  • I’ve used double hyphens for em dashes, because I’ve never bothered to figure out how to do it in Linux. I was a graphic designer for many years, and had a bunch of ASCII Alt codes memorized, but they don’t work in Linux, for whatever reason. I don’t really need them anymore, so I haven’t worried about it. So, I suppose the double hyphens shows I’m human, and definitely not a robot.

    E: One way in Linux is Ctrl-U 2014: —


  • So… Why don’t I see double spaces after your periods? Test. For. Double. Spaces.

    EDIT: Yep, double spaces were removed from my test. So, that’s why. Although, they are still there as I’m editing this. So, not removed, just hidden, I guess?

    I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.




  • We’ll never know exactly how many. I suppose there’s a way for outsiders to estimate it, but that won’t happen for weeks or months. Disney certainly won’t tell the truth over this.

    Oh, actually, I think the subscription numbers are reported to shareholders quarterly, so maybe we’ll see something by the end of the year. It’s not required, they could just not report it, or they might do some creative accounting to hide the actual numbers, so it’s still not reliable, imo.







  • I just played through Portal 2 a couple of weeks ago, for nostalgia’s sake.

    “Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is, we’re postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is, we’ve got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men! Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You’ll know when the test starts.”



  • I think the biggest channels I watch have under 4 million subscribers, and most of my channels have less than a million. I’ve never watched the big channels, so I don’t really care.

    A while back, YT asked me about turning on my watch history, but I didn’t know it was off. I don’t know what that was about–I think they changed something–but my knee-jerk reaction is to NOT do what they want me to do, so I left it off. Now I just watch whatever is new from my subscriptions, and don’t have any suggestions cluttering my front page, which is a much better way to use YT, imo. So, thanks, YT.
