@realcaseyrollins @freemo Fedilab Lite has same crimped limit, see screenshot.

Like my Dark mode and Swift keyboard on it too.

@realcaseyrollins they are really lovely, although there are downsides people might not mention.

Sofá destruction for example, lol.

@realcaseyrollins No, @freemo hasn't got around to it yet -- he knows, and will do it. But I am not sure how much of a pain is involved.

A config file edit and service reload would be easy. Likely not the case, since he hasn't done it yet.

Might involved some more elaborate edits and he's saving for when a patch to serve is being applied.

Been waiting for over a month, and really like Pinafore -- want it for main client. But 500 chars crimps my style severely.

Reason for this thread... 😜

@freemo Wonderful photo, thanks for sharing. Saved for my Backgrouns folder; will make a nice mastodon profile background, cropped at 1500x500p.

Really nice, with these ice needles growing up, great photo.

We had tons of frosty morning already here in Canada (even in my southern location).

@freemo @shibaprasad The Author itself seems to have posted a large preview of the book on his own home site.

And A,mazon and other sources, plus review pages at the Bing search : https://www.bing.com/search?q=Climate+Wars+is+a+book+by+Gwynne+Dyer

@freemo @shibaprasad Just found at another instance.

Real scarcity will be deadly. Climate Wars is a book by Gwynn Dwyer that covers possible future resource conflicts.

@shibaprasad I have added a few new nice Add-ons to Waterfox and am happy with them.

Theme for an upcoming new blog post?

Yeah, adding to the list on my clipboard (the real world, paper sheet variety one; keep two handy around my work area to jot reminders of ideas and to dos, etc.)

Snapshot for the article now ready!

@shibaprasad Awesome!!

I thought you would see the advantage on the screenshot. Way to go!

*Memo to Sys Admins everywhere :*

Please configure the Max Toot Characters allowed to match your instances custom number, if you have it.

Active users enjoying the power and speed of the Pinafore client ( https://pinafore.social, free. Awesome. Try it out!).

Really a PAIN in the butt to chop my posts down at 500 chars, arghhhhhh.

Pretty please, boss? Need it....

@freemo @shibaprasad Self-regulation by an educated population is the best approach, on my Liberal, Socialist view.

"Let them crash and burn, that'll teach them" right wing extremism is neither humane not a solution.

@shibaprasad Looks very nice, great tast in Browser!!!

I took one just now, showing my own Waterfox and the many tabs in use. Plus one thing I wanted to suggest you.

I learned years ago that I love placing the Taskbar at the LEFT side (or Right side) of the screen, instead of default, bottom edge.

Rationale? It frees up some much needed VERTICAL pixels, for reading, which are at a premium with the widescreens we are forced to use those days; not much option for new ones in 3 x 4.

@shibaprasad That's an interesting post, thank you!

We owe the Sumerians and Assyrians for the 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour too.

Their invention, which lives on so long after. Amazing.

I have a really nice Maths book that has some creative ways to teach; one of the pages has a photograph of a Sumerian clay tablet, with the cuneiform writing they used.

And it questions if you can discern a patter. A curious mind will. I loved it, imagine using in class with bright students.

@freemo @shibaprasad Natural systems have population control, but a die off or wide spread destruction, conflicts for resources, water, fuels is not a good way to handle this problem.

Education and promoting birth control would work better, imo.

China and Russia relations are interesting and important. A good novel by Tom Clancy talked about the possibility of Chinese expansion into scarcely occupied Siberia, and it is an interesting hypothesis, what if scenario. #strategy #geography #economics #trends #xp

Population Growth trends in an easy to assimilate form. Watch the huge growths in Africa, Asia. Birth control is needed, we can't keep going like that and keep the Planet and people in good shape.

Hypersonic missiles, leave defense shields in the dust. Russia on the lead.

Debt Rattle December 28 2019 | Russia's first hypersonic missile reaches 27x the speed of sound. China is testing 5x. The US? Nothing so far. Not even the claims they can defend vs Russia appear credible.
