> Floppy means floppy.tokyo, this instance no longer exists.

Yep -- CD-ROM clearly outperforms Floppies. LOL.

Thank you for your comments, I agree fully.

I understand the logic, but that same undercover espionage could be done from any number of other places.

And the aggravation and damage to this instance is NOT worth it, from my point of view. I would vote to cut ties if that ever came to the table. That has been my personal account's action, and I would see it as productive to the instance.

Smaller is better it seeems -- less push and pull to consider, and an easier to maneuver ship.

I will have to create some new pages in this subject, sadly. But I should turn to my work and focus on it, something good will come out in a few hours; hopefully it will have value.

I was re-reading my blog page about Instances, and honestly, it's good work -- if people have the stamina to read it, I think they would appreciate it.

A new series is likely, the one yesterday was about GlitchSocial, then I had that conversation with you about my Pleroma instance search and the criteria used; that will fill a good page, plus introduce Pleroma well.

@Sphinx

We had a post flow by, saying they might give up on the protocols that fedi currently use, and write their own. Including a dismissive repart to some of the content , pretty homophobic.

I would see that as a positive event.

@freemo

@freemo You mentioned something yesterday, yes, but it did not make much sense, I didn't have the details.

She was online earlier this morning, and a small group chatted, then I looked back and found her topic about implementing White Listing, 26 h ago or so.

People couldn't pay for the value of the work we all put into the network and our own instances, the content we produce, publish, share.

It's deeply disturbing to me -- that those people are actually WORSE than the gab gang they prat on about. Those, I have blocked and not heard for for six months. We don't bother each other.

The fedi block gang are the undercover Fascists in action at this moment.

Despicable ass holes. pardon my language, unusual. Just too much.

@freemo It might be a hiccup or her system going off due to DOS. 😔

@freemo Thank you, I would think so too; I w there earlier and found out then; she added another instance at my request too.

@freemo is Qoto on Leonie's whitelist, do you know?

I am getting some errors in Pinafore connection.

@freemo very beautiful.

The page alone has artistic value, and the laborious process of writing it that fancily must slow down thought processes, to calm the spirit.

Thanks for sharing that. I spend hours on creating something, and it is quite pleasurable. Sometimes the author is the one who can see the deepest into it. Like software, where so much brilliant work never gets seen, other than by someone maintaining it.

In a reflective mood this morning. I am deeply affected by getting to know that Leonie is under attack.

@rgx@muensterland.social @freemo But honestly -- it surprised me when I saw it working at all!

@rgx@muensterland.social @freemo

...which, alas, Mastodon WILL render properly -- if it came from elsewhere. Pesky local users, get squashed.

@freemo As long as the [Big Meteor doesn't come](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_e).. 😟

@rodolpho It is a Latin word, and in my view the correct pronunciation is the original one -- the one you used.

I remember cringing on hearing a work colleague, who was knowledgeable in her subjects, refer to a variety of Pine -- Pinus Nigra (or black pine, translated), and MANGLE the Pinus as "Painus". Arghhhh.

Go try to tell anglos that is not correct.

@koyu is a member here at Qoto as well, and I am thankful to her for the service I also enjoy at her instance, now targeted in this way.

Cheers, friend. Hope this will resolve itself soon.

A friend has been forced to Whilelist Only their instance.

This due to people ganging up on the administrator, the arseholes in the fedi block brigade.

Stunning, elegant. Can see the screen quality clearly on the photos.

It's a free course on Coursera: coursera.org/learn/mathematica

It looks like the next start date is June 22nd. Once you enroll though, you should have access to all the content. The "due" dates are just if you'd like to follow along with the rest of the class.

Again, it might be too high level for a lot of people, but for those of us who struggle with math (i.e., me), it seems like a good transition to START the transition to higher levels of math (which still provokes a bit of anxiety, if I'm being honest). The PDFs they recommend reading prior to the first lesson are provided, and started untangling the gooblygook that is (apparently) set theory symbolism and stuff.

I feel like those 2 documents alone can help take some of the math symbolism anxiety away and turn it into something that can be broken down and understood.
