you've been hit by — you've been struck by — an angry_autist

i get the point, though. the "em" and "en" dashes are products of typography, so they're not really "linguistic" insomuch as "stylistic". just like my obnoxious use of quotes, they help to clarify language, but they're not really part of it and are really only subjective. i disagree with some of the way it was worded and some of the things said, but the post is solid, even if just a bit off-topic.

my REAL beef is between hyphens and en-dashes. those fuckers are the same dude, and i'll burn down your house if you disagree with me

so......?

if this is what it takes for people to start taking their first look at using linux, then i'm 100% here for it. it isn't a desktop OS yet, but it's definitely got eyes on the penguin now.

it cannot be understated just how much work valve has put into making linux gaming viable. and it's going to matter a lot more than some might think

i don't disagree with anything you said, but i don't know if it all really applies when we're talking about dynasties and bloodlines and heritages and stuff. i've worked closely with some of these people, and it's a different life entirely.

and you're missing a category. but we don't talk about that category.

um, i don't think that's the flex you think it is..

this guy is so fucking boned that he's conflating the covid-era remote working (which he's supposed to be rallying against) with - correct me if i'm wrong - physical manufacturing. right? am i high?

don't fucking question the king. his kid can turn on his own laptop!

who attended Trump's crypto dinner? your fucking rulers, that's who.

i hear you can check in any time you want

it's all fun and games until you start wearing them

i have three reasons i'd like to share about why i disagree, but now i'm self-conscious :P

thanks, you just woke up my wife

Lori's bridge now

fuck. you.

thanks - and i guess that's the point i should have emphasized. it isn't that we aren't using them in our writing.. it's more that the formatting in generated content uses these characters in ways that we don't (or aren't picked up by autocorrect?) when we write authentically

the overarching question for me, though, has always been "why"?

please do understand that it's a question that's only asked by one who's never held power, though.

thank you, fellow human.

that's one i genuinely wonder about though. it was the embarrassing early years of generative ml. will it care to keep it for us? eww, i just got those terminator chills again

never forget will smith spaghetti

gotta count how many fingers it took to pull the trigger
