  • Just want to plug markdown as a phenomenal resource. You can use it to write documentation both online and offline, and with pandoc you can even use it to create beautiful PDF documents from your computer. Here’s some places I use markdown daily, some additional resources, and tips

    • GitHub parses markdown files from their web UI by default
    • Obsidian uses markdown for their note taking application
    • Pandoc can convert Markdown files to other formats including PDF
    • Because it’s plaintext, there are fewer formatting errors when moving between applications and you don’t even need an application to read them
    • Plaintext also means documents can be easily tracked via source control
    • Lemmy and Reddit both use Markdown
    • Discord uses a variation of Markdown

  • Can you give an example of websites not supporting Firefox?

    From a personal use perspective, I have rarely encountered sites that do not work on Firefox, especially in recent years. Two years ago I may have needed to keep a Chromium browser around but recently I have had no issues.

    And from a professional perspective, dropping support for Firefox would be asinine. Most modern web frameworks handle browser compatibility for you, and you essentially get it for free these days. It is almost no extra effort to be compatible to all modern browsers, so why stop? Firefox is has great browser support in general and is far better than the current state of Safari

    I agree that they don’t have a device which they can use to force or promote their browser like other companies can. Which is a shame and is why they should perhaps try to advertise more aggressively. However, it’s a free, open source browser, I don’t really want them to advertise or be profit driven
