do they make trackpoints in pink or purple

i can find red and blue

protip: if your latex document doesn't compile right, just try again 4 or 5 times

i poked around settings without changing ANYthing at all and after a few times it worked ????

latex is just like that i guess???
like i know about the thing where it has a specific sequence it has to do things in but it didn't work after 2 tries, it was more like 3 or 4

for some reason if i compile the tex in the thinkpad the bibliography page is missing entirely (no thrown errors) but if i compile it on my i5 it's there and i don't know how differently set up texlive is on either machine???

you'd think using latex would be easier in linux than in windows

swiping my right thumb across the fingerprint reader is way cooler than typing a password to install apt packages

@InspectorCaracal in re: the dropbox thing, there was an old guide that showed how to get dropbox bindings working with thunar using nautilus-dropbox (xubuntu uses thunar instead of nautilus) but apparently all that has changed now

ok NOW i can start working on that damn report...

áéíóú

's'm't

aaaaaaa fuckin finally

this should be built in, not a git repo

jesus thank fuck for people with more patience than me https://github.com/raelgc/win_us_intl

uuuggghhhhhhhhhhh https://askubuntu.com/questions/110828/how-can-i-use-dead-keys-for-consonants

fuck linux honestly

no worries <3

apparently in linux any keyboard layout that does automatic accent composition includes letters that that language does not use

portuguese layout makes you type ś and ḿ too

this just never came up for me because my other computers either have abnt2 keyboards or the ones with US keyboards use an OS that doesn't have ś or ḿ like windows

using a compose key is extremely irritating for me because i'll never remember to do that because that is not how i've typed for 20 years

what i want: brazilian portuguese typing but on US keyboard, basically

just like computers in the 90s did it

this laptop has an US layout but i want to be able to type in portuguese too

US-international doesn't cut it

even the ABNT2 layout i just tried does ś and ḿ and ignores '+t, except using a wrong keyboard layout

so like, i don't know what else to do

that last toot took like a minute to send wow

windows back in the 90s used to be able to use an US keyboard exactly the way i want it to be so idk why linux in the 2017 dropped that and it irritates me a lot
