Thoughts On Markdown.
Markdown in all its flavors, interpretations, and forks won’t go away. I suspect that plain text files will always have a place in developers’ note apps, blogs, docs, and digital gardens. As a writer who has used markdown for almost two decades, I’ve become accustomed to “markdown shortcuts” that are available in many rich text editors and am frequently stumped from Google Docs’ lack of markdownisms. But I’m not sure if the next generation of content creators and even developers will be as bought in on markdown, and nor should they have to be.
A-Z List of Monoecious and Dioecious Trees.
The majority of plants shrubs and trees 43% are in fact Monoecious (translated as single house), meaning that they are able to complete the entire reproductive process from within a single plant and do not require any form of pollination from another plant.
Subresource Integrity (SRI) Hash Generator.
SRI is a new W3C specification that allows web developers to ensure that resources hosted on third-party servers have not been tampered with. Use of SRI is recommended as a best-practice, whenever libraries are loaded from a third-party source.
Barbi Marković präsentiert ihre Lieblingssongs.
»Die verschissene Zeit« habe ich Gerlinde noch vorgelesen als sie zuletzt auf der Palliativstation lag. Es ist so lustig und so schön, Barbi Marković schreibt so wie sie sich in dem (leider nicht mehr verfügbaren) Beitrag anhört. Sehr sympathisch. Wir haben viel gelacht, und wollten auch noch das Rollenspiel ausprobieren. Das wurde dann ja nichts mehr. Wir atmen ein, wir atmen aus.
Web3 Is Going Just Great.
...and is definitely not an enormous grift that's pouring lighter fluid on our already smoldering planet.
Relevant: “Cryptocurrencies' roots lie deep in the libertarian culture of Silicon Valley and the cypherpunks. Libertarianism's attraction is based on ignoring externalities, and cryptocurrencies are no exception.”
So. Much. Good. Reads.

Memento Mori.
This 1997 Line-up at Luton Hoo would still be a block buster today.
My big sister and I have been there. I was so keen to see a Kraftwerk gig, one of their rare concerts at the time. We agreed upon meeting “at the entrace of the Tower” (!) around noon (!!), and of course I totally miscalculated the transfer from Stansted to the city. And no mobile phones (!!!), not even dumb ones. Milli ran in circles because she was afraid to miss me. But eventually there i was, just a few hours late. The next step in our non-existing plan consisted of finding a hotel which was almost impossible, and we somehow ended up in the typical London hostel with tight staircase, stained carpet, windowless room and creaking bed. Not to mention the breakfast. Regarding the Tribal Gathering, I missed all the other cool stuff (which I only found out about in hindsight). We were pretty cold even though we bought a pink fleece blanket for an arm and a leg, while the locals jumped around in shorts and bikinis. Classy. On Sunday morning the trains did not depart before 9am or the like, I wanted to take a Taxi, you refused, so we loitered at the station after a sleepless, chilling night, and somehow we made it back to the hostel. I wish I could tell you one last time how great this was. Thank you for being there.
