@yosh But what kind of pickles is your favorite? On my parents farm we have made pickled plums a couple of times which are pretty nice.
We also one had some pickled "asier"* which took long while to go through, but they go well with a lot of Danish dishes.
*That is the Danish name, no idea what they are called in English, but I am pretty sure that Google Translates "pickled asians" is incorrect. It is a sort of large cucumber that is not great to eat so you pickle it.

@foone I have selectric-mode for my Emacs to make it sound like a Selectric typewriter

@charlotte Which even more implies it to be UX, if you want people to change how they do things you will need to tell them in some way. It is neither scalable or nice to be told by other users that your post is wrong because it uses non-canonical links. Which is why I think it should be done sooner.

@charlotte That implies that it is a UX issue more than anything else. I don't think it is a good idea to blame users who may not be used to using the app for issues like these. Since doing so will probably not lead to any improvements for the UX.
How to solve this is a good way is probably another issue, what could you do? Warn users if they try to post a non-canonical link or something?

@luna I remember that I once saw that the media format from it got supported in FFMPEG which I found pretty interesting.

@ekuber @GregMorenz A nice blog that talks a bit about this https://danluu.com/in-house/
They not only had tech debt, but they also had people that really understood the stack.
This is a bit akin to how Netflix knows FreeBSD well enough to tune it to extreme throughput. They could likely do the same with Linux, but FreeBSD is the stack they know. Twitter knew their stack well it is rare that it went down for the past few years

@LunaFoxgirlVT Han er så klog at han kunne undvære hovedet og så ville det pynte
Et ordsprog som desværrer ikke findes på Englsk så vidt jeg ved.

@luna Match was one of the reasons I looked into Rust in the first place, before my main language had been F# and I was just missing being able to match everything.

re: Missing media descriptions

@fasterthanlime @Toasterson One issue I am running into with the VSCode way is that it only works on platforms supported by Microsoft. For example it does not work at all if you want to edit something on a FreeBSD server.
A different way is the one taken by emacs with its tramp mode which does the communication over ssh, (or a number of other protocols) but allows you edit it locally. It even makes it possible to run LSP on the server. And does not really expect much other than ssh and scp works.

(for a while I even had a FreeBSD server running LSP and a Linux client and that somehow worked.)
