@dukepaaron @serge @hundertsieben Emoji are, from a standards point of view, a somewhat unique way for ISO to force unicode support on keyboard creators in regions where they wouldn't normally support anything other than the Latin alphabet. (Looking at you America). They also ended up being a kind of messed up workaround in the WordPress community to sneak in a security-related update before there was the ability to force an update from the .org side, but that's a long story that's something like ten plus years old now.

@heribertschindler @hundertsieben Crap forgotot make that last local I'll edit once the buffer updates. 👁

@heribertschindler @hundertsieben I think you could actually type this from an English non-unicode-supporting Windows keyboard, but you'd have to type the text equivalent of the unicode symbol and not the text-emoji shortcut. And I don't know what that is. So I'll stick to the emoji keyboard and get used to it loading slowly I guess.

Yeah I think I'm mostly feeling better today.

Yes thank you for your help because I wouldn't have known if the post was local or not without someone replying back from another instance to say they saw it.

I think I've figured out the problem though. I need to use the actual emoji and not the text form.

@heribertschindler @hundertsieben OK so you apparently have to use the actual emoji and not the emoji in text form.

Tweesecake. I was trying to post locally to the instance I'm on, so if you received it that didn't work properly.

@heribertschindler @hundertsieben OK let's see if that last worked. Trying it with the emoji picker. 👁

@heribertschindler @hundertsieben The i? How do I use the i? I've been seeing this around and wondered if it was just something wonky with the TTS I'm using with my screen reader since there seems to be a lot of that going around right now but it's the trade off for being able to read Hebrew. Anyway, how do I use the i, and how is the symbol pronounced so I can add it to the screen reader's dictionary?

@hundertsieben @serge To reply or post locally, you'll have to do it from the babka.social site instead of an app. I don't think there are any apps yet that support specific forks of Mastodon like Babvka is using, at least not features local to that fork.

Thanks.

Might I suggest getting yourself a white cane and then smacking them in the ankles with it I promise this is way more fulfilling than pistol whipping which will probably catch you an assault charge whereas the cane method likely won't because you can pass it off as an accident if you do it right.

I'm hoping to everything still kind of hurts and I'm slugging water like it's going out of style.

Yep.

Happy anniversary to you two and may you celebrate many many more.

It came from my fridge it was some hot dogs I ate

Unfortunately I can't help with this but happy to boost and I hope you find something that works the way you want it to.

@bhawthorne @RickiTarr I'm a Packers fan but this is still funny.

Welcome, and I'm glad you made it over here.
