found this under my personal profile preferences..
so it seems markdown is still supported / possible. perhaps monospaced is what youāre actually after?

Everything went back to light mode on my endā¦
But at least the custom emojis are loading in the picker thingy. Or was that related to the dark theme?

yeah my profile didnāt change to light mode but @tac0s did.. no idea on the picker.. it works for me in dark mode.
Iāve been running the same discourse server for so many years that my bet is through all the updates, some user prefs and browser side cookies have just been kinda āmessed upā.. so maybe this update kinda borked out some profiles back to original settings.. but if you were having issues with the picker, my bet is it should work now in dark or light mode. lemme know!

I donāt see anything to get the markdown editor back. However, monospace for the markdown editor (when I get it back) would be a nice feature, so I š¹checked that. Normally I do all my monospace in vim and then paste it into a code block.

How do I write code block with my fingers now?

Oh, good, thatā¦ kind of sort of half-borked works?
No, ah! It's borkeĢd about 75%! Code block s'posed to be over now!
Anywaā¦. Oh itās over now. Where is the end ofā¦? ( Ā°_Ā° 
What you see is not whatās thereā¦
Anyway, uhm, I can just do what I do on new-new reddit that borked the markdown editor settings, and Iāll compose all my messages in vim and then let people just read it in markdown, ācause the point of markdown is that itās legible even when itās rendered raw.
Also, it may or may not have affected my dark/light mode I dunno ācause I manage that with a firefox extension so itās always dark even when itās light.

Why is there a face in my face?
Why is there a code block in my code block?
How do you get the big menu? Is that available on desktop? I get the little one but hafta click-n-drag so I donāt use it much. [Edit: I donāt remember how I managed to use it once, without setting up a pointing device.]

Ah hah! Yes, and itās conveniently within reach of a single shift+tab. Very good, thank you.
(Oh, and this monospace setting while editing is nice.)

Thatās the mobile version.
Also, this emoji needs an update as it has a square white border thatās only noticeable in dark mode:

Hereās a PNG of it with the alpha layer:
Sorry that the one I provided back in the day had a borked transparency layer.

Iāve got some beauracrat paperwork issues that Iām working on through it long term. It seems smoother. Iād like to try using it on my AI project again to handle linux, and see if itās a significant improvement. It mostly worked with 4.0, but when it downgraded to 3.5 it got squirrely. Currently, Iām just not loading it hard enough to see a big difference.

Which is why Iām letting Chatgpt sweat the details. If I had to, Iādve givin up by now. Especially as Iām fighting on two fronts, one the US govt beauracy and the other a University committee. Both make me want to scream into the void.

Iāve started to become irritated with devices that begin to fail too early with the designed battery capacity.
Samsung Ezon smart lock.. 4x AA? I donāt think so. How about 4x D cells?
Shelley flood sensor with a bullshit 3v CR123A battery? No fucking way. How about 2x D cells?
According to my calculations, I wonāt have to crawl back behind my dirty basement washing machine to change these bad boys out for 12-18 years!
