Does anyone know how to get #Claude to stop using em-dashes? I have told it (repeatedly) to stop in the context of the conversation. It's also explicitly in the instructions: do not use em-dashes.

differently than Joomla's native architecture. A full redirect plan to protect years of search equity. Content freezes at critical points so the editorial team could keep publishing throughout.
Six months from planning to launch. The site went live in January 2019 and is still running today — now
There is no direct migration path from Joomla 1.0 to WordPress. The content had to move through Joomla 1.5 first. Three platforms. Two migration phases. Nearly 7,000 articles and 8,000 media items dating back to 2004.
Manual MySQL work. A third-party publishing plugin that stored content
A national news org came to me with a problem. Their site was on Joomla 1.0 — past end of life, never redesigned for mobile, slow, and fragile. And they published original journalism every day.
Every single time I try to do something on one of my kids' Apple devices I have to resist the urge to throw it out the window. So much lockin to the ecosystem it's infuriating.

How bad is the cloudflare outage? Even downdetector.com is down.
No longer on Apple TV now? Only on Amazon Prime.
I brewed #coffee in my Moka this morning without water.
It makes a lot of smoke and smells horrible in case you're wondering.
After 30 min of cleanup, I did finally get coffee.
I just used @mapquest.com for the first time in years. The feature that optimizes a multistop trip by time or mileage is so useful!
💡 99 Nights in the forest is today's version of Oregon Trail.
I just switched the other way - from LM and a brief stint with Fedora42 and Ubuntu. Kubuntu is running quite well on my Inspiron 14 Plus, better than the others.
Does it need to be local on the desktop? I use AntennaPod on Android, have been quite happy with it.
Pretty bummed to hear about Fakespot shutting down in July. The only Fakespot alternative I can find is ReviewMeta (currently running slower than molasses).
Are there others to consider?
Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I like this idea in theory, but I've had very little issue with purchasing no-OS systems or just replacing Windows on systems from major vendors (usually Thinkpads).
