Free and Open Source Software•Android notes app with markdown supportEnglish
3·2 months agoI thought OP meant being able to see notes arranged in a grid with text previews (á la Google Keep), rather than the usual filename list.
If it’s multitasking tiling they want, then Markor does do that, as it supports multiple windows.

7·2 months agoMarkor is, by far, the best.
They did start accepting AI-generated contributions a while ago, but the latest release (2.16.1) is still clean.
In addition to Markdown docs and to-dos, it also supports Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, ZimWiki, todo.txt, and (of course) plaintext.
However, it does not have a tiled view.

Ask UK@feddit.uk•What do you think of the violence in America? Police brutality and the surveillance state?English
2·2 months agoIn terms of violence, I think The Onion puts it best:

Arming every cop is also a uniquely terrible idea. We do have armed police in the UK, but they’re specially trained and only really brought out for exceptional cases.
In terms of surveillance, well, you’re not that much futher ahead of the rest of the world. The UK is similarly becoming a bit of a panopticon.
I get my news mostly via RSS, but I also check the headlines online and hear things through the grapevine. My main sources are:

- The i Paper
- The Herald
- 404 Media
- The Ferret
- BBC News (just for headlines)

1·2 months agoOh, so he’s not the same Rassilon that founded the Time Lords; he just has the same name?

4·2 months agoRassilon? I thought he was something else.
You see, Doctor and Master are both titles you get with degrees, but there are two more: Associate and Bachelor.
I don’t know who the Associate would be, but if anyone would carry the name, “The Bachelor”, it would be James Bond.

Buy European@feddit.uk•The Stellar Swedish VPN Service Had to Be Corrupted...English
8·3 months agoI’d say so, yes. The main differences are that the pricing is a little different ($6 per month, rather than €5), the service is based in Gibraltar (a non-UK British Overseas Territory), and it doesn’t offer as many anti-censorship features (just V2Ray over TCP or over QUIC).
Personally, I like it.

Linux@programming.dev•What's your favourite "just works, day after day" Linux software?English
3·3 months agoGNU nano.
I don’t know why I bothered using Vim, Neovim, Micro, mg, and JOE for so long, when nano was always there (though not necessarily OOTB), configurable with all of the features I used in the other editors, and has never broken as long as I’ve been using it.
The only editor I may leave it for would be Emacs, and that would be more for the extension scripts and an excuse to learn ELisp than anything else.

Not sure if this counts, but I think Wayne’s World would be even more awesome if Wayne was a butch lesbian instead of a dude.
