Damn, that Mercator projection making A4 look almost as big as Greenland…

Lemmy uses Markdown for storing/displaying comments, specifically the CommonMark flavor with some extensions, as documented here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html
And yeah, no, that doesn’t have a way to underline,
except
maybe
one
of
these
here,
depending on the Markdown implementation in the client. Some clients might also choose to underline the highlighting, that’s normally 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤.
Links may be underlined as well.
Well, and then you’ve also got this thing, which is certainly a line under this text:
On Lemmy, we also got
strikethrough. Priorities, I guess. 🙃But yeah, no proper, consistent underlining in Markdown/Lemmy. 🥴

Oh man, I just checked what it looks like in Firefox:

I had written that comment in the Jerboa app (and fiddled with it to make it look reasonable):

when the software (in this case, lemmy’s md to html engine) tries to do the rendering instead of the browser.
And nope, in this case I added the Unicode for the underline myself. Well, I used this app. That passes straight through the MD→HTML conversion without being touched.
And it actually is rendered by the browser, but yeah, by the browser’s Unicode+font rendering, not the CSS engine. Or in case of Jerboa, by Android’s Unicode+font rendering.
Would certainly be nice, if these would look the same. 🫠
Tried it by now and I have to say, it is a lot tenser than it has any right to be…
It’s on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.sesu8642.feudaltactics
Yeah, it’s just your usual buttons:
- Bold → Fett
- Italic → Kursiv
- U͟n͟d͟e͟r͟l͟i͟n͟e͟d → U͟n͟t͟e͟r͟s͟t͟r͟i͟c͟h͟e͟n
If it’s a busy intersection, chances are you’re only allowed to cross when the cars get switched to go in parallel to you.
If it’s a normal street, but still with a high volume of pedestrians, then there’s likely a sensor to detect waiting pedestrians. Also depends on how new the traffic light installation is and how much the municipality spends on this.
I think, the sensor also allows detecting the number of pedestrians waiting, so they can speed it up.If it’s a street where pedestrians only cross sporadically or an old installation, then the button is likely to work and that you have to press it to ever be allowed to cross. Running a sensor all day just isn’t worth it.
Obviously, the specifics depend on the region, but I feel like these are rules of thumb that make sense pretty much everywhere…
Just to note 1.2g per kg per day is a highly contested number. To my knowledge, the usual recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of most countries sits at around 0.8. As it says in that link, this was the RDA in the US, too, before the Trump bros recently increased it.
And the RDA covers the needs of 97.5% of the population. So, per definition, most people need less than that.
At the same time, with an average Western diet, you can easily get 1.5g per kg bodyweight per day. There’s cases where folks can’t deal with excess protein due to a kidney failure, and actually getting them to not eat excess protein can be quite the challenge.Source for that second block is this podcast/video where a nutrition professor is interviewed: https://zoe.com/learn/podcast-should-i-eat-more-protein

“aro-ace” means “aromantic and asexual”, so not interested in relationships, dating, sex etc…
Can be general disinterest or trauma or a rational decision.
I mean, I also have some autism flavor with enhanced memory, and I don’t either remember my age most of the time. It’s just not terribly relevant information and it keeps changing every year as well. And for the few situations when I do need it, I can work it out with maths, it’s fine.

Their FAQ kind of covers this where they talk about private repos (which your homepage doesn’t have to be, but it’s still not particularly useful as an open-source project):
If you are a contributor to free/libre software projects, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Use it for your personal notes, your side project or any other you want to keep private.
And then somewhat further down:
If you do not contribute to free/libre software (or if it is limited to your personal homepage), and we feel like you only abuse Codeberg for storing your commercial projects or media backups, we might get unhappy about that.

On Monday, one of our students at $DAYJOB asked me what projects I do in my freetime. After I infodumped on her for half an hour, she asked in disbelief “And you do these in your freetime, without being paid?”.
Like, mate, did you not listen how feckin’ excited I got just then? Of course, I do these in my freetime.
To be fair, though, the last project I told her about is very dry. It’s a library to help automate CI builds. And the thing I’m thrilled to build is a compile-safe API for accessing the packages in your workspaces. Like, yeah, it does take a special kind of nerd to get excited about that…
