~~Could be, but I can't check because you're also commenting on my OP. Could you retry commenting on another comment not written by me?~~

Never mind: the mention worked.

Shouldn't you ask that question on https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support?

You don't need to allow other people on your server.

If you start your own server, you moderate yourself.

Whether others want to federate with your server is up to them.

And set a cup of coffee?

Yep, already an 'issue' (feature request) on github:

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/367

You can just make text bold or italics yourself of course. And adding a hyperlink can be done manually as well. But I agree that buttons would be easier.

And before you ask:

To make text bold add ** before and after the text)

To make text italics add * before and after the text)

To add a hyperlink put the text between [] and immediately add the hyperlink after it between ()

Yay! Thanks so much.

Doesn't this depend on the platform/OS one uses?

That's indeed what I use it for. If I would have added a hyperlink to the release notes of Voyager, I might refer you to the hyperlink 'in my OP' (original post).

But I'm simultaneously the OP (original poster) that people might refer to in the comments if they point out the OP added a hyperlink in the OP.

Or original post. Both are used interchangeably.

The best way to get a quick understanding I think is to listen to episode 561 (2015) of This American Life about NUMMI in California:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/561/nummi-2015

Toyota was more or less forced to start building cars in the US in the early eighties and did so in an unlikely joint venture with General Motors. GM was very interested in learning how Toyota build their cars. Bottom line: the Toyota Production System or TPS is mostly a way of management thinking that is completely different from the way most companies in the world manage people.

It is based on trusting employees, enforcing employees by training them, allowing employees to report errors as soon as possible, viewing the production proces as a manager with your own senses, understanding the production proces, truly following a vision and more.

Toyota actually does what most managers learn in management schools but don't practice. Most managers outside Toyota want to be a boss and not a leader. But Toyota wants leaders that are being followed by employees based on intrinsic values.

Interestingly, the Toyota Production System is heavily influenced by the Training Within Industry program developed by the US Army during WWII and taught in post-war Japan by the US. And statistician W. Edwards Demming who showed Japan what true PDCA looks like.

Although an initial success, the production plant ultimately stopped operating. It was purchased by Tesla, and AFAIK, as of today Teslas are being build in the same plant in Fremont. But I highly doubt TPS is used to build Teslas.

Really? Didn't know that was possible but it's great to hear that.
