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 Eons ago I had a roommate who taught compsci at a local college. When students would take their computers to class to get her help, she'd bring them home for me to unfuck. Dunno if she took the credit, but I didn't care because I enjoyed doing it.

@0xabad1dea Comp Sci is very distinct from IT! I always called the IT guy to fix things, even as a senior developer! I figured they're like the mechanic, and I'm the driver.
(Except for that job where we all had to run Gentoo Linux. Then we all had to be the whole thing!!)
@GinevraCat @0xabad1dea Was this in NL? The only other person I have had refer to Gentoo is @ministraitor

@0xabad1dea A friend of mine had to travel with his rottweiler. To a small village, where only buses go. So he tried to buy a ticket for himself and the dog. The local bus company had no dog tickets, but the clerk lady was helpful: “A doggie can ride on your lap, sir, without ticket!”.
Eventually he asked me to give them a lift.

@vickyjo @GinevraCat @0xabad1dea I'm not _that_ much of a trendsetter...

Uhh.. Really unfortunate line-break there...
Plus, it's not the CompSci student's fault they don't - and can't - teach foundational computing...
But somewhat related...

@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 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!
"Oh just use the ~ key! Just press the < key! This feature is mapped to the } key and you can't remap it! Yeah press the key that has the first line of the constitution on it!"
