I'm planning an update to my Markdown Quick Reference

I'd like to fix a few of the omissions and a couple of mis-categorisations, such as the role of the description text in images.

Other features & behaviours:

• Character entities: (c) (r) (tm) (p) give (c) (r) (tm) (p).

• How to reference profiles. The difference between @Doc Edward Morbius, https://diaspora.glasswings.com/u/dredmorbius, https://diaspora.glasswings.com/people/aaf2303053e2013a00fd448a5b29e257, and {dredmorbius@diaspora.glasswings.com}, and when you'd use each.

• Short vs. full references to posts. https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/978058 vs. https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/bb9efd507ee8013a5b42448a5b29e257 NB: that last long number is a GUID, but I'm not sure what the short value (978058) is, or how it is derived. Any guidance on this is appreciated. There's no mention in the Diaspora* documentation that I can find.

• Host-specified vs. local-part references to posts. https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/bb9efd507ee8013a5b42448a5b29e257 vs /posts/bb9efd507ee8013a5b42448a5b29e257, and why it's necessary to enter that last as [/posts/bb9efd507ee8013a5b42448a5b29e257](/posts/bb9efd507ee8013a5b42448a5b29e257)

• Reshares and various interactions with dead Pods / deleted profiles / deleted posts.

• #hashtags

• The Diaspora Foundation website, with Documentation, Github Codebase, and Discussion.

• Interactions with non-Diaspora* sites / networks. These include Friendica, Hubzilla, and Socialhome, that I'm aware of.

Possibly, #jq tools for recovering source code of posts and comments.

Other suggestions / additions / changes / corrections welcomed.

I'm also posting this as its own post so that the revision itself can be reshared (a quirk of reshares...).

Quick guide to variants of concern in the UK

Independent SAGE

This is the website which is independent of the UK government which, as many are aware, have bullied various government departments to withhold scientific evidence.

This link provides updates as to the variants, basic information about them and effectiveness of vaccines available.
