@realcaseyrollins Cool, now what are you expecting to happen in 2026?

Expecting a comet or meteor strike?

🇬🇧 MarkDown language is a simplified form of creating a variety of text styles. Bold, Italicized, Underline, Header (text) sizes, all in much shorter and easier commands than classic HTML Markup language.

Note the name, a play on the HTML variant.

If you speak Spanish, there are LESS resources to learn about this and other tech topics.

Found a Blog post here that explains the Basics, in Spanish, and links to another site with an interactive tutorial.

🇪🇸 El lenguaje MarkDown es una forma simplificada de crear una variedad de estilos de texto. Tamaños en negrita, en cursiva, subrayado, encabezado (texto), todo en comandos mucho más cortos y fáciles que el lenguaje de marcado HTML clásico.

Anote el nombre, una reproducción en la variante HTML.

Si habla español, hay menos recursos para aprender sobre este y otros temas tecnológicos.

Encontramos una entrada de blog aquí que explica los conceptos básicos, en español, y enlaces a otro sitio con un tutorial interactivo.

@victorhck Gracias, Victor!

@onatinadresi Excellent.

For those joining or curious about this thread, the lady is a great brazilian Singer.

more info on her About page on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1C8UBSZs5rOPfxuxTMS6OI/about

@onatinadresi She's wonderful indeed. 😺

I could post some of my cool playlists for Bossa Nova and classic MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira), most of it from 60s and 70s vintage.

Best music everywhere seem to have been created in those decades, it's been downhill lately in music scene. Crap abounds.

@onatinadresi A free account there will allow listening to it, although some ads ocassionaly.

Or find it elsewhere, I think you will enjoy her.

@onatinadresi Yes, she was a great singer. Have you heard her daughter singing? Maria Rita, she has albums on Spotify, and is amazingly like Elis.

We were discussing this the other day.

Found in the #fediverse, and I agree.

@realcaseyrollins Wow, that's a long time. Snow fall delays?

@onatinadresi Ah, I see, I find it really interesting that you like the language so much. 😃

The Brazilian spoken version also has some huge variation depending on which region of the country the speaker was from originally.

South is the most European culture part, I hail from there.

@onatinadresi I have an account at a Portuguese speaking instance, but it's low posting volume there, sadly.

would be nice to practice, good for the soul.

Also waiting for a reply from another instance, located in Brazil, and with a more restricted intake due to their server loads.

@onatinadresi I do like it too, do you speak Portuguese?

I have seen some of your newsposts and they seemed to be in Turkish, no?

@realcaseyrollins Yes, sounds like it. Good luck, and a more responsive staff place is a better home to be in.

@realcaseyrollins Christian instance, why wouldn't they welcome you? 😔

@realcaseyrollins No reply from theres.life?

@freemo Wonderful! Nice to finish the day on a high note like that.

@onatinadresi Good guess, I was born there. But I was talking about Canada, where I have lived for many years.

We are 1 tenth of their population and economy size. Pretty hard on our local culture, although Canadians take great pride in not being Americans. 😉

Then you see the stories about American backpackers, sewing a Canadian flag to their packs, as a measure of avoiding some resentment while traveling overseas.

@onatinadresi They are a different bunch, I agree.

I am culturally much more European fan, although I do live in a country near their borders.
We do get a wash of their media, incessant and brain washing people here too.

@onatinadresi It is possible, yes.

The main problem is the nuance on the notion of 'free speech'.

American interpretation, imo as an outside observer is that all is justified, in the name of it.

Including behaviour and speech that other societies frown upon.

For many people in those other societies, me included, respect for other human beings should be upmost, and free speech shouldn't be an excuse for boorish behaviour.

There are big cultural differences at play, and a national concept in one place does not apply to other locales and cultures.

@realcaseyrollins I loved it too.

LOL, we were all excited about it. See the whole convo here. _https://hackers.town/@c0debabe/103302645441383764_
