One more. Plus Wikipedia info for this wonderful breed.

"The Maine Coon is the largest domesticated cat breed. It has a distinctive physical appearance and valuable hunting skills. It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America..."

I just remembered a fascinating post on the history of the number sign which I thought everyone would appreciate:

Also, two other good posts from the same blog:

A Better Browser possibly ?

Always looking for good alternatives. Will NOT use Chrome or even most of it's siblings. Exception, MS Edge new gen, but that is for special use cases only.

Now I found an interesting alternative to consider.

Waterfox is my all purpose and wonderfuly stable and fast browser. But LibreWolf seems intriguing too.

From LibreWolf Documentation

This project is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox

LibreWolf is designed to minimize data collection and telemetry as much as possible. This is achieved through hundreds of privacy/security/performance settings and patches. Intrusive integrated addons including updater, crashreporter, and pocket are removed too

LibreWolf is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products.

Features :

Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates.
Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser.
No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default.
User settings updates — We keep up with gHacks-user.js and pyllyukko’s user.js
Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions.
Multi-platform
Community-Driven

LibreWolf Home page. Available now for Linux, a Windows port is planned. Things to improve modern web life.

#FediReporter Tech update.

Reviewing it soon if I can get a linux machine running to my liking. #Manjaro seems the one!

New Discuss Forum now open at Koyu.space !

Wonderful to see a new Forum up and available for people — Thank you Leonie and Zack.

I just saw your reply to a comment in mastodon/Pleroma messages, and was glad to see you got it installed and running.

And it’s even a new type of Forum, I have used Discourse quite a bit recently but not seen Discuss. Looks good and has the essentials for me, that are so sadly missing in Mastodon in most cases:

enhanced text formatting as desired (here with MarkDown and BBcode supported).
In-line image placement, we can place an image anywhere in a post; not only at the end of it, like in normal mastodon practice.
Longer posts are no problem.

My first impressions are good — as I write this, I find the interface light and responsive, easier to use than Discourse which uses the two pane, side by side mode by default.

A Forum with all these features you described is basically as good as a Blog page for rich content posting. And CAN be used as a Draft building area for posts, later easily copied and pasted into the blog host.

I do use the Discourse forum like that sometimes, and a well crafted post can be directly imported into my Write.Freely blogs.

Forums add the Commenting that WF doesn’t have at this time (intentional, as they prefer to keep all ‘social distractions’ out of it).

Will be telling friends and posting about this.

Thanks for adding it, Leonie and Zack. Feels good!

Choices are Good.

While in vanilla Mastodon world, getting an admin to consider allowing more than the miserable 500 characters maximum toot size is a Tall Order -- I tried a few times, and was denied almost always, in more Advanced places we see innovation and openness.

Was just surprised to find not the Usual TWO choices of Front Ends (user interfaces, or web clients) at one of the Pleroma instances I have accounts on.

At expired.mentality.rip, admin @a1batross now has 4 (FOUR!) choices at your disposal.

Pick between :

Pleroma FE, high polish, and full featured.
Mastodon FE, the usual web client most mastodonians will feel at home in.

Plus -- and this is all his customizing :

Bloat FE
And the brand new SoapBox FE, which just released it's 1.0 version.

I had seen SoapBox at other instance and been impressed. And it's nice to see it now available at FAB, EMR, jaeger.website and probably other places too.

Congrats to @a1ba and @alex !

#rgxJournal for notes, Blog page coming soon.

Very clever, random anarchist.

More Cat Photos? Always welcome.

And once again, Thanks are due to Casey Rollins!

...who just sent me a pointer to another Cat lover posting images.😺

[ CW -- he's got some adult content, all under cw's. Tasteful, not trashy. ]

Which I am now editing and adding to the Discourse Forum topic and my own Blog post about Feline Photos Posters.

Casey also pointed to Catgram.jp -- a Japanese mastodon instance which seems to be the Instagram of Japanese Neko culture!

...where I found some other accounts in the Profile Directory, all cat lovers posting Feline beauty snaps.

@realcaseyrollins -- Thank you.

A couple of nice snaps from cks's photo stream attached.
