@_lunawinters Huge improvement, congratulations! ☀️ 🌻

Would suggest the poll has a bit of a bias. Someone who chooses NO, but doesn't like to eat meat, what do they do?

@johnlitt Nice work, well done! 😄

I have a page with info on a similar package on one of zillion tabs open here (waiting for reading).

@compass_straight_edge @metapsyche Relaxing now, end of the day. Some leaves raking again, it's late Fall here and there's still many blowing around.

I like Matte but the kid that is toasted, it's popular in Brazil (which also has yerba matte drinkers, specially in the southern states. It's called "Chimarrão" there)

Mate Leão is my favourite.

@Sphinx @SG1953 Welcome to Qoto, SG.

I can relate to your motives, havn't been going to FB much and posting even less. The company is shaddy, and mostly under control of one man, Zuck.

Enjoy your time here, there's much more variety and some surprising content. Have a good time!

Bemvindo ao Qoto, Compass. 😄

Vi o post do Ronaldo acima, e pensei num serviço que é comercial, eu uso e gosto - o preço é bem razoavel. Mas so tem canais da Inglaterra (e a opção de outros extras da França, Irlanda.)

Eles oferecem até uma hora de tV por dia para quem tem uma conta gratiuta. Excelente para pegar o noticiário da BBC do dia, por exemplo.

@Craig47333 actually it's switter, I had the name wrong on screenshot above. Got it now.

click on any of those user results, and it will take you to their profile page, at their server.

Alas, their server is down atm.

https://switter.at gives error shown.

@Craig47333 I am on my laptop, and the search is on the top left corner. Enter what you are looking for.

On a mobile device it should be there somewhere.

@Craig47333 ...search box, top left corner? 😛

@thegibson Tesla site was creating that much of a load?

Wow, they must be cryptomining to make petty cash this month. 😜

@georgia LOL. 😜

@SecondJon Yes, I agree. Sadly, as it's just to engage people at a very superficial level, or worse, to enrage and radicalize people.

We can have a dialogue with respect for the other person's views. It just takes civility and respect from both sides.

A user at another instance was commenting about having bought this exact router, and that it solved his problem with patchy coverage in some areas of his home.

That can be difficult, specially if there are solid walls, masonry or even concrete, between the router and the client devices.

I searched and found this review, read it and liked it. A fair and detailed evaluation. The router is currently VERY pricy - listed at near 300 UK Pounds.

And you really only benefit from that investment if you already have one of the few devices that are new enough to support the 802.11ax protocols, aka WiFi-6.

The design is pretty interesting, makes me think of a Death Star fighter in a Star Wars sequel. 😜

His testing measured thruput, download speed from a local server to a client, of up to 60 MegaBytes per second. That can only work with a Gigabit connection from server to router, as that thruput is already approaching 600 Mb/s.

I personally like and use wired networks for any static device; desktop, smart TV, media box, I would wire them all. But this is neat. 😃

What do you all think? A bit pricey, but it's coming.

@freemo

I have just sent a DM to someone posting a new topic, along the lines we have been discussing here.

Sent via Direct Message, so it's private and not embarassing. I used the following text:

" (user handle(s) at the top)

Hello, good afternoon.

We have been discussing some issues in a thread here, could you scan thru it? It's relevant and important.

Thank you!

@alice@playvicious.social Great photo, Alice, poor kitty.

I read it as he wants out too. 😛

Reminds me of Maneki-Neko!

The post/replies editor in Friendica also has many new options we don't have yet in Mastodon.

It seems a pretty neat environment; we just need to get used to it and learn the new options and functions.
