pfm 🧘 :mastodont: Dear <a class="hashtag" href="https://edolas.world/tag/lazyweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LazyWeb</a>, are you aware of any summary of how <a class="hashtag" href="https://edolas.world/tag/genai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> impacts critical thinking?

PuercoPop<p>It seems that markdown killed the desire for implementing wikitext for recent wikis. Everything created after &gt;2010 seems to use markdown and call it a day. Does anyone now of a recent wiki that doesn't use markdown?

Aatheus<p>Dear <a href="https://batchats.net/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lazyweb</span></a> I have a request for some audio and video that I need for a project that I am working on. </p><p>I am the editor for an adults-oriented show, the Mosquito and Spider Show. It's based on Nik Caesar's indie comic, Mosquito and Spider. A bit Space Ghost, a bit Ren and Stimpy, and lots of adult humor.</p><p>I am in need of a couple of audio and video clips. But as this is an indie project (but the episodes will be sold eventually), I can't justify the $100 a month to Storyblocks for stock footag</p>

We think the GPS antenna has been damaged, thing is I'm not even sure which part is the GPS antenna. There's a couple of things that look like antennas put they're just 30mm or so of copper. I thought a gps antenna hadda be more complicated than that?. Anyone know of a teardown article or vid on garmins, or some tech doco?</p>
Alex<p>Dear <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lazyweb</span></a> does anyone know how this navigational marker should be tagged in <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openstreetmap</span></a>? I've been going through the wiki and I can find how navigational buoys are tagged but so far nothing for land based marine navigation aids. I believe the marker lines up with the inland lighthouse.</p>

I'm curious how others handle code reviews where the difference is a matter of personal taste (e.g., I like doing it this way because [some reason that really just boils down to preference]).

I'm curious from the reviewer's and the submitter's perspectives.

Also, I'm pretty sure something good has been written on this already, somewhere... so, I guess I'm not so curious, yet, that I'm willing to put in the work to get an answer.
