Among today’s links are markdown editors Upnote, Seychl, HedgeDoc and Apostrophe. Plus we look at Deckless, a markdown to slide presentation tool that turns its back on the world of proprietary formats, and DokuWiki, which is going native on us by introducing markdown support

Flight mode, disabling the touchpad and putting #Apostrophe in full screen turns any laptop into a wonderful #WriterDeck for an extra charge of $0.

Bel échange autour des différents logiciels libres, et services en ligne qui s'y raccrochent, que nous utilisons !
Toujours en cours : je n'ose couper la discussion pour lancer l'apéro partagé !

Même @ThierryStoehr a été mentionné, alors qu'il n'est ni un #LogicielLibre, ni un #FormatOuvert ! 😜

Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

Anybody know a trusted script¹ or extention² to automatically replace "smart" (aka "curly") quotation marks and apostrophes with straight ones?

• Double quotation marks -- replacing “ and ” with ".
• Single quotation marks -- replacing ‘ and ’ with '.
• Apostrophe - replacing ’ with '.

Genuinely asking, but no reply guys please 🫶

Thanks 🩷

Edit: Apologies for any confusion caused. We're looking only for something basic and trusted that can replace certain characters or text strings with another. So long as we can easily configure it to replace the above, it doesn't matter if it's a more-general script or extension for replacing text.

Edit 2: We found an extention that could automagically do it for us. It's called FoxReplace. Took us a few moments to work out how it worked, but we ended up creating a rule for text only (ignoring URLs) to apply the desired substitutions automatically to the text output on any rendered web page on a page load/reload.

¹ Compatible with violentmonkey.
² Compatible with Firefox or Firefox-based browsers.

Punkt MC03 smartphone with privacy-focused OS coming this spring for $699

The Punkt MC03 is a smartphone with a 6.67 inch, 2436 x 1080 pixel, 120 Hz OLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, 8GB of RAM, plus a few features you don’t often find on modern smartphones including a user-replaceable battery and a microSD card reader.

But what really makes this phone unusual is its software. Like the 2023 Punkt MC02, the new phone ships with an Android-based […]

In the conventional spelling, "drinks cabinet", "drinks" is used attributively; there's no need to invoke the possessive case. But you do see occasional variation with compounds like this

I understand the motivation for this apostrophe, but I do not share it.

I don't think any punctuation marks need protecting, by the way. The Apostrophe Protection Society, for example, is a dogmatic organisation with an appetite for shaming people and no apparent understanding of the apostrophe's diverse history and continuing mutability.

Punctuation patterns ebb and flow and change with the times. If people see the need for a particular mark, they'll keep using it.

Des 3 applications modernes installées, je n'en ai gardé qu'une seule :

• #EarTag, parce qu'elle est élégante oui mais fort utile et n'a plus d'équivalent dans les repo

Sinon :

• #Music a viré, je garde #Rhythmbox C'est old school mais au moins il occupe pas 1 Go de ram à chaque fois qu'il se lance
• Exit aussi #Apostrophe qui ne fait pas grand chose de plus que ce qu'on peut faire avec #Gedit

Nouvelle tentative sans doute dans 6 mois

Jouer avec le symbole "apostrophe" et son anagramme.
