You know there’s someone somewhere who would answer you with, “what’s a desktop?”

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

“what’s a computer?”

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Firefox has an addon that opens up an emoji panel.

That doesn’t work on the desktop last I checked.

But it’s actually possible to set a password with emojis anyways (or at least for domain accounts). I successfully logged in on a VM using the Hyper-V window and pasting the emoji from the host. You can also name an account a single emoji and windows actually handles it decently. It’s very likely to break a lot of programs though.

Its worked on desktops for years and works right now. As someone else pointed out “win+.” works as well. Or maybe its supposed to be the only way it works and mine is bugged? Idk. I found it via trying to lock my desktop and mistyping.

Both work for me and I haven’t messed with the keybindings for it.
