#Markdown support for composing a post in #Mastodon is the Duke Nukem Forever of the #Fediverse

#SarcasmButOnlyHalf

Just **testing** if [Mastodon 4.6](https://joinmastodon.org) has added a tiny bit of #Markdown support when composing a post. `Nope.` Well. Maybe next year :)

Gut feeling confirmed. I hear from more developers that are experimenting/working with LLMs (Large Language Models) that they are moving towards the direction I expected.

Locally running "dumb" (as in: small) models that are often combined with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pointing at local code or doc collections. This approach is lightweight and delivers acceptable results. This domain specific approach results in far less "hallucinations" and respects privacy.

Thank you, @nprofile1q... for all your work on #lvfs and fwupdmgr. Thank you, Lenovo, for supporting firmware and UEFI updates through this mechanism. And thank you, Red Hat, for making all of this readily usable. All my Lenovo Tiny PCs in my homelab are now up2date and can continue to SecureBoot for years to come :)

In einer Parallelwelt ist Deutschland dank kluger Politik nach China die Nummer 2 im Export von Solarpanels und unbestritten die Nummer 1 auf dem Weltmarkt für Wärmepumpen und Geothermie. Der Rest der Welt staunt wie wir es geschafft haben unser Stromnetz zu dezentralisieren und dank hocheffektiver Generatoren wieder tausende kleine Wasserkraftwerke haben. Das Förderprogramm "Batterie statt Öltank" war dafür elementar wichtig. Haushaltsstrom gibt es mittlerweile als Flatrate.

I have 100 post-its in blue and I signed and numbered them all. I claim they are worth $10M each and my best buddy agrees. He also found investors that have bought one post-it, I gave them a discount of 90%, so they paid me $1M. I can now claim I’m a billionaire. I don’t plan to sell any of the 99 remaining post-its. I will use them as collateral for loans. My name is Elon Musk jr.

@nprofile1q... lieber REWE in Trudering, Rinderhack in der 400g Packung wo früher 500g reingingen ist das Eine. Aber dann €25,30/Kilo aufzurufen — das ist dann doch etwas viel. Heute gibt‘s Gemüsepfanne ohne Fleisch :)

Trumps USA: Evil EU bureaucrats stand in the way of our wonderful Big Tech AI and we will force them to open all markets for our Big Tech!1!!

Also Trumps USA: No foreigner is allowed to use this specific AI from our wonderful Big Tech AI and pray we don't add more to that embargo list!1!!
