Maybe putting two spaces between sentences is an affectation like using a pocket watch or wearing a hat? What markup you use doesn't seem to improve the organization or content of the wiki. I don't expect any of my fellow engineers to be brilliant at organizing content, I assume that's a skill you need training in, but it seems rare for anyone to even bother trying to add content or get beyond complaining about how they searched for something and the information they wanted wasn't the first search result. Maybe voluntarily writing down stuff that only you know is reducing your job security?? ahmeni posted:who the gently caress decided it was okay to allow Unicode zero width and RTL characters in filenames RACIST

from elementary school through college we were taught to do two spaces after a sentence so it's ingrained into my brain. gently caress y'all also markdown sucks because it doesn't offer any easy way to block format things like code. reddit's is such hot garbage

my high school bought a bunch of pentiums with 75 MHz or whatever processors but no hard drives, so we had to pass boot floppies around to get dos going on those puppies so we could gently caress around with some version of WordPerfect that didn't support mouses... good thing cause we didn't have mouses this was 1996.

my typing class was required but i was already a good typist because i was a loser nerd pc gamer, the entire class was just type up this entire typing book and save it on the server (this is in the ps/2 days, so hella advanced, you could play battle chess!). i just would hammer away at it hardcore and finished in like 6 weeks and the teacher let me go next door to the actual PC lab that Windows NT 4.0 and i could dick around in there for the rest of the semester.
