Umm… I don’t know what happened, exactly. When I first clicked the link to get a bigger picture, I somehow ended up on imgur, which only had a very low-resolution version. I could only find the big picture in the linked reddit, so I posted it.

I cannot reproduce this issue anymore, so I removed my comment.

Maybe start rendering pages right?

The long ‘island’ north of Iceland and the long island to the left are probably the inhabited parts of Greenland. The north of Canada and the North of Russia seem to be very sparsely populated, too. So are the arid regions of Africa and Saudi-Arabia. According to my interpretation of this map.

Interesting.

Not
in
markdown

(Pressed Shift+Return after every word.)

Not in markdown.

But it works in other word processors (like Word, libreoffice) that distinguish between line breaks and paragraph breaks.

Example: Type

Once upon a midnight dreary  
While I was pondering, weak and weary  
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore  

To get:

Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

(You can highlight the source code to find the extra spaces at the end of each line). Note that this is different from paragraphs, which add spacing between them:

Once upon a midnight dreary

While I was pondering, weak and weary

Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

Once upon a midnight dreary

While I was pondering, weak and weary

Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

This is how markdown works. There is no way to disable that. This is an old convention from when text editors didn’t wrap lines automatically and enables you to write long paragraphs of text, breaking the lines as it makes sense to you, without creating a paragraph each time.

See the Lemmy help page on markdown or the Markdown Guide.

FYI: ſ is not a strangely written f, but an s. Tabulanouarum insularum.

open a terminal and paste the following command.

Exactly the advice no-one who is technically literate enough to try Linux will ever follow. “Just execute this random code you don’t understand. Trust me.”

Have you ever had to fix anything on Linux? Even asking for help on any forum gets you the response “paste this in your terminal and give us the result”.

maybe everyone here is just a rude little shit.

Or maybe you’re just a snowflake that can’t handle criticism.

Is this not rude:

I checked the code and I’m appalled. There are more BLOBs than source code

No. The commenter is voicing their own feelings and explains why they have them. There is neither blaming nor rudeness here.

And this:

I understand that removing BLOBs isn’t a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

It would have been nice if you had explained why you think this is rude. The author expresses understanding that the maintainers’ priorities don’t align with the author’s. This seems to be an uncontroversial statement to me.

Then the author explains (I agree, it’s more a hint than an explanation) why they think the priorities should be changed. In my view their argument is sound. Again, there is no blaming or rudeness here.

They should have opened with a complement

I assume you mean “compliment”.

I’ve often heard of the “sandwich technique” – start with a compliment, then voice criticism, end with another positive thing. I find this is an appropriate procedure when voicing open feedback, that is, good things and bad things. However, this is a Github issue. Its whole point is to point out a perceived problem, not to give the maintainers a pat on the back or thank them.

I cannot fathom what in this issue description gives rise to your concern. It’s worded very calmly, clearly explaining why the author thinks these BLOBs shouldn’t be there, expressing an understanding that it’s not a top priority and even closing with a thank you.

duh? One is a completely passive ‘experience’, while the other is more akin to a hobby: You perform an action, gain a skill and overcome obstacles that become more and more difficult.

Aww. I confused “communities” for “instances” when I read the title. Thanks for pointing it out.

Your data quality is questionable. You list only 2 communities for feddit.org. Lemmy Explorer has 148. I doubt that they’re all ‘suspicious’. And if they are, then that flag is itself suspicious.

Please avoid any and all situations in which you might have the chance of handling any kind of categorized data, for the sake of all of us.

Mileage may vary. I got a Bachelor’s and while it makes the job hunt easier, mine didn’t actually teach me to code.
