It’s always a series of extensions nonstandardized but said to all be under the same umbrella. It would be better if these things called a spade a spade & say Markdown-like or Markdown-inspired instead of giving a false sense of compatibility.
You last me at teabags. What are you doing‽ Loose-leaf hea is cheaper, easier, is almost always high quality, doesn’t impart a taste of bag, better flavor on multiple steeps, & isn’t literal trash (plastic ones are real bad for the environment). You get higher quality leaves & now you don’t need to carry around milk or sugar to mask the bad flavor too.
Downvotes here showing it’s controversial, but I am willing to bet these folk have never given AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, & LaTeX a spin in comparison (for ‘real world’ documentation, etc. with multiple output targets) to actually know what they are talking about 😅
There’s also a jillion places ta host static sites with less complexity of the code albeit more complexity to get started for many non-developers. The thing is there was abtime when high schools everywhere were teaching basic HTML so you could be a part of this new internet thing, but now folks don’t think they can have their own chunk anymore separate from the corporations. You still can but the knowledge seems lost & certain technically hurdles like TLS which I mentioned make it just one step more difficult.
Folks literally have no conept anymore that you can just slap HTML on a page. & with the advent of needing TLS, it starts to become more technical than a lot of folks want to bother learning & maintain versus the days of raw FTP uploads.
Markdown is trash. It almost always comes in a fork that is naturally incompatible with other forks & never has the features you need for blogging or technical writing (leading to abuse of the limited features, unsemantic markup output, and/or embedding HTML which is both ugly & also ruining portability to non-HTML targets). This leaves you locked into some specific tool’s forked implementation & never looks good in other contexts. Markdown was also never the only or best option for lightweight markup at any time.
Never tried banana peel tea, but I would be willing to try it
Would be awesome if they offered an alternative forge & chat so they aren’t locked entirely to proprietary software for communication / contribution. 😔
This was the year I tried out Darcs & Pijul. With conflicts being less problematic & easier to collab without patch order mattering, you gotta wonder why all of this effort is still put into bolting stuff atop Git instead of moving on & helping the tooling in this space.
Second place would be Movim as a decentralized social media platform built atop the XMPP server you are already running.
Buying & steeping loose leaf tea instead of bagged garbage. Higher quality, lower price, actually tastes decent with multiple steeps. If I don’t finish the leaves, I fill the teapot with water to have cold brew the next morning. If you get into it, an electric kettle that lets you set the temperature is essential since you can avoid burning leaves much easier & unlocking more delicate leaves that require lower temperatures. Last tip which should be obvious: no milk or sugar & if you think it tastes bad, why do you keep buying black tea instead of something good?
It’s hot as balls & sweaty here so I don’t really see the point most of the time
US has tipping, gerrymandering, male circumcision, & other weird tendencies. Washing your butt with water is even older, maybe even ‘no tech’. Regardless, you owe yourself to install some option for yourself. 😀
This is how I stumbled onto Soulseek—I needed albums, not tracks
Probably the worst movie I have seen. Thanks for making me re-remember it.
Do I look like the Pope? Can’t say I shit in the woods often…
2010s* …apostrophes are for possession & contractions
Bidet in their many forms are a clear upgrade. I would take a bucket of water & a place to wash my hands over TP.
One day they will wake up & provide an OLED option with 100% DCI-P3
Y’all. Nostalgia is a strong drug, but we all gotta move past Nintendo with its years of behavior like this. Support indies.
Many of these will handle the TLS for you, but that supposes you need a specific service. Then & even now you can still host your own website / services at home without any specialized gear (I do). If IPv6 were more common, it would be even easier.
