Interesting read. It also mentions how it’s challenging for software to render 'algo text well. Hence my astonishment, that both my Lemmy-app (Voyager) and a plain text editor on my phone seem to have no trouble at all doing so. (Apart from overlapping the next lines).
And I’m also astonished how that piece of internet culture has largely gone by me, despite decades of heavy internet use… TIL, I guess.
I understood your intended meaning perfectly. Clever use of that stuff!
But I was curious how that works. Thanks for clearing it up a little. Though I’m still wondering, how that stuff gets encoded, and how it’s possible to work on here and why I can even copy it to a plain text editor and it still looks the same there.
Daran dachte ich auch. Aber das ist ja sexuelle Präferenz statt geschlechtliche Identität, nach der gefragt wurde. So gesehen: Thema verfehlt.
Und ich hab mich dann gefragt, ob meine sexuelle Präferenz auch bleiben würde, wenn ich ein anderes Geschlecht hätte… Das bleibt wohl hypothetisch.

Wtf are these? Is this unicode? It looks like webdings for Tibetans.
Strictly speaking, they’re not even units. Just shorthand for a factor.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will give that a try.
Update to this thought process:
I’ve set up a Knoppix-Linux Live-USB-stick and confirmed, that I can boot it on a different laptop.
But no luck on the Ideapad in question.
I think it is likely not a OS-problem, because I would also expect to see the BIOS splash screen and be able to get into BIOS setup, if simply the OS boot were at fault.
Ah yes, true. You just made me remember the time I had to blindly navigate another laptops BIOS to turn Switchable Graphics, because it’s screen was broken and it wouldn’t display anything externally, with that setting switched off.
If I do remember correctly, the current patient didn’t have that issue before it broke.
But no, I guess I can’t totally rule out a broken display. If I power the device on, the screen actually gets darker though. That seems to indicate, that it still receives power at least.
What more can I do to rule out a broken screen, when I don’t have any replacement parts ready?
I sometimes get a glimpse of the screen packlight turning on, when I keep the power button pressed for extended time. But nothing actually gets displayed on it.
I think the fact, that an external monitor doesn’t get any signal at all either rules out, that it’s limited to a broken screen, does it?
Sorry for the confusion. Afaik “no post” is what people call this behavior I’m describing, where it doesn’t even get to a bootloader or something.
I haven’t tried removing the RAM, since in this model the RAM is soldered to the mainboard, and I lack the equipment and skill to mess with that.
Thanks for your reply. But the issue here is, that I can’t even enter the BIOS.
Even if I use the Novo-Button, which should boot into a recovery menu, the screen just stays black. So that doesn’t work
Not really, since I can’t enter BIOS I cannot adjust boot priority, and don’t know what it is set to.
I’ve kinda excluded that as a possibility, but maybe I should try that just for good measure.

Ach warte… das ist gar kein Mikrofon, oder?
I think the Irish are still collectively lamenting the times, when there were not enough potatoes to eat.
Delicious!
Maybe some of this nuance is lost in translation between Dutch and English news media.
You mean Danish news media?
Manche Menschen nehmen zu/ab und dann passen sie nicht mehr.
Die Industrie will es so. Du musst einfach deinen inneren Danny DeVito endlich rauslassen. Dann klappt’s auch mit den Hosen.

No flak. I do, too.
