The author is completely missing the point of markdown.

"HTML can convey much richer information compared to markdown. It can of course do simple document structure like headers and formatting, but it can also represent all sorts of other information"

Yes exactly, and markdown is used when someone wants to just have raw text.

Why don't you go and watch some videos on PeerTube and see the practice for yourself?

PeerTube is built to scale, the more users the better bandwidth because you stream from peers

More money is not the problem, Firefox receives 600+ million USD per year. Is how they waste the money and going back on their pledges and what Mozilla stood for

At the end of the article the author seems resigned and that it seems impossible to bring this to the end user. I don't understand why? Why can't this be a keyboard that I can switch to, like I'm able to switch from Samsung keyboard to Google keyboard? Or like an accessibility app?

New comment by MavropaliasG in "LastPass: ‘Horse Gone Barn Bolted’ Is Strong Password"

MavropaliasG — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 02:22:00 +0000

Can someone explain to me what is the advantage of using something like LastPass over simply the in-built password manager that Firefox or other browsers have? I know that LastPass can be used for desktop applications too, but if you are only using a password for the web, is LastPass offering anything more than the in-built browser password manager?

Most well-documented pharmacological intervention to increase lifespan in aspirin. The most well-documented non-pharmacological is caloric restriction (with some evidence showing protein restriction).

The article is very badly written. Better to read the abstract.

That's the kind of garbage results you get when you run a study with only 20 participants. Also they changed to both mediterranean and ketogenic? Wtf
