If you know Javascript you could very easily write a plugin in Obsidian to do this. Just have the plugin replace any markdown with the Unicode equivalent on save.

Great question though, it’s actually making me wonder why this isn’t a thing in normal plain text editors!

I love it, use that functionality all the time. For generic questions, and especially “How do I do X in Linux?” it’s amazing.

On mobile it is the most visible object on the screen, and very annoying:

Yes, me too. I was pointing out that SL can be used without Proton Pass.

Proton provides a SimpleLogin account, which is integrated with Bitwarden, so you can get the same functionality directly with Bitwarden too.

Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.

I’m in their ecosystem but specifically don’t use it, as it seems extraordinarily unsafe to put my passwords behind the same authentication that I use just to check my email.

To add onto what Andromxda said, SimpleLogin is included with your Proton account (might be paid accounts only).

Use it with a custom domain - it’s amazing and if Proton Mail ever shuts down you won’t have to migrate any of your logins because they’re already on your own domain.

Thanks for the links, I will go exploring. And for the record I don’t think it’s controversial to call someone a tankie - as stated today is the first time I’ve heard the word.

Many thanks for the links, that’s great to start a dialogue. I didn’t see anything particularly terrible in my read through the crash course (I might have missed something). In the FAQ I see a link to What about Stalin? Didn’t he kill millions? (Revleft podcast on Stalin), which is an external podcast and I don’t plan to listen to it to find out what it contains. Is there something specific which the developer wrote which you can link to?

Regardless of whether any particular developer is or isn’t a “tankie”, Lemmy the software and Lemmy.ml don’t appear to support any ideologies. Their Code of Conduct specifically states “We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.”

Please don’t think I am merely arguing or playing devil’s advocate. I have only just started using Lemmy and would prefer to not waste my time on a platform that ultimately I wouldn’t like to be associated with, but so far it feels a bit overblown.

The thread from fefitips makes claims without providing any evidence. They say they “have receipts” and can provide on request, but why not simply post it if it actually existed?

I have no dog in this fight - today is the first time I’ve heard the word “tankie” - but I would take the linked claims with a grain of salt until proof is provided.

I put my name on the waiting list. Sure it’s gimmicky, but airplane travel is the perfect place for this. I already spent the entire flight reading, and this would let me really zone out.
