With markup I think of things like HTML and XML, markdown I think of things like * for bullet-point. I might be wrong
Sep 3, 2021 20:17
It's not markup but markdown btw.
Sep 3, 2021 20:15
For me it is more a control and fine-tuning thing + that it works very well. All OK for newbies, but from my experience people learn from the start or one comment or two. The rich editor thing is a Frontpage resurrection. Any human able to compose a question is able to learn the simple markdown. It does not take much.

Have not bothered debugging it in dev-tools as I thought it might be a common thing.
Sep 3, 2021 20:03
@KevinB Yes, that was what I thought, but again wondered if there perhaps was something form the horrendous (no offense intended, but personal opinion 😅) alpha thing bleeding trough.

markdown

Thought the edit area was simply treated as a html textarea. Is there some JS jumble going on here?

I.e. If I use down arrow from line 1. it land on line 3. If I use up arrow on line 3 I land on line 1.
Sep 3, 2021 19:55
Curious as to this: Have noticed lately that if I add for example 3 lines and use up/down arrow it is very hard to land on the middle line. It is very frustrating in the moment as I can not add a new paragraph between two others without doing a big dance with adding lines, deleting lines text, etc.

Was only expanding on the topic about screen capturing at the time. Sorry for the noise.
Aug 27, 2021 22:15
@Rob I was merely talking more in general about screen-shot tools.
Aug 25, 2021 19:51
@Luuklag Nice. Have to test it out. The "Powerful editors" is the biggest pt from what I have (though it would be simple enough to incorporate in my script as well). IIRC I found that best for met is silent save as it's only 1 in 50 times I actually edit the picture.
Aug 25, 2021 19:44
I'm always up for good alternatives. The way I use it is PrintScr => Save entire desktop and save as picture, Shift+PrintScr => Get selection tool on mouse, save as area, Ctrl+PrintScr => Save desktop + copy to clipboard, Ctrl+Shift+PrintScr => Get selection, save as file + copy to clipboard. Alt+PrintScr => Window to saved file, Alt+Ctrl+PrintScr => Window saved as file + picture copied to clipboard.

@Rob That's geared towards sharing sites? I use gnome-screenshot (on KDE none the less) as it has proven to be good (and I came from GNOME).
Aug 25, 2021 19:32
One could do trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop but then you have to a bit more geeky in regards to selection of area.
Aug 25, 2021 19:25
That is the GUI. Simply resize and / or move to desired spot and record.

It's a really nice piece of software.
Aug 25, 2021 19:23
Perhaps because I'm on 18.04 and X. apt-cache show peek , dpkg -l peek - but, as said, if on Wayland perhaps moot.
Aug 25, 2021 19:17
X11 ftw :D
Aug 25, 2021 19:17
Unless you are on Wayland of course, in which case I doubt it is usable.
Aug 25, 2021 19:14
darn. These scroll gifs are annoying lol.
Aug 25, 2021 19:12
But in my case also in apt

Aug 25, 2021 18:50
Nice. So my home made drone warning system made form old micro waves is good going.
Aug 25, 2021 18:47
Does unshielded magnetron count?
Aug 25, 2021 18:44
Biggest issue is when someone past a transparent picture with black text (pixels) - they do not render well.
Aug 25, 2021 18:44
termbin.com/5ocd , makes for some quirky pictures and colors in various places - but works for my use :P
Aug 25, 2021 18:41
I have dark-mode enabled on various sites using a very simple filter CSS. (Only) issue is the breaking of positioning.
Aug 25, 2021 18:40
Aug 25, 2021 18:37
Because of sticky
Aug 25, 2021 18:36
I read “rearguing” as “regurgitating” - sigh
Aug 25, 2021 18:34
I'm fatigued as of late as well - so that does not help when trying to rationalize heh.
Aug 25, 2021 18:33
tbh. I also do not care about the rationale behind why - only that there is a lot of various reasons, and I try not to judge as long as it is not spying. That said I also think protecting against tracking is important. I also see the point of enabling bad patterns trough enabling, - but in a compromise like way lower granularity I think it a lot of it would be eliminated anyway. A problem with the issue is that there are so many special cases that are hard to generalize.
Aug 25, 2021 18:04
@KevinB Yes. At the time of posting it was part of the make it light thought.
Aug 25, 2021 18:01
It feels like a to late, let it be, thing.
Aug 25, 2021 18:01
OK. So I feel like I made a boo boo in meta.stackexchange.com/q/368870/497683 - at the time of posting I meant for it to be lightweight and somewhat humorous in tone, but reading it now it does just look messy. In part the entire Conspiracy theory part does not come across as intended heh. But, as I see it, it is not much I can do about it at this stage. Just leave it?

Is the beta «Stack editor» only a test and see, or planned to be implemented? Tested it for a few seconds, but ouch. Nope :D
