@namark LOL... 😜

@namark
Thanks, namark, I pointed someone to our Terms of Service and Code and Conduct, and the response was indeed not in accordance with our expectations.

I could just silence her, but sent a report and will let our moderation team decided.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

* Window 10 FREE upgrade for Windows 7 or 8 Registered users ! *

Microsoft is still allowing Windows 7 and 8.x users to upgrade their systems (which must be activated) for __*FREE*__ to a Windows 10 of the same family.

Someone running Windows 7 Home, Home Premium or Ultimate can go thru it, and have a legal and Activated Windows 10 Home digital license at the end. A Windows 7 or 8 Pro install will upgrade to a Windows 10 Professional, fully licensed.

I have done it, twice, in recent days. And it's EASY, anyone can do it.

On today's web magazine, live at : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/win-10-free-upgrade-for-registered-users

@Sharondee Hello!

You can find a lot of details about this instance and the services we offer at https://qoto.org/about/more

I would quote a paragraph that is relevant, it's in the "Rules" section of that page.

"We are all adults here, act like it. Despite our belief in freedom of expression (free speech) we want to create a space where people are respectful to each other. Don't disrespect people; if they disrespect you then block them and move on. If we get a report on one of our users then an administrator will reach out to the parties involved and try to mediate a peaceful resolution. We will talk it through like mature adults. Lets remember there is a person at the other end of the screen, if we can be mature in real life we can do it here too."

@maison_faim Read, write a bit. Sleep, watch a film. If the weather is good, go out and enjoy?

Mid January is not the best time of the year, but free time is precious.

@realcaseyrollins Checked it and it shows it's been down lately. https://fediverse.network/birdsite.monster

@rvlobato Yes, I thought it was quite positive, and plan to write a blog post telling people this migration option is there, it's free and easy to do.

Will mention the KDE project and the link you provided too -- options are god, and Linux is technically a superb choice. TY!

@puzzl Wonderful, I am glad you liked the Discourse Forum! I think it has great potential, it complements Mastodon well.

Enjoy these, Puzzl.

@snow I find that very important too - there are some instances allowing 1000, 10,000 and up to 65,000 characters like Qoto does.

And then there are the cramped places with the 500 Chars limit and system admins, who possibly because of having been Twitter users for years and used to the soundbyte culture there, don't see the need for more.

And denied me when asked about increasing it.

Definitely a limitation I do not enjoy.

@maison_faim Nice to have free time, isn't it?

Enjoy it, MF.

@realcaseyrollins You can get away for a day or two or three -- but that deficit will accumulate and there's a price to pay. Sleep 8 hours if you can, or as much as possible.

I do get agitated and get up if waking and not feeling like sleeping. With the darkness of Winter it's not nice out, I leave the curtains closed and just get into the computer and resume reading, replying and other activities.

Then a few days later you wake up feeling drained, and need to take time off and do little, to recover some of that lost sleep. Regular schedule is better, avoid electronics near bed or looking at any devices in middle of night if you wake up.

@SecondJon wow, well done, Jon!! Hard core, to be out in that kind of weather, and to run that much. 👍

@realcaseyrollins Good morning, Casey. What happened to the site - is it gone, what happened?

Alternative Pinafore instances :

* https://pina.todon.nl/

* https://pinafore.eldritch.cafe/

* https://pinafore.cybre.space/

Beta Development instance :

* https://dev.pinafore.social/

Never met Pinafore, want more info?

Author's Blog : https://nolanlawson.com/2018/04/09/introducing-pinafore-for-mastodon/

* Suggestions, comments, requests? @pinafore@mastodon.technology

And it Supports Pleroma Nodes as well!!

Thanks Nolan, great work! 🙂

* You CAN run more than one instance of Pinafore. Not by opening another tab into the same website :

the default is https://pinafore.social

* BUT -- if you know of another site hosting a copy of Pinafore, you CAN open that one. It will be a new account, it doesn't know of any of your already stored credentials or preferences.

* but now you can keep them running with one instance in one tab, a diff one on another tab.

Some users in #Fediverse already know about how good and fast the Pinafore client is.

A web hosted, static site -- you load the site and login, it authorizes with your instance, which requests your permission.

Besides being Light and Fast, Pinafore is smooth running, has a lot of colour options, supports Multiple Instances with easy switching between one and the next. Couple clicks, you are into the other account, using it's colours, etc.

Better than one Pinafore ? Just two maybe?
