b3an, in Different display of .md format text in different Android apps
@b3an@lemmy.world avatar

I would guess it is how each developer choose to implement it. Markdown is really just simple text. Usually apps are enriching it based on that, but each can implement it differently. Obsidian.md is how I like my Markdown to look. But it’s not a Lemmy app. I think they use front-matter or something

Diplomjodler, in What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?

Any claim that is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Enkers, (edited )

Any claim can be inverted, so lacking evidence in either direction, this applies to the inverse as well.

I personally prefer more psychologically rooted arguments that lean towards at least compatibilism. If a belief in free will, regardless of the actual fact, is sufficient to affect one’s actions, is that not evidence against hard determinism?

conciselyverbose,

Nah. It just extends down. Your belief, and any changes over time, are also predetermined as some sum of your inputs.

Enkers, (edited )

Sure, but the compatibilist view is, in my understanding, that determinism is true, but we still have free will. The mind is so complex its deterministic function can’t be fully predicted, so the outcome of particular inputs over any meaningful duration cannot be computed. Thus actual free will and the illusion of free are essentially functionally identical.

Diplomjodler,

This is all just pointless speculation.

Dismissing a claim is not equivalent to asserting the negated claim.

Enkers,

Right, but lacking any physical evidence in either direction, is it not reasonable to then turn to purely rational explanations if we want to arrive at some sort of belief?

Diplomjodler,

Why would we want to do that? Why believe things for which there is no rational basis?

Enkers,

You can have a rational basis for a belief without empirical evidence (Russell’s teapot, for example). The reason you’d want to do that is to simplify the model of reality you’re working with in order to reduce the number of contingencies you need to account for.

Markdown is supposed to be readable without rich text formatting.

There’s no one way of displaying markdown as long as the semantic structure is respected. Dashes, hyphens, circles or dots. Don’t matter as long as it’s an unordered bulleted list and the correct hierarchy and sequence is followed for each block of text. Similarly the indentation of all those things is irrelevant and to the taste of the reader’s implementation.

You don’t indent text in markdown to signal formatting. You indent text in markdown to signal a code block. To signal other semantic structures you use other plaintext markers.

Read the original definition of the format to understand which are they. The purpose of markdown is to write the same general and commonly used mark-up elements used in HTML (paragraph, links, references, lists, tables and emphasis, amongst many others) with plaintext, in a less verbose and more human friendly way. And just like HTML, the formatting is supposed to be separate. With CSS or such other techniques. As a result, the formatting is free to change while the underlying structure and meaning of text stays the same.

Sibbo, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

The back button on my mouse. Suddenly the browser goes back one page and forgets where the video on the other page was. Then I have to seek again to figure it out myself.

Seasoned_Greetings,

If you’re like me and think it’s really stupid that a mouse has a mapped “back” key instead of an extra button, you can easily remap it with x-mouse.

It’s freeware, it’s extremely light weight and efficient, cleanly starts on boot with no obtrusive ads or notifications, and has a whole suite of options including active-window-specific remapping.

I use it almost exclusively to remap the back and forward buttons on my trackball.

Ctrl + Q (close window) in my browser instead of Ctrl + W (close tab)

Similarly, Ctrl + R when Discord has focus (when I thought Firefox was focused instead).

nicetomeetyouIMVEGAN, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

Nuclear missile launch button. Luckily it has a cover you have to pull first! Haha.

tallwookie, in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza

oh Israel will do it. there’s probably enough space there for 5 or 6 settlements. over time it will grow, organically, into a thriving city full of happy and productive citizens, far from the den of squalor and poverty that it is now.

thantik,

Here, let’s forcefully open up Microsoft Edge regardless of what your browser is set to!

tallwookie, in How is your part of the world doing?

cant speak for the greater country but my part of it is pretty good though not so much for me personally. America, PNW.

there’s a lot more jobs here - mid 1980s was when the tech boom hit our area, but real estate prices are very high as well, ~$600k for the area, ~$800k for where I live. it’s basically unaffordable to live here unless you make 6 figures - anything less than that is struggling.

I’m working on a van build so I can move to a more favorable state as I do not make anywhere near 6 figures. got about $40k in it now and probably another $25k to go, roughly.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

I’ve hit the spacebar in Baldurs Gate 3 during combat (ends the current turn) way too many times.

Rhynoplaz, in yesterday I posted a funny picture, and without any message, it got deleted from my profile.. how censure work here?

That doesn’t sound funny at all. What’s the joke?

ooli,

the joke was the title: “the average Lemmyst” I wish I could look at it again, I should have save it somewhere

Rhynoplaz,

I don’t get it.

zeroxmr, in How is your part of the world doing?

Too young to know definitely, but America has lots of room for improvement. Least freedom for everyone I’ve ever witnessed rn

GrayBackgroundMusic, in Can anyone recommend terrible horror films?

Freddy vs Jason was billed as a horror film but it’s really funny, imo. I don’t like horror. They leaned into the cheesey bits.

@NickwithaC@lemmy.world avatar

You might like Drag Me To Hell which was also billed as a horror but was definitely a send-up.

And Happy Deathday which is a comedy-horror Groundhog Day with a little heart thrown in for good vibes.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

thanks, i’ll check them out.

HangingFruit, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?
@HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu avatar

There is a 3-2-1 tactic for backups, which should be pretty safe. Lots of articles if you search for it. Basically I backup all my data to two SSDs and one HDD. And once more to cloud, which is iCloud in my case.

AtmaJnana, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

I use Nextcloud to sync them from my phone/laptop/pc to my server then sync to my NAS, then monthly backup to a hard drive, which i rotate out off-site. In progress switching this to another NAS I store off site.
