You're on linux? The odds of you getting a virus on linux are not 0 but very slim, since the userbase is very small.

Plus, viruses prey on people's ignorance. The usual "movie file viruses" are .exe files and can only be run on windows. Most people don't enable the option to show file extensions on windows, so a filed named "movie.mkv.exe" would show up as "movie.mkv" instead.

IMO, the odds of you accidentally running a virus by playing a .mkv file on linux are as high as the odds of you winning the lottery 3 times in a row.

the real issue is having only two parties. it makes the tribalism even stronger.

edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it's in a code block.

"wrongly" if in a code block for sure

I use Sync for lemmy, it's a mess but it's the app that's the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it's like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao

doesn't for me. definitely a client issue. these little quirks are what keeps programmers up at night.

yup. sync seems to parse it and take any & code and renders it as the actual character. lets lest it.

lemmy doesn't resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does
