I just unpinned the post. I figured there may be others bothered by this, and plus its been enough weeks at this point. Thanks for voicing this to me :)

Outside of academia, would you say it still provides significant upside over markdown?

I'm sorry I don't know of any way to do that :( does it appear even when you're browsing your main feed??

Is it practical outside of academia? I heard the learning curve is kinda big

Markdown is awesome, I agree! I did not realize you could extend markdown with anything other than html. The html extension is quite nice to do anything that markdown doesn't support natively, but I wish there was an easier way to extend markdown. Maybe the ones you listed are what I need.

Can you please explain what this is?

Why not matrix?

It uses the arkenfox thingie. It doesn't block JS, but it does block a lot of things and possibly certain JS features.

You're correct that inflation is the devaluation of money. The value of a unit of money is represented by what that unit can buy, so the person you replied to is also correct. This is why the most used indicators of inflation are measures of buying power.

If my money is devalued, it means that when I was able to buy 1 gallon of milk, I can now only buy 3/4ths a gallon with the same amount.

So while you're correct in your over simplified example that inflation can be caused by the growth in "pool of money", as you alluded, it is not that simple and its not the only cause. Moreover, inflation still manifests itself in the form of prices increasing. If pool of money grows, but prices remain the same, there's no inflation.

This does not necessitate a "canal of businessmen" conspiring.

Doesn't work on Mull browser (hardened Firefox for android) :(

I'm aware of tails, but I am not confident it qualifies. With Tails, I still connect through my own Internet connection, presumably. I know using tor obfuscates this, but is it to the degree of, say, Monero?

Moreover, I am still at the mercy of the platform I use. Most of them require email or phone verification, and creating an account with lots of data sent over from the clients.

Tails is a necessary component, but the platform is also important.

Yes you're right. Did not realize that's what you meant 😅
