I was thinking about whether I should put an /s in my comment when I wrote it, and I thought “nah, it’s pretty clear that it’s a joke”. You have proved me wrong. I promise to do better next time
Ah, got me with the ol’ Uno reverse card. It can be hard to tell with the tankies on Lemmy with zero senses of humor, taking every opportunity for diatribe, even obvious jokes
I substitute æ, ø and å with ae, oe and aa because it gives me trouble writing code. Does the programming language I write in and almost everything else support UTF-8: Yes. Does some obscure thing always fuck up the encoding of special characters: Yes.
Especially converting files and moving them between different OS sucks.
This is kinda what my joke is about, taking the parent comment “seriously” because someone, an American I presume, did not take encoding seriously once sometime and now fucks up my workflow for eternity.
I guess I should refrain from writing text in my own language using non-ASCII symbols due to American exceptionalism and piety.

Thank you for realizing the error of your ways

(also /s in case that wasn’t clear)
Are there any major languages that actually struggle to be typed today?
