I don’t understand why there isn’t a “markdown library” of some sort that software developers can just use in their app. I haven’t looked too deep into this, but it has always seemed to me that every app must individually implement markdown display. Why?

JackbyDev ,

There are Markdown libraries. Many have small differences and many apps have their own custom additions though.

Huschke ,

The problem isn’t that there are no libraries out there that parse Markdown. There are, in fact, plenty for all different languages. The issue is that every site has its own flavor of it. Lemmy does it one way, GitHub another, and something else does it completely differently yet again.

It is, unfortunately, kind of a mess.

echodot ,

Because markdown has committed the worst of old programming sins. It has no standard.

However I’m pretty sure that Lemmy has a standard so there’s not really much excuse.

Funny how the competition between charger standards in the alt text was eventually solved with, you guessed it, another standard, called USB-C.

echodot ,

I am fairly sure that the comic isn’t that old. So I think usb-c is what it’s alluding to.

threelonmusketeers ,

that the comic isn’t that old

That comic recently became a teenager. The first USB-C specifications weren’t published until 2014.

Lol. I wish XKCD showed date published.

threelonmusketeers ,

Explain xkcd shows the date published: 2011-07-20

The comic is now a teenager.

P.S. Pedantic rule on the capitalization of xkcd:

The preferred form is “xkcd”, all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn’t start a sentence, “XKCD” is an okay alternative. “Xkcd” is frowned upon.

Croquette ,

Isn’t the base markdown standardized?

It’s just that so many flavors advertise themselves as markdown+ flavor?

brian ,

only sort of.

this is the original document defining markdown, and you’ll notice it doesn’t really specify a lot of the things that have compatibility issues across different markdown processors, along with allowing arbitrary html which really depends on where you’re showing it. There’s a list of ambiguous syntax here.

CommonMark is as close to a standard as we have.

Croquette ,

Thanks for the info. I thought that markdownguide.org was the standard as explained in your link from the creator.

By using what is described in markdownguide, I’ve never encountered any issue with any markdown compatible text editor.

@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Lemmy documentation references CommonMark so I’m assuming that is the accepted standard, plus a few Lemmy specific things.

Socket scientist here:

Nuclear power relies on advanced Quantum Radiative Containment (QRC) technology. This system employs nano-level Radiation Inversion Fields (RIFs) embedded within the socket’s structure. These RIFs manipulate subatomic particles to create a hyper-dense energy shield, effectively trapping the radiation.

Additionally, the sockets are coated with Neutrino-Absorbent Polymer (NAP), a material that converts stray radioactive emissions into harmless bioluminescent particles. This process is facilitated by micro-scale Atomic Resonance Amplifiers (ARAs), which synchronize the radiation’s wavelength with the Earth’s magnetic frequencies, ensuring zero leakage.

Sounds like a skill and/or distro issue

Aoife ,

Your OS being the cause of massive problems running common programs should not be something you have to have the skills to fix in the first place. And distro issue? How the hell are you even supposed to pick a distro when if you ask 10 linux users what distro you should use you’ll get 11 different answers? Sure, you could just try them all, but it takes a long time to evaluate an OS, plus just making sure that all the programs you want to run don’t just shit themselves.

Vivendi ,

Programs not designed for Linux somehow manage to run on a completely different operating system through something I can only explain as fucking technological black magic, and you’re wondering that it doesn’t work quite like it’s native environment? The fact that this is even possible is incredible

Go make the game devs release a proper Linux version and we won’t have those issues anymore

balder1993 ,

You’re right, but that’s not the point. The other poster said it’s a skill issue. Sure, if the person can’t run commands in a terminal or doesn’t know what’s an executable that’s a skill issue.

Getting stuck because the game is having weird glitches that show off once in a while and you need classes on computer graphics to debug isn’t skill issues imo. Otherwise are all gonna establish that Linux isn’t for non programmers then?

Linus_Torvalds ,

Rather skill than distro

You should try Vrising. It’s more modern ARPG.

You are not bound to a playstyle for hundred of hours. Loot is based on challenges solved. It’s using your brain skills…

I started on jerboa, but ended up moving to connect because of the bugs.

Plopp ,

What bugs?

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

This was over a year ago now Jerboa may well be in a better state now. I can’t remember specific bugs but they were frequent and serious enough to frustrate me, a professional software tester, enough to move to a different app.

schwoens , to linux in Switching back to Windows. For now.

I personally dual boot windows and linux precisely because gaming can be frustrating on linux sometimes. I use windows exclusively for gaming and linux for everything else. I have plans to try and game on linux again sometime though. Maybe one day the experience will be good enough to ditch windows altogether. (Hopefully before the end of Windows 10 Support)

90s_hacker , to asklemmy in What is an event that altered you in some way?

Reading the manga she likes homos not me. It’s about this gay highschool student who wants to live a “normal” life so he hides his sexuality from his family and friends. The manga was absolutely heartbreaking and it was my first encounter with the shit people go through for being different and it made me realize that gay people are just people too, which should be obvious but I’m from a country where homophobia is normalized and even encouraged. I started thinking more after that and I guess that’s when it clicked to me really that everybody deserves love.

cashmaggot OP ,

Yeah, it's mad crazy how normalized homophobia is in a lot of cultures. I once saw some well of folks complaining that we don't need Pride anymore. And while they were having fun stroking each other's egos they seemed to have missed the mark that there are people losing their lives and homes over this stuff to this day. So eh. But it's beauitufl, those moments when you see people are people are people.

MoonMelon ,

For me this was Stone Butch Blues.

cashmaggot OP ,

Yo, that lady lived out where I lived out of. My ex and I would walk to her place and look up. She's why all I classified my gender identity as dyke for the longest. Because I didn't really fit either side of the coin, nor feel either which way. While I have met people who are the way she is (that whole stone butch thing) really at the end of the day if she was born today she'd probably either just end up being like me or just straight up trans-masc. Awesome drop though =)

Ilandar , to linux in Switching back to Windows. For now.

I get it, the problem solving can be really frustrating when you just want to relax and play some games in your limited free time. Personally I just installed Linux on a secondary drive and switch to Windows during startup for the games that don’t work well with Linux (usually multiplayer games with anti-cheat). I still use Linux as my main OS since gaming is not what I spend the majority of my time doing.
