I was thinking about whether I should put an /s in my comment when I wrote it, and I thought “nah, it’s pretty clear that it’s a joke”. You have proved me wrong. I promise to do better next time
Ah, got me with the ol’ Uno reverse card. It can be hard to tell with the tankies on Lemmy with zero senses of humor, taking every opportunity for diatribe, even obvious jokes
It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.
This is what we get for diverging from God’s word (ASCII)
I don’t like ASCII because it doesn’t has diacritics, and just by that it excludes the whole world.
I guess I should refrain from writing text in my own language using non-ASCII symbols due to American exceptionalism and piety.
Are there any major languages that actually struggle to be typed today?

Who is to say I am being totally serious here?

Too true.
Thank you for realizing the error of your ways
Eagle screech
(also /s in case that wasn’t clear)
I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok
I haven’t seen EBCDIC used anywhere other than the curriculum of my “Fundamentals of Programming” class 25 years ago.

I’m familiar with it from the aforementioned class, but thank you. I’ve just never seen it used.
And hopefully you never will
