Over the years, WordPress started to beautify more and more text thereby malforming many (read thousands) of my older blog posts.
An example is this:
--jeroen
is now rendered as
–jeroen
The two hypen-minus signs or -- have become a en-dash or –, not even an em-dash or — that is is double the width of an en-dash.
So after figuring out the cause, I asked if one could change it for a WordPress.com blog backed by a premium account: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @wordpressdotcom, how do I globally disable wptexturize for a paid wiert.wordpress.com blog (it has Premium subscription)? Over the years, it has malformed more and more of my text which I don’t want (as it is way too much work to re-visit thousands of blog posts).”
Unbelievably, the answer is no!
So WordPress.com mandatorily changes the display of all your old Premium blog posts and the only solution they offer is to upgrade for another USD ~17 per month to disable it.

YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.
The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:
- content can be monetised
- content can arranged into lists (including Watch Later)
- auto-play can be turned off
All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.

Many Markdown documents on GitHub have three dashes (---) at the top (and rendered a horizontal table displays).
I didn’t know this markdown construct, and it appears to be GitHub specific: it is a way to render YAML metadata (for instance used while blogging).
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] three dashes table markdown – Google Search and found [Wayback/Archive] Viewing YAML Metadata in your Documents | The GitHub Blog.
Well, actually… Read the rest of this entry »

Besides the Delphi Praxis servers (the [Wayback/Archive] German one has existed for what seems eternity, the [Wayback/Archive] English one took over the Google Plus Delphi group – see Google is sunsetting Google+ by August 2019; DelphiPraxis might start English forums and have RSS – and de-facto the dead Embarcadero forums as the old newsgroup servers went dead, and the new ones weren’t known for their high up-time [Wayback/Archive] community.embarcadero.com’s forums – General Help – Delphi-PRAXiS [en]), nowadays – with the shortened attention span of many people – Discord has a few Delphi servers as well:

Since archiving Tweets has become so much harder over time, and Threadreaderapp not having the complete thread either, here are some links for your enjoyment:
