You need a local webserver. Or bundle everything in one html file.

So that's why I have to keep booting a Windows 7 computer in order to use an html file I saved 10+ years ago? Some dumb shit android app.

A more intuitive norm, used in other formats, would have been :

*bold*

/italics/

_underline_

That's exactly what we used in on usenet (except,without rendering unless you were using a nice GUI reader, not just tin/rtin)

The problem is that that's too many characters to reserve (they all have to be escaped when you want the actual character) making the resulting text look awful in plain text mode.

They are not reserved characters. They only express a special format when used in that way : a space on its left, and a character stuck to its right AND somewhere down the road : its twin with a character stuck to its left and a space on its right. I built an editor doing just that more than two decades ago, and it works fine.

So *this* and /that/ express formatting, but not 4 * 5 nor 4*5 nor 4/5 nor m/s.

  +strikeout+

  ~code/monospace~

  _subscript

  * Heading
  ** Heading 2
  ** Heading 3
     - bullet
     - [1/2] checklist summary
       - [ ] unchecked item
       - [X] checked item

And so much more...

I see you, mlok, you fellow person of culture :)

no-no-no

-strikeout-

`code`

and bloody leave "-" as a dash. I so hate that it gets transformed into a dot for "bullet enthusiasts"

The two previous comments in this thread are referencing Emacs Org mode's markup syntax.

Lots of geeks regularly talk about storing configuration files under /etc/.

Maybe "juice" ? "Soy juice" and "Oat juice" sound pretty good to me.

On the "Soy milk" wikipedia page, it is said that Germany and Italy use names like "soy drink" or "soy beverage".

OKRainbowKid · 2025-12-23T11:25:57 1766489157

It is much closer in taste and use to milk than it is to juice.

"While the assets in question were patched out, it still goes against the regulations we have in place. As a result, the IGAs nomination committee has agreed to officially retract both the Debut Game and Game of the Year awards"

Looks like "regulations nitpicking". In the end it doesn't represent the players best interests.

True. And that's also a reason why "Javascript" is more human friendly tbh.

recursive · 2025-12-04T17:25:35 1764869135

One reason it's less friendly is that lots people think it has anything to do with java.

I just love cycling in Paris (apart from winter...) the experience is amazing, and the city is beautiful. It's a joy to experience the city this way.

Both bicycles & free transports would be even better !

Ok you don't like dark mode.

I love dark mode, and I don't like light mode. Everything is dark mode on my machines, day and night.

I find it stupid to have so much light beamed into my face, and I prefer to only light up the useful signal. The letters and numbers, and graphs. The 99% of background is of no interest and as such it doesn't need to send light to my face.
