Mangione has not admitted to the act nor has he been convicted. He has a right to the presumption of innocence. The state must prove his guilt. Trial by public opinion in the media is not a replacement for a jury of his peers. That is an elementary democratic principle, not a conspiracy theory.
I agree that “DA says…” is equal to “alleged,” but you lost the thread with “it’s clear he shot the guy.”
Thank you for that recommendation. The video is both fascinating and hilarious!
The viol instrument family are frettless! Pick up a violin/viola/cello/bass and have fun :)
I just checked on this. Your display choices in the app are limited to light, dark and sepia. It would be nice if you could enter custom styles for display, but I don’t see that option. That might be an interesting feature to contribute—it’s FOSS!
As far as styling the converted output, it depends. You can style HTML with CSS. Pandoc has options to style other formats with custom templates.
I use Apostrophe markdown editor. It’s basically a plaintext editor with Markdown syntax highlighting and a rendered preview mode. It is the same formatting language you can use for posts and comments on Lemmy (and the other place).
Honestly, I’m just obsessed with Markdown. You can write it anywhere you can type. It’s just structured plaintext that you can easily convert to other formats (html, odf, pdf, etc.) Write it in Notepad. Use it text messages. Put it on Facebook. There is no native support for the format in any of these places, and it doesn’t matter.
I do all my writing in Markdown now. It keeps me focused on my document content and structure.
Whence cometh the experts expertise? They had to do the work to get there.
I can, and I do benefit from other people’s skills and efforts. That is the content of society.
Our culture trains us to value only the output of our work and regard the process as nothing but liability—but for the results, an abject waste of time and resources. And so, the masters of our society attempt to eliminate every expenditure that does not yield an immediate return. So they extinguish the light of human culture, which is the expression of our creative activities.
Music as magic is a wonderful motif! I saw an image post circulate that suggested using photos of orchestra conductors as visual reference for drawing spellcasters. The image spoke for itself: the degree of focused intensity and direction in their posture fits the concept perfectly.
I never really felt like the “creative” type; that was always my dad and my brother. I’ve always been more interested in the “analytical” minded subject: mathematics, natural sciences, computer programming and logic.
Ironically, my journey in music really began after I chose to cut contact with my dad, arguably the biggest musical influence in my life beginning from early childhood. I take this as spiritual validation that I made the correct choice leaving behind his narcissistic bullying and abuse.
I play a mandolin. It’s neat that it is tuned the same as a violin, because that makes the very expansive repertoire music arranged for that instrument available to me as well. I’ve been learning mainly folk music, but I may dabble in classical more as I continue.
I don’t really mean dotted notes. I am referring to the entire score of music as “dots on a page” reductively by the noteheads. The dots don’t do anything until I make them do something. I make the note longer when I hold it longer. The music doesn’t come from the page nor the instrument, but from me.

It doesn’t seem to be the case. As far as I can tell, the law only covers realistic digital imitations of a person’s likeness (deepfakes), with an exception for parody and satire. If you appear in public that is effectively license for someone to capture your image.
