Got an Aussie post card even. Gret photo, nice looking place!

@Iambharani @freemo @user @Surasanji Kids can be great inspiration and fun! 😇

@narovish Hello Navorish, welcome to Qoto! Grab a coffee or tea, the pots are in the corner. *points*

🍵
Enjoy the lounge.

@mngrif No kidding, dug up a picture. Look at them horns.

@johnlitt "Groudhog Day" is a wonderful film, maybe we are not talking about the same one, since the one I refer to is more recent and I think an American production?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107048/ is the one I mean

Great film, which I have watched a few times; love how he learns and discovers new skills, honing them over and over to mastery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film)

There is a newer film, similar title? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4338252/?ref_=nv_sr_5?ref_=nv_sr_5 which seems weird at first glance.

@mngrif geez, that will be registered on the Cockatoo's memory as a very memorable harassment moment. 😛

I vividly remember a similar moment; hiking on a trail and near the mountain top facing a HUGE cow (thankfully not a even scarier bull) with wide and pointy horns.

I diverted into the rocks and treeline, while gently talking and explaining I was merely passing by and meant no harm, no need for distress, etc. My companion took a photo, we passed peacefully.

Coexistence is possible.

@johnlitt @freemo @arteteco @Surasanji Yes, this had crossed my mind earlier even, when I saw posts that are not only a language I don't know, but in a non-Latin script, which I tried OCR'íng at yandex Translate and wasn't able to.

John's suggestion is a good one, and I am waiting to gain experience and the qualifications needed to volunteer in that role in the future as well. But even so, there will be posts only a few users would understand, and waiting for a complaint/post report is not ideal.

Opening up a discussion is a good thing. Maybe having local active and trusted users vouch for the thread early on (and follow it closely) could help, in a Contributor's role as we see in other communities (Forums I participated in the past).

Eager to follow this discussion. 😉

Discovered the PinePhone on posts across the fediverse, and I am intrigued by it.

I consider the current two major players situation a real problem -- not only due to Privacy and huge Security concerns, but also for the lack of choices we end up with.

I have used a variety of systems in the past. Miss many of them, which were great products, in terms of Design, features, creative User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI).

The best don't necessarily win. Witnessed by the numerous examples of superior ones being left behind and to the memories of their orphaned users.

What is PinePhone?

"An Open Source Smart Phone Supported by All Major Linux Phone Projects

Perhaps you’re in a line of work where security is a must, or a hard-core Linux enthusiast, or perhaps you’ve just got enough of Android and iOS and you’re ready for something else – the PinePhone may be the next Phone for you. Powered by the same Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit SOC used in our popular PINE A64 Single Board Computer, the PinePhone runs mainline Linux as well as anything else you’ll get it to run.

The purpose of the PinePhone isn’t only to deliver a functioning Linux phone to end-users, but also to actively create a market for such a device, as well as to support existing and well established Linux-on-Phone projects. All major Linux Phone-oriented projects, as well as other FOSS OS’, are represented on the PinePhone and developers work together on our platform to bring support this this community driven device. "

Just found a couple of disgusting posts here in our lounge.

Porn, actually, with animated gifs and disgusting text.

Everyone, if you see any posts are clearly WRONG, considering what QOTO is, please REPORT to mods so it can be taken down ASAP.

Here's an example of how to do it (the post in the snapshot is not that bad, just an example).

- Click on the 3 dots at the bottom of the post.

- a popup menu has the options you can use. Select REPORT at the bottom, a new window will pop up, fill in WHY the post is not appropriate (hate, crime, etc) and send it in.

Thank you! 😉
