Eh, Lemmy is way more mature as a platform than PixelFed is, and he mentioned that.

I think the explanation being in relation to what it’s intended to replace is more likely. He doesn’t care as much about getting people off Reddit as he cares about getting people off Zuck and Musk’s platforms.

Sorry for the late reply, I don’t use this account very often.

But by “it”, I meant “entering characters using the HTML entity code”. But I can see how my comment could have been interpreted to mean the nbsp itself.

On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.

The law would probably make sure customers whose products are being bricked are counted as creditors. Ideally after employees (unpaid wages) and before investors. They may not get full refunds, but they’ll be entitled to something if it’s possible.

I like that in Fahrenheit 0 is a cold winter’s day, and 100 is a hot summer’s day.

Fahrenheit fans always say stuff like this, but it just doesn’t work. 100 isn’t too bad in that respect, but 0 is just insane. If you want it to be equivalent, 0 °F would be 0 °C. Because there’s no way that -18 °C is as cold as 38 °C is hot.

Besides that, knowing about things like snow or ice outside, whether your fridge is likely to cause some stuff to frost over, etc., or whether the thing you’re cooking has reached boiling point are all just as valid things for your day-to-day experience.

But besides all that, SI is a package deal. You use Fahrenheit and now you’ve got to redefine all the other units that are derived from the Kelvin, because now you’re suddenly using Rankine.
