top 5 unsolved problems in computer science

That would be cool, but human brains are weirdos. If you're already copying text, you could've edited or annotated it, for example. For example, if it's an opinion you don't entirely agree with, you might feel obliged to say so, because you have the ability to do so when it's a text post.
If you want to call that irrational, I'm not arguing against that. I'm just saying it's the reality we live in and I'd like to have tooling to deal with that better, because I would also prefer text to not be screenshotted.

Truer words were never said.

Don't most browsers support this?
but not all web servers. often it's disabled
Oof, that's unfortunate. I can't say I've run into this problem though.

I recently wanted to send a file from Linux to an old tablet over Bluetooth. Can't be done apparently. I can send it to my phone, a windows laptop can send it to the tablet, but my Linux PC apparently can't. Still baffled about it.

Steam does as well.
I found out recently that KDE has a "Focus stealing prevention" in their settings and it has been glorious.
Ooh! I need to look that up.

this is not a defined thing in markdown, just the markdown renderers of some clients do it
This here is apparently the original source of the markdown specification, and there it clearly says that this is the correct behaviour: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list
Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:
- Bird
- McHale
- Parish
It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The > HTML Markdown produces from the above list is:
<ol>
<li>Bird</li>
<li>McHale</li>
<li>Parish</li>
</ol>If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:
- Bird
- McHale
- Parish
or even:
- Bird
- McHale
- Parish
you’d get the exact same HTML output

hmm, you are right. it's not actually a bug in the renderer then

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The only difference to the standard that I see is that the standard says it should be 1,2,3,4,5, while at least for me it renders as 5,6,7,8,9.
But that's probably because it doesn't render as HTML and thus doesn't rely on HTML to do the numbering.

Applications that steal focus more than once in their startup are the real devil

My other pet peeves besides these:
- Android locking screen a second before I jab the screen, every single time
- YouTube app. Android and smart TVs. What's wrong with it? (Vague overall gesturing) It's garbage. How is one of the biggest tech companies in the world able to ship this and expect people to pay money for subscriptions is beyond me.

Android in general is trash.
