I think this is something macOS does best — using shift+option hyphen is a bit quicker than alt+0151.

Odd, I see them used all the time, and I’m neither. So I guess either my experience is an outlier, everyone I talk to is secretly an LLM, or maybe the meme is pushing an easy conclusion because people in general are bad at picking up on LLM responses and want an easy punctuation mark so they don’t have to think.
They’re pretty trivial to make in any OS — having a dedicated key isn’t necessary.
Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

The only setting on his conversational style is angry old white man.

hibsen@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Soldier found dead at barracks feared ‘psychotic and possessive’ boss, inquest hears0·7 months agoIn-service death tends to be an almost automatic grant of service-connected death benefits, likely only burial in this case. DoD failed this person. That doesn’t mean that the VA will.

- He’ll appeal.
- Even if it’s permanent and the other kids are less shitty than the eldest, at the end of the day they’ll probably keep the propaganda going because they like being rich.

hibsen@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Interstate is closed outside Atlanta as residents evacuate due to a chemical plant fire0·1 year agoI’ve done some (grunt-level) work in chemical packaging. I didn’t see in the article if it specifies, but the place I worked handled tons of different types of chemicals and they’d all have their own precautions needed. If this place was the same (big if), the sprinklers are probably standard for fire, and the chemical in question should be delivered sealed in watertight drums and only opened/handled inside a small room-sized fume hood. We had specialized rooms for things like spontaneously combustible chemicals and poisonous inhalation hazards — those chemicals were never unsealed outside those rooms.
All that goes out the window I assume if this is the only chemical they handle.
I think we agree; the past is over.
hibsen@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Kentucky sheriff charged in judge’s death allegedly ignored deputy’s abuse of woman in his chambers0·1 year agoHas anything reputable reported on this? Everything I’ve read has said motive is under investigation, but it’d seem a bit clearer if this is actually true and not just facebook being facebook.
I have. It didn’t seem ridiculously priced and the results have included what I want the majority of the time. No complaints so far, and it’s been about six months.
Okay, the old ones that apparently have both do have the Thunderbolt symbol on the ones that are, though, so what’s the problem?
Why would you need them on a MacBook? They’re always Thunderbolt.
…well I’m definitely turning that on for my Linux machine then. Thanks for the tip.
