[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) != isn't universal, i've mostly seen it used in programming. Otherwise ≠ is the symbol we use in maths and generally the more common one. =/= is just the worst rendition of ≠ for people that don't know how to write it or are too lazy to go find it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mac@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah =/= is honestly a little confusing. I know != isn't universal though, gotta start making sure to use ≠ instead permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squidspinachfootball@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You're definite not wrong, I actually went to use "!=" first. But then thought if someone wasn't familiar with programming they might not get it, so I went with the "=/=" hoping it would make sense to more people. Forgot that we're on lemmy and the audience here would generally understand lol. Didn't know ≠ existed though, will probably use that from now on.
