Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #umlauts, aggregated by home.social.

  1. In #restricted mode, #VSCode highlights all #umlauts in a #German text as if they were a #threat. You have to manually insist you trust the source of the text before you can start to work.

    That is all you have to know about American programmers.

  2. It arrived albeit #FedEx fucked up all #umlauts in my shipping address, even in two different ways:

    Once they obviously took #UTF8 as #ISOLatin and once they seem to have taken one #8bit charset as another 8-bit charset, probably #ISOLatin1 as #CP850. 🙄 #schei_encoding #mojibake

    @Venty once described systems that have such issues as #UmlautlyChallenged. 😉

    But at least it arrived! I heard from a keyboard dealer that they stopped sending parcels to Europe with FedEx due to too much packet loss…
