@rastinza ah ok I was telling you what you already know 😂 sorry!

I haven't used git hooks before but it sounds like they fit your case well, and I'll have to remember to check them out for myself too 🤭 hope it works out!

I wonder, though, whether we'll find a more efficient route to a healthier society?

The Surgeons' Hall Riot happened #OTD in 1870. The Edinburgh Seven arrived at Surgeons' Hall to sit their anatomy exam and were met by a crowd of male students and several hundred onlookers who opposed of women studying medicine. Not to be deterred the women went on to sit their exam.
After not being allowed to graduate at the time the group were posthumously awarded their medical degrees from Edinburgh University in 2019.

Is the world ready for mass migration due to climate change?
With up to three billion people expected to be displaced by the effects of global warming by the end of the century, should it lead to a shift in the way we think about national borders?

Keeping my tradition of painting octopuses on the bottoms of tables in hotel rooms alive 😀

@obi thanks for that, I think you might be right!

It looks like markdown isn't supported equally across the , so I might try to avoid using it too much after all as that could lead to miscommunications. I suppose I could test out some syntax like this...

Perhaps the most useful bits are *italic*, **bold**, and `inline code`. I could also try another _italic_ and another __bold__.

- bullets can be `-`, `+`, or `*`
+ so I could test them like this
* something else to consider would be [links](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlin)

So perhaps we can look at this post from various portals and see what we see?

I love that supports ! Is there a guide somewhere as to what flavour / syntax subset to use?

I also noticed that the same markdown message renders differently in the official android app vs the browser, or on different qoto.org urls, for instance. Does anyone know why that might be?

@rastinza I do some work like you describe, and I don't know how I'd live without **git**. the version control is one thing, but to address your issue, it's extremely easy to synchronize between different copies of local repositories once your git repo is hosted somewhere

the general workflow is as follows...
* **write** code on your local system (e.g. laptop), using whatever tools you desire
* **commit** your code to your local repo for version control
* **push** those commits to a remote host (many are available, my workplace uses gitlab and I've not had a problem with that)
* `ssh` to your compute server or similar
* **pull** your commits from the remote host to the server

this works very easily for a single developer, but also scales to more complex cases where multiple folks are contributing to the code

you also get all the version control benefits of being able to see when exactly which changes were made and revert things if need be. commit messages are also great to leave your future self a comment as to why you made a certain change

there's a learning curve with git, but only minimal knowledge is needed to get started and see the benefit, so I can definitely recommend getting familiar with git!

@mofumofu no worries, glad it was useful, and also good for me to get my little bite of French practice for the day!

@mofumofu bonjour et bienvenue! pardonnez-moi, le français n'est pas ma langue natale, mais je vais essayer d'expliquer ce que j'ai appris récemment...

Bjr Twitter. La jeune photographe iranienne Forough Alaei (qui a fait un séjour en prison) a le chic pour raconter le décalage entre la société iranienne et ses normes, montrer l’absurdité des contraintes morales qui pèsent sur tous mais en particulier sur les femmes.

Looking forward to finding others interested in how the mind works. And curious to see what kind of discussions Mastodon will create!
