  • Tbf I do this too but sometimes Windows will shut down after an update and next time I start it it will “configure my PC”, restart once more and then show me the login screen. Doesn’t even take 5 tho. The worst thing however is when I start my laptop and login, just for Windows to decide it’s updating rn. However this is usually happening at work so I suspect that the update server on the domain pushes an urgent security update that can only happen once a user logged in. Still super annoying but doesn’t take more than 5 minutes.



  • I think you’d be surprised how close it would actually be, seeing how German spelling is almost spot on to the written word. Like here for example. I took the liberty to steal your post

    Bii tö tseints juu vant to sii in tis völd." Du juu häv ä feivörit kvout?

    “Be the change you want to see in this world” Do you have a favorite quote?

    Good job on “quote” that’s creative spelling. In “Vörld” the o in this case is actually an ö when looking at it with a German pronunciation. Now, this is my attempt at that sentence:

    “Bie dä tschänsch ju want to sie in dis wörld” Du ju hef ä fevorit quote?

    I have not seen this kind of language, so I assume it’s a new trend for English speaker. In the DACH region, writing like you speak your accent is a pretty common thing outside the major towns. I’ll leave you with a pretty complex example where the writer tried to show the pronunciation by using different circumflex to show how different letters are pronounced. https://pasteboard.co/rMJcvSHAFx6g.jpg It’s pretty extreme, but if you are fluent in any German alpine dialect you will have little problem reading it.



  • I’m worried too but I doubt countries who voted against it will just lie down and turn over. I’m sure local courts will fight this on the grounds of national privacy laws. And just because the EU wishes this to be a thing doesn’t mean it’s happening too. The technological groundwork needs to be developed for this and I can imagine that some service will drag their feet at implementing that. At least that’s my unicorn utopia with rainbows I currently live in to bear this reality 🫠
