@yantrajaal An interesting article, thank you.

Cyber operations are already being done, by various nation state sponsored teams.

Even malware with a highly complex nature, clearly taking lots of time and talented people to create, was used against adversaries, for example the Stuxnet worm.

Antarctic Station cross sectioned drawing. Great illustration work and interesting engineering for the harshest climates on the planet.

Solid State Cooling?

Cool in more than one sense!

@freemo They must have a lot on their plate all the time, but starting the ball rolling is the best we can do.

Plus, here, check the first page new users see, and the About This Serve page. Add fully spelled out acronym, or additional text.

The English comprehension requirement you opened for discussion earlier this morning also, once there's a consensus and you decide what's best.

@freemo Now that we mentioned him maybe Peter could help?

@peterdrake

@freemo If it was hand picked, a message to him with a link to this thread might clarify what and why we want to change.

Just decide on the final form of the text you would like to see there, maybe up to 120 or 125 chars, and send him a DM, imo.

@Bhavikchitalia Hello Bhavik and welcome!

Found a reference for who Shrimad R is; might help. 😺

@Patrick Hello, Patrick and welcome. Wasn't long ago that I posted my very own 1st message here.

You found a good place, enjoy!

@freemo

@freemo There is one user who posts here and is a Uni Comp Sci professor, in Seattle I think. Name?

Search found. Peter Drake.

https://qoto.org/@peterdrake

@freemo Our current text description there is only 61 characters.

The Witches.live on the right side 113 have characters, and there's still room for maybe 10 chars or so.

Did this on my text editor, and it's 108 chars (w/o quotes):

"Question Others to Teach Ourselves. A STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math - oriented instance."

@freemo The Front Door, certainly.

Any page that's presented to new users during the account creation process.

The About This Server page, maybe add the image or a smaller resized one there.

If could be arranged, in the joinmastodon.org text describing QOTO instance.

https://joinmastodon.org/#getting-started

There is a little bit of room there, so maybe in words, spelling out the acronym meaning?

@freemo Those are good, thank you.

The only thing I would add is spell out the STEM acronym, as people might have found QOTO simply from it's prominent position on joinmastodon.org's Instance list / Join page - and not realize that this is not a typical, general audience focused server.

Found a nice visual one.

@realcaseyrollins I think it we seriously look at the Universe, and take the time to quiet down and reflect, the wonder of it all is very humbling.

That can be a very positive development for a person. Puts one in perspective.

Have a good day! 🌄 🌠

@freemo Oh, you do realize what I meant. 😎

MH issues it seems to me.

@pschwede Thanks for the post, I usually head to The Guardian first thing in the morning, it's my favourite news source.

But I have been so busy and absorbed by fediverse that it's been days without a visit there. Or the other faves I follow.

The UK election is dreadful, if the polls giving a large lead to the Conservatives turn out right at the end. The party is destroying Britain.

@freemo Good morning and thank you for cleaning up!

I had to use the Mute button earlier on, it was too much for me. One line timestamps? Weirdness.

Might be a good time to clarify to people what each of the post privacy settings do?

From https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/

Like on a TV remote control, sometimes the Mute button is a big relief. 📢 🚫
