Not just South america, but generally most countries south of the equator, outside the imperial core, who are making most of the products for the world while being paid miniscule wages.
The pirates innovated and made content available long before the corporations did.
Before streaming services took off, it was the only way to get movies and music (besides some IRC rooms). There were even a few golden years where movies would get leaked to torrents in full quality, before the theatrical release.
Music too was easier to find on napster, limewire, and torrents, than your local music store.
Classic orientalist moment, can't even get the country right when the president is right there in the picture.
Or maybe those corporate boroughs in Snow Crash.
I think the chat bots are, but the upvote bots sure know how to push the most rage-inducing and high-engagement posts to the top. Twitter, youtube, and reddit are very good at that now.
A deluge of articles that confirms the audience's unexamined orientalism, and makes them feel superior.
"I'm as left as they come! I also agree with US foreign policy, and think that every country on the official US sanctions and foreign adversary list needs to be overthrown."
I believe commonmark tries to specify a minimum baseline spec, and doesn't try to to expand beyond that. It can be frustrating bc we'd like to see tables, superscripts, spoilers, and other things standardized, but I can see why they'd want to keep things minimal.
My main wishlist for markdown, is a better live collaborative markdown editor. Hedgedoc works, but it's showing it's age, and they don't seem to be getting close to releasing v2.
Etherpad also has a markdown extension, but it doesn't import / export that well.
Hedgedoc / hackmd support a good amount of extensions out of the box. I think typora and obsidias do also (but not open source).
My favorite video game, but gotta agree, 9 times out of 10 Max Payne is losing to Major Payne.
