Negative thoughts flooded my mind. The EU is constantly trying to push Chat Control. They’re blocking bootloaders on phones, introducing ID and face scanning everywhere, in the US they’re trying to push system-level verification, corporations are spitting in our faces and don’t even hide it. I know we have to fight. My personal rebellion was joining Fediverse and Lemmy and quitting Reddit. But seriously, boss—I’m tired. Are our attempts to preserve internet freedom futile? Can we win against corporations and politicians who we pay but don’t listen to us?
How do you even type an em-dash?
Alt + 0151 (on the num pad)
Or just press Ctrl + Alt + -
That doesn’t work, try ctrl + alt + del
Lemmy lets me do it by typing three hyphens - - - without spaces—like this.
But I really don’t see a reason to use anything other than a hyphen - it shows I’m human!
oh—that’s neat!
Yea I thought this was a bot, 5 hour old account and such a weird first post containing an em-dash. Glad I was mistaken!
Dunno, I think autocorrection on my phone placed it for me
On my system, I can use the compose key to type a bunch of unicode chars, such as
—,…,≠,→and so on. Sadly, the pervasive use of em-dashes by LLMs ruined my use of them… It’s a pity, because I quite like them stylistically.
