@Lyudmila Si, Lyudmila -- puedes usar Toots mas longos si quieras, ahi se permiten hasta aquel limite que mencioné -- 65,000 caracteres.

En Twitter, son solo 240 y es una tortura para mi allá.

@Lyudmila Hola Lyudmila y gracias por tus aportes a Qoto y al Fediverso.

Quisiera dicerte que ahi en Qoto teniemos un limite para Toots muy grande - en verdad es 65 mil caracteres.

Si quisieras hacer posts mas longos, no haberian problemas; solo que percebo que estabas usando Tusky, y debido a un problema de configuración del servidor ahi, los clientes normales como Tusky , Fedilab y otros solo permiten usar 500 caracters, el limite normal de Mastodon.

Si utliizas el cliente Web, aportando a Qoto por un navegador como Firefox, or Chrome, ali puedes utilizar qualquier tamaño hasta los 65,000 caracters, como le dijo.

* Veas ahi en esta captura de pantalla -- aun tengo mas de 64,000 caracteres disponibles (estoy en Firefox, y con el cliente Web)

Pienso que quizá esto te puede ser util.

Buenas tardes!

This one seems to have one advantage compared to my own setup -- there's mentions of Columns being adjustable in width, which is a nicety I have only found in ONE client for Mastodon so far --> Whalebird.

https://github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-desktop/releases/tag/3.0.0

Found at another instance, a fellow user suggesting a way to use the FULL width of our modern laptop/desktop screens.

A big pet peeve of mine, if you know me. (got mine running and quite happy)

Here's his/her suggestion :

"Another tip is to use the the browser addon Stylus and then add a userstyle like https://userstyles.org/styles/154943/mastodon-variable-width-variation to make it fill whole the screen. You have to edit the userstyle to include your instance though. "

Have you ever seen or heard of the Altair 8800?

Tech historians and #retro #computing people know. Important, fist personal computer ever.

Jess is rebuilding one, and I just found a pic, cropped here for size (Bytes, I save them).

@freemo Going with the street practice, as in "Guidos". 😜

@pschwede In Binary, it would make quite a string of them.

@pschwede Oh, absolutely, it's ok -- I cropped out most of the page, you would be hard pressed to guess the source.

My bad, but a little plug for Bing Translator is bonus. LOL, I really like it.

I even use it for quick translation to a language I speak fluently, and then polish up the output for style and grace.

On the future writings front, I found a new inspiration.

Had seen Pleroma nodes in the past, when first joining #Fediverse , but there was so much new stuff to look and try to understand that I never joined a node to see what it is like.

Now I did, and I am impressed. Wow!

Lots of nice features. Things I only dream of here, or beg (in vain, mostly) for masto admins to consider adding in their nodes.

Have been taking and saving screenshots, will prepare an extensive report via Blog when I can understand it better.

But I want to share the news, there's a lot of talent working on that project. Kudos, Pleroma project.

For the time being, if anyone wants to see and join, I found this nice node via someone mentioning it -- and I seeing their post by chance.

https://expired.mentality.rip is a nice one. Recommended. @a1batross is the local admin, and a competent one. Kudos.

@Yann is my newest alt ID.

@lnxist hei, there, welcome!

You sound a lot like one of our locals here. Alt account, maybe?

@pschwede I use bing Translator because :

* it's not a google property.
* it accepts a big text block, up to 5,000 chars.
* and the output is paginated properly.

the google translate output is a mess if copied and pasted back into a letter or post. Or it has been in my experience at least.

regarding the contents, I recognized the Pi char, but really wanted a more mnemonic way to remember your username for posts. LOL, the @ one in itself is hard to remember, the Chinese one, impossible.

@maison_faim Much better than Tense or Stressed out, yes!! 😜

@Sattology Welcome to Qoto, Sattology!

@pschwede Is this translation correct? (You are, in English, source chars apparently being Simplified Chinese)

@pschwede Thanks for the link and for an interesting feature of daily life here on Qoto, PS. (I cannot fathom the username in Kanji -- what does it say?)

I will try to look at your Wolfram page, TY!

@Lyudmila

No es problema, Lyudmilla, que yo puedo traducirlo, por cortesia.

Un post tuyo fué el mas activo del dia, ayer, @pschwede tiene esto bot que seleciona el Top post. Y tuyo há sido elegido.

Yo estaba dicendo que congratulaciones a ti, y que tu disparas más qualquer otro usuario ahi (un juste con tu tema de atiradora de elite, en memoria de Lyudmila, que és una figura admirable).

@realcaseyrollins Since Corporations won unrestricted political donations rights as a result of taking the litigation all the way to the SCOTUS (Citizens United, a sad precedent and blow to democracy) , it seems pretty appropriate to think they would be the Plural form of people.

Yes. 👍

@realcaseyrollins

Ah, I had been curious about which programme you were enrolled in. That's a nice place to be, I would love to be in that stream.
