He’s a textbook case of someone who used to have interesting opinions and always wrote entertaining stuff into far-right bat shit craziness over the last five years or so. Very sad.

Ich habe mich die ganze Zeit gefragt, welcher absolut lächerliche Prominente die deutsche Analogie zu Donald Trump sein könnte. Vielleicht ist’s ja #attilahildman und der wird in ein paar Jahren Bundeskanzler?

Maybe we can generalize to “custom keyboard”? I’d need one because I’m a Neo2 user. Haven’t seen a way yet
