wireless not wirefree

Edit: apparently Voyager doesn't do underscores for italic?

_ It works on my end (without leading and trailing spaces) _ -> It works on my end (without leading and trailing spaces)

[-] exu@feditown.com 7 points 4 days ago

Looks like it's specifically when an underscore follows a normal letter instead of whitespace. Not sure if that's as intended by the markdown spec, incorrect in Voyager or unspecifed

With underscores:

normal_italics_ normal italics

With asterisks:

normalitalics normal italics

That's almost certainly intended behavior, otherwise any underscore would trigger formatting (much like the asterisk does instead of allowing snake_case_naming

[-] black0ut@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

The markdown specification recommends using asterisks specifically for that. It is not exactly intended, but left to the interpreter. Most markdown interpreters leave the underscores intact if they're inside a word.

You can escape formatting characters with a leading backslash.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

markdown uses asterisks for italics.
2 asterisks is bold
3 is italic and bold

[-] exu@feditown.com 3 points 3 days ago

I know. Underscores also work though for italics

[-] poolcritter@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

Underscores do not work inside a word (so my_long_identifier won't accidentally become mylongidentifier, but _foo_ will become foo)

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 days ago

That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown

[-] exu@feditown.com 5 points 3 days ago
[-] filcuk@feddit.uk 0 points 3 days ago

Markdown has a core spec and then endless flavours. I assume what they're saying Lemmy chose to not use underscore markup.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

This used to be a trouble back in the reddit days as well. It depends entirely on what platform you're using to access the content.

Boost for example does seem to allow underscores however when I check via the web it doesn't work.

[-] moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

The italics show up for me fine, so they're getting through!

You mean the other way around, right? Marketing ---> looks inside ---> scam

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Deceptive marketing and scams are interchangeable because they're the same thing—the direction doesn't matter. I put scam first because it was in the previous commment.

[-] AliOski@feddit.nl 3 points 3 days ago

Makes sense

Btw, do you still need help with your Microsoft account? I offer the service for free. But I do need your credit card information. For identification purposes.

Marketing -> looks inside -> scam -> looks inside -> marketing -> looks inside -> scam

OnlyFans doesn't even sell fans.

It turned into a heated argument with a manager who, in the middle of project she complains is "taking too long" (despite constant scope creep, moving targets of adding stuff and changing expectations)...she walks up to my desk with her home modem/router she got from ISP. She kept saying it's "wireless" but didn't understand that 1. You still needed to plug the coax into the wall and 2. YOU STILL NEEDED TO PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE FUCKING WALL
