Is anyone here from the #qgis community? With my association I'm thinking to start making courses and being recognized by QGIS to issue official certificates. I've never contributed to the codebase though, I'm just a user with some kinda good knowledge of it. What are the chances that I'd have troubles with it? How does the assessment actually works?
Thanks!
Anyone else alone in this new years eve? How are you coping?
Does anyone use virtual assistants, lile alexa or google assistant? I'm thinking of using some help to get more time off the screen, so that I don't have to check the phone for the time, to remember my calendar or if I have a quick curiosity. Anyone knows if that may work?
I'd take a small course on "how not to upset professors" without hesitation.
It's really damn hard to be polite and kind and all when a professor keeps making very basic mistakes and dismissing your thoughts without even a comment
Can't wait to finish this degree
there is so many beautiful people that close themselves up because of #depression, and I can't get to even know them, that it makes me really f**king angry.

Ancient mastodon pictures discovered in the Amazon rainforest!
"Their date is based partly on their depictions of now-extinct ice age animals, such as the mastodon, a prehistoric relative of the elephant that hasn’t roamed South America for at least 12,000 years. There are also images of the palaeolama, an extinct camelid, as well as giant sloths and ice age horses."
Amazing!
This makes me think of one of my favourite book series, Earth's Children by Jean M. Auel :)
I bought three keyboards from amazon and had to return them all. Seems like having a perfect keyboard is really, really hard. What do you use?
I'm looking for something with short run, a wrist rester and island buttons, silent, decent feedback. It's amazing how picky can i be over this kind of stuff.
Give me your thoughts about keyboards!

After discussing with the QOTO moderators we would like to nominate @khird as a new moderator.
It isn't official yet though, we want to give all of our users a chance to consider our nomination and vote either for or against. Also users are welcome and encouraged to nominate their own suggestions as well.
After about a week if no objections are raised and the support is positive with no opposing nominations to consider we will make the nomination real.
Lets hear from you!
I'm not sure how to deal with this. Even just 1 hour on the computer seem to drain all my energy out, I can't even wash the dishes afterwards.
Today a did a full day without and I felt alive after days... does someone else have the same problem? How do you deal with it, especially if you have to work with the computer?
I don't understand, why do many server based services, like instagram or snapchat, do not have a full browser compatibility? I don't think it should take them a lot of time to write a web front end, would it?

I think philosophy of science should be mandatory for every science field.
Seems to me like many scientists forget the importance of replicability when they put in the papers stuff like "this population of orchid was isolated in Sicily", or "in Belgium", I even find places that do not exist, and they keep the raw data for themselves so that I can't reproduce the analysis.
Some morning I hate scientists. There sure is a lot to fix in the structure
Oftentimes I have no clue what the people are talking about, and now in this covid times is so hard to get a grip on what the mainstream topics of conversation are, as I have no mainstream social and are, internet-wise, a bit on the weird side in my country.
So I thought: how can I check what the most trending topics of conversation are?
so far I thought about checking google searches for my country and see what keywords had a spike in the past 2-3 weeks, or get some new rss feed.
Anyone had the same problem and solve it without much effort?
Sometimes you wake up in the morning and for some reason the mind goes to when Caesar is presented with Pompey's head by Tolomeus.
And you shear some tears, not only because well, they had a strong bond after all, but also because you look around and can find no man who is worth even a foot of either the guys.
I'll redraft this:
Do you people find that internet is actually a good tool to make new friends? I find it very hard, at the best it creates good acquaintances, but without a beer irl or a walk in the park... I don't know
Teach me, if you have this wisdom!

There is so much to unload in that statement.
For starters lets be clear I do recognize and agree that there are plenty of examples of governments where the laws are designed in such a way that is unfair for those in poverty and makes it harder to get out of poverty than I’d like.
With that said, I certainly wouldnt adopt the idea from this statement you made:
Yes, almost everyone has some influence over their financial situation, and that influence is tiny, doesn’t matter.
As someone who grew up in absolute poverty, on welfare, had to grow up in a home with 4 generations under the same small roof and never even had a room of my own until much later in life, someone who later made my own success and am now financially successful, I can say first hand, at least in the USA, that nothing can be farther from the truth.
My success didnt come at the whim of some rich person, no one gave me a chance, I worked my ass off in near-starving conditions to get there on my own. I spent my free time at the library, I studied at a very young age, and by the time I was 15 years old I figured out how to make 6 figures from a house hold that otherwise could barely feed me.
I’ve been through the process, I’ve seen it first hand, and I can say without a doubt int he USA we have a great deal of power to define our own financial freedom. While that doesnt mean the system is fair, and it doesnt mean you have the same advantage as someone born rich, it is clear the notion of ones control over their own financial health as being insignificant is simply not the reality.
I should also point out I spend a good deal of my free time tutoring young adults in subjects that they cant afford to go to college to learn, in the hopes they can use that knowledge to get out of poverty on their own. I never give these people dumps of money or give them favors to start them out in life, the only thing I do is spend a year or more helping them study and learn marketable skills. Virtually everyone I ever taught who lasted a year without quiting went on to make very good money and be successful despite having a start in life of poverty…
So I also know im not the exception, I’ve seen dozens of people go from rags to riches due to their own hard work and study and little more. So even if we agree that the cards may be stacked against them it is also clear that most people have a great deal of influence on their financial standing, the system may not be fair, but you do have a lot of the power to change your situation despite this.
@freemo @design_RG Hi people, has been a while since I heard from both of ya. How is it going? How are things from a mod pov?
I go daily to check in the pending accounts, but I never see anythng. Are you really quick, or we implemented some automation?
I'm not checking on the reports much, I'm just taking care of the ordinary maintenance and users of nextcloud basically, but let me know if you need some help with something.
hope you are having a great one!

Managed Groups Feature
YAY! I finally got the email confirmations working on the group server. that is the last of the bugs/features, it is now ready for opening to the public. Later today anyone interested in registering for a managed group can do so.
Only thing i have to do now is fill in the policies and about page, fix the headers on the load balancer to pass in the ip address and it will go live.
Stay tuned the server should be open for registration in about an hour. Hello managed groups fediverse!

I go into a little detail about how the new managed groups at qoto ( https://groups.qoto.org ) works. Might be worth a look for anyone interested.

@alex Sorry I went to bed right before you sent this reply. NO it isnt there yet, it will have its own repo and right now the repo only exists loc...
today I started a list: things I'll do when I'll have a lot of money.
I understood how used I am to being so close to poverty when I wrote stuff like a 20 bucks bluetooth speaker and a set of screwdrivers.
