It’s not.

And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he’s made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he’s made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.

That sounds like an alliterative challenge.

I think you’re making a joke I’m too oblivious to get, but in case I was wrong:

(Not to be confused with a similarly titled book that definitely uses the letter ‘e’)

Did you ever read that book that was written without using the letter “e”? Now there’s something on which English - the word itself even - depends.

Huh, I’ve never noticed you write a message without the need to replace a “th” before.

Personally I’d rather it broke mine.

After recently being barely able to leave bed for eleven days, I was diagnosed with a slipped disk and given a nerve blocking painkiller with planned escalating tiers of treatment. You might consider seeing an orthopedic doctor?

I believe that’s on purpose, a subversion of expectations.

I don’t think I like you.

My gums hurt without looking at this.

Just kidding. My gums are one of the few things that don’t hurt.

be funny at your own pace

Taking this as a kind comment, this is probably the … Third nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Maybe fourth. Thanks.

Yes, I am pondering trying to take over the world!

… I’m too tired to actually be funny/relevant, but I appreciate your engagement.

Yeah, so … This statement summarizes many of the problems with my modern life.

edit: Also, I like your username. It makes me think of both Discworld and Adventure Time, two things that serve to partially counter the depressing nature of this conversation.

You can end a line with a backslash to have single line line breaks.

Lemmy just uses markdown, so any good guide for that should be able to help you:

If you can’t find a specific thing, just searching “how to x in markdown” in your preferred search engine should net you an answer if x is supported.

There are also many markdown editors that can be run either locally or through a browser; these can be useful if you want to test some syntax without putting any mistakes in the eyes of the public. I like Obsidian for local editing and usually recommend this one for online testing.

Hope all that helps!

Why are there non breaking spaces?

I have three cars: '24 Chevy Bolt, a '24 Ford Edge, and a '79 Corvette. Unfortunately, for some unfathomable reason, the Corvette doesn’t have an associated app or even any remote connectivity. However, as you observed, the Ford does; as I mentioned, so does the Bolt.

The Chevy app I mostly use to make sure it’s plugged in before I go to bed. My Ford mostly stays outside of my garage, so the app primarily serves to start it remotely, letting the climate control run for a few minutes before I come out. (I also occasionally use it to honk because it amuses me, but I live in the middle of nowhere and am not bothering anyone other than maybe my wife.)

Back before the world was what it is today, I used to have a used '19 Tesla Model 3 (I replaced it with the Bolt). There were good things and bad things about it, but disregarding any social issues for the purpose of this comment, the app was better-functioning than that of any car I’ve purchased since. I was grandfathered into everything, so nothing was paywalled, and most of the stuff worked most of the time, unlike the Ford or Chevy apps which usually require multiple tries and sometimes chastise me for trying multiple times.

And since I’m writing about cars, I will say that the absolute best (for personal enjoyment, not external considerations) vehicle I’ve ever owned was a 2014 Ford Flex, Titanium Trim. There was no app because 2014, but goddamn if I didn’t love that car.

My '24 Chevy does this, too. Lock, unlock and remote start apparently route through OnStar, so using those requires an OnStar subscription.

How kind! Thank you, I’ll reach out shortly.
