dessalines,

Markdown. Its only in tech-spaces that its preferred, but it should be used everywhere. You can even write full books and academic papers in markdown (maybe with only a few extensions like latex / mathjax).

Instead, in a lot of fields, people are passing around variants of microsoft word documents with weird formatting and no standardization around headings, quotes, and comments.

dessalines,

Most ppl have settled on Commonmark luckily, including us.

dessalines,

For sure, I bet full fledged editors like word don’t even let you import it.

dessalines,

Hedgedoc / hackmd support a good amount of extensions out of the box. I think typora and obsidias do also (but not open source).

dessalines,

My main wishlist for markdown, is a better live collaborative markdown editor. Hedgedoc works, but it’s showing it’s age, and they don’t seem to be getting close to releasing v2.

Etherpad also has a markdown extension, but it doesn’t import / export that well.

dessalines,

I believe commonmark tries to specify a minimum baseline spec, and doesn’t try to to expand beyond that. It can be frustrating bc we’d like to see tables, superscripts, spoilers, and other things standardized, but I can see why they’d want to keep things minimal.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community?

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts...

dessalines,

dessalines,

I make a ton of vegan chicken, steak, and jerky nearly every week and use it in all my recipes. You can make a ton at once, and obvi it’s much cheaper than flesh / secretion-based products.

After getting really good at them, and swapping out milk for oat milk, I’ve pretty much had to change nothing about what I want to make / eat.

dessalines,

Sure!

  • VSteak
  • VChicken (I don’t use jackfruit tho, and just use the same weight of tofu as the base)

For vjerky, I just make a double batch of the steak, but after it’s done cooking, instead of marinating it, I cut them into thin strips, put it in a dehydrator (you can also just use an oven), then put them into plastic bags with some olive oil and different spices, or just pepper. There are good youtube vids that are all pretty close to that.

dessalines,

I don’t follow. But vegan chefs are wizards that can recreate any taste / texture.

dessalines,

That’s incredibly sad.

dessalines,

I’m seeing a lot of this on nearly every single !vegan post, but:

Please report any comments breaking Rule 2 of this community: no omni / carnist apologists.

dessalines,

Was just about to comment this. Paddy chafeyesky is a really unique but complicated figure, and how they let him, john sayles, and a few others get away with socialist themes in movies, I’ll never know.

dessalines,

Tasks.org is both well maintained, and supports repeated tasks.

dessalines,

Yes of course. I average around 45 wpm.

Edit: just did another test, and I got 56wpm, but that’s probably higher than my average.

dessalines,

Life is a comedy to those who think, but a tragedy to those who feel.

dessalines,

Its only for blocking URLs and domains at the site level, mainly to prevent server-wide spam attacks.

Community blocking is your best option for not wanting to see memes / US news. As long as those aren’t spilling out where they shouldn’t be, it should only be a handful of communities to block.

dessalines,

Thx! Yep it wasn’t too difficult to add, and it’ll be in the next release.

dessalines,

Nice! Every community we can get onto the fediverse, and off of reddit, is a victory.

dessalines,

A giant metal wok spatula is an absolute must-have also.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
