan!

@jtig yes, it’s not expensive but an oversize dog does need a ticket for the intercity train in NL

@0xabad1dea Right Alt (AltGr) doesn't work?

@0xabad1dea Right Alt on European keyboards usually acts as Ctrl+Alt (eg \ on Slovenian keyboard is AltGr+Q or Ctrl+Alt+Q).

@0xabad1dea I was always amazed that even back in my Uni days, there were CompSci students who didn't know how to install an operating system, nor assemble a PC from parts.
Removing malware is definitely a step or five above those on the difficulty ladder, but still.... I just don't understand how people get into CompSci without some fundamental basics they picked up on their own.

@0xabad1dea Microsoft really fucked up when they decided to use alt for shortcut keys instead of its intended purpose of typing alternate characters

@0xabad1dea that's the reason why so many foss people are German: typing Windows paths on a German keyboard is terrible, so we use Linux instead and we all know that using Linux is a slippery slope to becoming a foss dev

@0xabad1dea that's how we feel about American video game layouts!

@0xabad1dea For a second I was all..... how often do you need a backslash?

@nuintari @0xabad1dea I have a masters in computer science and have never assembled a PC from parts (I guess I would be able to that without much googling? But I never tried it)
My bachelor's thesis and master's thesis don't even depend on the existence of PCs (as they are on topics in theoretical computer science), computer science has many aspects and you don't even have to be into computers that much to enjoy it -
