If we can’t be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I’ve turned off reply notifications.

    There are (rare though they may be) people like me who actually know the ALT code for em-dash by heart and have used it for years long before AI. Thanks to people now just assuming I’ve switched to double-dashes mostly.

      The compose key exists, too (and wincompose for Windows users) — makes it easy to use. And all sorts of other symbols like ¿Por qué no los dos? and I can uſe the old long-‘s’ character eaſily… (and that’s a real ellipsis)

        Holy shit… I had no clue that wincompose exists. For years, I’ve wanted exactly this. I’m so glad that someone had the same idea, skill, and time to create this. Thank you for sharing!

          <3 <3 <3 The only symbol I’ve wanted that apparently doesn’t have a sequence is for pi. And I know you can add sequences in Linux, but haven’t been bothered to figure out if/how with wincompose. heh.

          Have fun! Oh, and one bit that took me a long time to find but I use all the time; ① - numbers in circles, a rare three-character sequence - parentheses surrounding a number i.e. (1) :) (numbers ① through ㊿ exist)

        And Mac has alt - for –, and shift alt - for —. We use the English (Macintosh) keyboard layout on our Linux boxen, so we’ve got that too!
