This is an expansion of a post i made previously, but apparently dead keys literally do not work at all anymore. I had used msklc to get a dead key to work again, it worked once but it was a buggy mess, i rebooted, now the dead key doesn't work again, and neither do any more dead keys i attempted to create. It seems dead keys just do not work at all anymore and i wanna get around this without having to install a whole other OS. what can i do? Edit: i just found out, dead keys actually work only in the first few minutes since the system has booted, but after that it stops working again, this is so stupid.

I used the Danish keyboard layout(win11) for both italian and Danish, because Italian needs àèéìòù and that language setting allowed me to type those. when I pressed the key next to backspace it waited until I pressed a vowel and it would write the vowel with the accent. if you pressed it twice it would write two lone accent symbols like this: ``. one day, it randomly stopped waiting for the vowel and immediately writes two symbols so it renders writing the accented letters impossible. i had changed no setting, done nothing, and my keyboard cannot be dirty or something because otherwise it would be hitting that key twice in other languages too. i cleaned it anyway. i tried redownloading the Danish layout but nothing changed. what can I do? having to change language gets quite annoying when you have to do it often.

I don't know if this was asked before and I don't know how to look for that so I'm sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn't care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they're like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don't wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I'm not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can't think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.

I can't find how to make revanced a default app, and clicking on YouTube links always opens the legit app, which is annoying

Before the last update, collapsed comments would stay collapsed even after leaving the post. After the last update they decollapse again.

I've posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don't really care about the karma because I can't see it anyway, but I'm worried that comments and posts here are gonna get downvoted and dismissed without further consideration solely because of the negative score, like what would happen on reddit. I suspect someone, a troll, a bot, or a misclick downvoted my comment or post and people just followed along downvoting in turn. It's either that, or I genuinely said something bad but I can't figure for the life of me that it is indeed bad. My prime example is my support post for commenting under certain posts, why did that get the downvotes? And I see this kind of thing sometimes on other people's comments as well, and I'm baffled, is it me who can't understand why something is bad, or hive mind came here too?

EDIT: it seems i wasn't clear enough. a) I'm not worried about getting the actual downvotes. I'm worried about downvotes stopping to be a tool to gauge content. b) I'm not worried about controversial opinions' downvotes, I already said I'm not surprised I got downvoted there. I was talking about totally mundane posts, like that one support post. c) I'm not talking about people simply disagreeing, I'm talking about people immediately disregarding a post because of the downvote count. it's not correct to say this doesn't happen, it totally does and... how am I supposed to prove that? all it takes on reddit is see a comment on 0 for no reason and see it quickly drop to -5

Before, when I accidentally clicked on a username, or on a link, or on a reply button, all collapsed comments would explode, which was annoying. This seems to have changed, which is a godsend. Thank you devs :D

Let's say we left one single very smart guy (not necessarily with the knowledge: they may be able to understand hard stuff when taught it, but not know it already) alone on a copy of the earth. That person is also immortal. Could that person, by themselves, gain back all knowledge, maybe also experimental, or even surpass that is already available to us right now, before the planet gets inevitably engulfed by a sun turning red giant?

Really I'm just tired of hearing about Elon cause it'll always provoke a reaction in me

I don't want to block world_news and news altogether, I still want to see the less political and the non ukraine war related news, so what other options do I have?

I found Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify on my home, yet I never even visited their websites on this phone. I never recently installed or visited sus places, I ran a full scan with Kaspersky, found nothing. I disabled "MetaAppInstall" from the settings. I have a Redmi Note 12 Pro. I did some googling and it says for Facebook that it's because of sponsorship. Is this it? You literally can't escape from those apps even by never looking at them because your phone will force them on you? Or is there some other reason? Edit: I can uninstall them, and I did. It's just that they installed themselves and I don't want them to do it again

Sometimes I'll feel like "yeah, I know some math, I can do integrals!", then watch some YouTube video from Micheal Penn about why there's no three dimensional complex numbers, and suddenly it's dark magic. I understand absolutely n o t h i n g. it's impressive, inspiring, depressing, overwhelming, all at the same time. There's no fancy words. It's all mundane words like set, algebra, etc. but they're strung together in arcane ways. it's more overwhelming because you understand the individual words but they're a whole other language when together.
