Probably just that. As an ESL, I never encountered or taught about em dash. I would use semicolons they way OP uses those weid longer dashes. Probably the em dash is better / more "proper" way.

I like what they are offering. It's also not that expensive in my part of the world, on par with some other cheap Chinese phones.

This is where I feel piefed is better for onboarding new threadiverse users, from reddit or elsewhere.

On sign up, they ask you for some topics you'd like to see, ask about how you want to see US politics being in your feed, and lastly they have set topics feed already that you can choose to view.

Personally I think piefed is the next good iteration of the threadiverse. It's an in between of having to curate your feeds on your own (Lemmy and mbin) and algorithmic feed (reddit and other thread based social media).

Desktop use is already good, although personally I'd like Tesseract front end support. Mobile still needs to be picked up by more apps personally. Interstellar is good, but I like the "read on scroll" and "hide read posts" from Thunder. Despite that though, it's also good already on mobile browsers

I'm fine with supporting small devs with cosmetics. Of course there are already mods for cosmetics

The current maps and monsters are already feeling stale though, but I'm looking forward to their promised updates including a new map type.

Right you are. I forgot about the medieval/ fantasy RTS games. Mainly I'm not that interested in them. I like otw scifi / modern army RTS

DORF is absolutely amazing looking. It has that big oversized cheesy look of Red Alert 2, but as well that the silhouette of the units looks easy to identify at a glance.

I think Tempest is closer to like C&C 3 TibWars

At least it's not a SC2 "killer". I mean I like SC2 enough but I don't quite like it as C&C

I usually don't trust big site reviews, but seeing an RTS getting an 85 in 2025 is still head turning

Or maybe we're starved for RTS in the traditional sense

Adjacent to an e-reader, but Microsoft tried that. Typical Microsoft fashion, they fumbled it.

When bluesky blew up last year almost instantly people made block lists, curated feeds list, etc of the sort. All built in. As much shit bluesky is getting for their wrongdoings, they did make very useful good things too.

Although I have to admit I'm not a big microblogs user. I mostly follow illustrators on Twitter and bluesky, not for hot takes

They were better when they were a piracy site, price not withstanding

I've been using Spark email for my casual email accounts and Nine (9folders) for my work related email, including a personal work facing/professional email and an email provided by my employer.

I'm looking to consolidate to just use one app and why not FOSS. But if you somehow think there's a better non FOSS I don't mind.

What I liked about Spark that I don't think is true anymore, is that it used to try and be a replacement of Inbox when Google decided to kill it. So I'd say that I like how Inbox 99.99% of the time categorized incoming emails automatically for me into separate inboxes or folders I suppose.

Admittedly it's better for me to cull the newsletters and promos I got but I'll Get There Eventually ™️

For what I like of Nine though, I honestly not sure anymore. I guess it was for Exchange as that's what I was given by the client for a project before, and what my employer used to use. Otherwise it's just momentum because I paid for it years ago.
