Gals with a time machine: "OMG you're my grandma! You're so CUUUUUTE as a teenager!"

Dudes with a time machine: "LET'S KILL HITLER!"

Nerds with a time machine: "FINALLY, I can get all the retro hardware I want in near perfect condition for dirt cheap!!!"

How many of you write #Markdown stuff on your #android phone regardless of how often?

How important is it to visually see the styling of Markdown elements while writing?

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@sen

Only occasionally, via #SimpleNote.

I almost never view the formatted version, and even on the desktop, I generally only view the live highlighting in #NeoVim, or use a terminal markdown viewer that performs very similar basic formatting.

The only time I'm viewing fully-fornatted markdown output is when I'm proofreading blog posts before publishing. (In a web browser)

Overheard today someone referring to the cybertruck as an Elon P76 and it just tickled my slightly obscure Australian motoring history gland.

Dear God... trying to type into the chat field on major financial website on a 12th Gen i7 and it's like watching the text appear in slow motion.

LET'S JUST BURN THE WEB DOWN AND START A NEW ONE.

There are some people on here who I like, but can't stand to follow, because they post too many hot takes that turn out to not be accurate.

Man, have I got an inaccurate hot take about people who don't like inaccurate hot takes... XD

Hey is @_ still around?

I guess not. :( @_

Oh, it seems @_ works, and @_ works, but not @_ anymore. Hmm

(Or maybe it only worked with tut)

    New season of Doctor Who, with the 15th Doctor, starts in exactly 2 hours!
    For me that is at 19:00. (7:00pm)
    Shall be watching on Disney+

    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @SolusSpider

    Ah, nice. I'm way behind. I stopped watching after The Timeless Child.

    I'd like to re-start with the 9th doctor at some time.

    How many new Tennant episodes did we get? No spoilers, though ;)

    @SolusSpider

    Ah, not as much as I'd hoped, but hey, it's better than just one special. (10 was my fave)

    Looking forward to catching up.. sometime. :D

    Enjoy!

    Israel just shredded the UN 🇺🇳 charter at the United Nations and I am not sure if there is a visual more fitting for what that country has done to the world:

    That's gotta be the most fascist thing I've seen in quite some time.

    Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.

    Someone needs to write an videogame called "Dopamine Farming" where you have a stable job and a great life and all of a sudden DONT care about anything in the world and start planning things around the dopamine they will produce so you can get through the day, like, "Time for a haircut! I don't need one that badly, but that's fifteen dopamine points, so I'll take it!"

    @tulpa

    YAAAAS!

    "Arch-based distro nuked grub! -100 points! Argh!"

    Listening to your Republican church friends talk about... ANYTHING other than genuine faith or totally banal subjects. MINUS FIVE MILLION POINTS!!!! Yow!

    Gnome boxes is nice. Have you tried out QuickGUI? Very similar idea, but more built-in OS choices including windows and MacOS. ;)

    There was a great little website called distrotest dot net where you could spin up a bespoke VM at a moment's notice and access it through a JS-based vnc client.

    It was kinda choppy, performance-wise, and there was no networking provided (for pretty obvious reasons), but it was still great to test various distros and even BSDs out with.

    I'm prepared to announce and pursue at this neurodivergent conference call idea alone for a long time before it catches on. It's hard to make things catch on, especially with a crowd that isn't particularly sociable and good at showing up for appointments.

    Lemme get this straight, helped themselves to $80 out of my account every month for several months while I dealt with undiagnosed with no help from them (kinda hard to get treatment when you have to initiate all of the communication and you have raging ADHD). The US FTC sued them and all I get back is $9.70?

    Good grief.

    OH SNAP, they got sued for selling customer's data TO FACEBOOK. WOW! WHAT A PARAGON OF VIRTUE.

    BetterHelp. More like GetShafted.

    Oh, I thought it was the FTC directly. Oh well.

    Somehow they weaseled out of abiding by HIPAA compliance, which is the closest thing we have to actual privacy protections in the U.S.

    I have a 12 inch iBook G4 if anyone within the continental US wants it. Not even going to ask shipping, I just want to get rid of it.

    It's a lower specced one. It's physically damaged (looks to have been dropped) but I know the logic board still works.

    I hate to, but 3 days til I throw it out.
