    wireless not wirefree

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

    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

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

    I know. Underscores also work though for italics

    That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    There's a bit in 'deadpool and wolverine' where they're in the multidimensional junkyard and characters from marvel properties with aborted film projects also end up there. So like 'blade', and the various attempted 'fantastic four' movies.

    Can't believe I forgot about that. Best Blade movie since the original.

    I actually quite liked all of them to some degree. I even enjoyed the awful CGI rubber ninjas fight scene; I know the movement was unrealistic but I was young enough that I figured it was superhuman vampire flexibility. However, I agree that the first one was the best.

    Trinity was my second introduction to Ryan Reynolds, so that helped some. (I'm pretty sure I first saw him in Van Wilder.) Also Wesley Snipes saying "gootchie goo" to a baby was pretty hilarious, though reflecting on that I'm not sure they ever explained how he got that child back to its mother.

    Also, I think Natasha Lyonne was in that. I knew I recognized her when my wife started watching OitNB, but it took me forever to figure out why.

    Well, I guess I'm about to watch Blade 3 again.

    The "rubber ninjas" instantly ruined the film for me. That scene is seared into my memory, and takes second place after the entirety of The Phantom Menace for film betrayal.

    Like I mentioned, I honestly kind of enjoyed it as I was able to explain away the lack of reality. What really bothered me was, I think right before it, Whistler comes out with some sort of big firearm, then just stands there while a ninja knocks it out of his hands and slaps him in the face.

    Again, I explained it away to myself (vampire ninja has superspeed, standing still was just meant to demonstrate that) but, even if that was what was intended, it just wasn't very well done.

    how does serverless architecture work?

    True serverless architecture doesn't.

    It's the computers that cause all the trouble after all.

    They kinda do? In that there are distributed protocols where there's no distinction between a server and a host, but that kind of software doesn't optimize for mobile use well and the growth model tends to be more linear than the geometric scaling afforded to centralized services. =/
