It looks (parses) as perfectly fine markdown on Lemmy (lemm.ee), it looks like how the markdown says it should look. The person above seems to want to inject asterisks into what you wrote for their own reasons, you did nothing wrong.

In response to a request for comment from the Observer, Michaela Ross, vice president of media relations and executive communications with JP Morgan Chase, responded via email: “The employee in question is on leave while we complete our investigation. We do not tolerate hate speech of any kind.”

When asked about Provenzano’s employment and apparent posts on X, a public affairs officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian Head provided the following statement: “The Navy has a zero-tolerance policy for extremist conduct and takes all allegations of personnel involvement in extremist groups seriously. These allegations are under investigation. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”

+1 on Howard Leights - popular in the shooting sports (USPSA/IPSC, IDPA, ICORE, etc.) for their effectiveness and ability to adjust sensitivity. Comfortable for long periods and last forever even when lightly abused in outdoor environments.

A bit of a weird but I think true add-on to this in 2024: look for the one dude (or lady) with arms full of ink (tattoos). A person who spends countless hours in a chair and thousands of dollars on their work is highly recognizable and identifiable, things a would-be creeper does not want. Even if maybe their work looks a little gang or biker, people know who they are and are not the scary ones in this park at this moment. $0.02

There’s a MV3 alternate (same dev!) “uBlock Origin Lite” which this article completely misses out on mentioning: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh

There are certain websites and tools which need chrome/chromium making it a necessary evil; for example there’s a new trend in firmware flashing of devices like ESP32 boards and HAM/GMRS radios which are web based and use Chrome tech. This new MV3 fork isn’t as good as the original but it’s better than nothing and does stop some ad trash.

tl;dr - depends not only on the device but also carrier and region. Google specifically made changes to stop devs from doing it. Full explanation to read: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/record-calls-on-your-android-phone
