*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@qoto.org

@freemo That is very nice, I like t ooffer a sympathetic ear as well. I know it's hard, have been thru it before.

Quite difficult for people to get treatment in many places, long delays before you can see a doctor.

Listening does help. Well done, friend.

@kosame I can relate to that. Get some nice email and want to Boost it. 😛

It is Nice to have a Forum as part of our QOTO instance group of services. Each service has its own focus, and Discourse is a nice way to keep conversations visible for longer times.

* QOTO's Discourse Forum is at https://discourse.qoto.org/

Our posts in Mastodon are still here, but buried under many more we add to our profiles daily, while here a discussion has a more visible "Home".

* We can refer to threads we post here, helping new users, and ourselves at the same time. No more "I did write something about that...", or similar. :wink:

* We have emojis, text formatting with Bold and Italic, Images, attachments and more.

* To get started or to refresh your skills, learn some new ones and make your posts prettier - How about Reading the Friendly Manual?

* RTFM has always been a recommendation in tech and science circles. :wink:

The developers team at Discourse created a New User Guide.

It's located at : https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-new-user-guide/96331

@mngrif Fantastic detail, great colouring. Wow. 👍

@freemo

@realcaseyrollins Not sure, do you post NSFW stuff at other places?

Here we are all good boys and gals. ☮️ 😺

@capsulax Hello capsulax, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.

Have a good day!

@realcaseyrollins You are welcome.

Tomorrow is another day, maybe a better one. Sleep well tonight! 😉

@jahnke Nice posts, Max, our administrator here, Dr Freeman, will enjoy seeing them and chatting with you. He loves Math as well.

It's early hours of the morning where he lives (Europe), but he will be around in a few hours.

The hashtags you used can be ways to locate people with similar interests too.

Sometimes things are surprisingly quiet here, and I go out and looking for conversation in other instances, or stay right here but monitor and participate in the Home and Federated feeds.

The Home feed is populated with posts from people you do follow, so it's empty at first, but soon starts getting busy if you find interesting people to follow.

Their posts, and the ones from others but that they boost (same as a retweet) all show up in Home feed.

Federated feed is all the posts from all the people anyone here at Qoto follows - so there are many, many posts and it scrolls very quickly.

Suggestion for finding interesting people to follow? Monitor the Local feed, our own users post there, interact with any you find a bit interesting.

Also, look for the hash tags of people suggesting people to follow -- #FF and #FollowFriday are always popular, and you will see posts from all kids of places show up.

Stick around and soon you will be amazed how much happens, how many interesting things we can learn and go on to investigate more.

@manav Hello Manav! 😄

Today another mastodon user created a Blog post about the new enhanced clipboard in Windows 10.

Marco's article is all text, and explains the workings of it.

https://marcozehe.de/2019/12/08/how-to-use-the-extended-clipboard-in-windows-10/

@jahnke Ah, wonderful.

Glad I posted the link then.

It's a nice guide, if you have questions just post and ask.

@realcaseyrollins Oh-oh. 😔

Want to talk about it?

@jahnke Hello, M R, and welcome to Qoto.

I am doing well, glad you found our instance, it's a friendly and nice place.

Are you familiar with Mastodon yet? I usually recommend a guide for new users, if needed. This one: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

If you have any questions, please ask. Enjoy your stay!

@alex_ 😄 It is funny but I was actually talking about the other pickup truck - the one that has sinuous curves on its side panels, I thought it was very tasteful design wise. Its nose was blunt and not good aerodynamically.

The new design, in stainless stell, which you just included in the post above, I think it's modern.

I like modern design and Architecture, some of the best of the era is simple and un-ornamented. The Cyber truck (I think that's the name, no?) has a certain similarity to the De Lorean sports car, the one used in the "Back to the Future" films.

This design is courageous, on departing with what most of the industry is doing. All these bland, semi-worn soap bar style cars.

On this new model, the sides are nicely angular, The roof peak is a bit too high, like you mentioned. And the nose is blunt and ugly, unfortunately.

I read an article about it talking about the innovative production techniques it brings in - the body is made of all flat panels, produced with folding machines, not a gigantic and expensive stamping press like normal cars.

Pretty neat, Tesla has some chutzpah indeed. 😉

@chikara Thank you for another nice and informative post. I hope you didn't mind my suggestion of using the CW as a presentation tool.

Your posts are unique and interesting - I am very interested in History of Technology, which in itself is a large field of study.

The gravures showing life in other times are precious, giving an insight into things gone now.

You could consider setting up a Blog to hosts those posts.

I have been reaserching that for my own posts, to collect and consolidate things.

Dr Freeman had suggested Write.freely as a platform, and I got started into it.

The basic experience is simple and stark; similar to a plain text editor, the words are the most valued content.

One can concentrate on them and not worry about text formatting or the myriad tools and options in more complex software like WordPress.

I will share my experiences, and my blog posts there can be notified into mastodon, as Write.freely is fully fediverse compatible. Pretty neat.

Adding images can be done, but it requires a little HTML tagging, img src: type of things.

Please continue with the varied posts and enlighten us on Japanese history, culture and technology development.

@alex_ I like the modern design, the sides look muscular and sleek, not brutal like some of the current full size ugly GM and Ford models.

The nose, however... That can't be good, aerodynamically.

@evaristus LOL, too late, you are already curious and thinking about it... 😜
