In my mind BLM isnt really something to mock overall. Its an important voice.

But as I said in their mocking they did manage to reveal a disurbing thread of group think that ultimately makes them easy to manipulate as a group. And its not really even a BLM specific thing, its activists as a whole right now.

That could possible complement my usual New User welcome message with important Guides links -- for someone who wants to understand what this new place is.

I loved the Guide on the first link, and it's still current and awesome 3 years after publishing.

Hello, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :

"I made this video awhile back to help explain how the #Fediverse works."

@design_RG Eugen is your BDFL if you want to keep using Fediverse+ I mean Mastodon, then you had better get used to it.
@freemo I think your 'switch to pleroma' idea sounds pretty good.
@zleap Idk why but the archetypal Mastodon user is obsessed with getting this feature even though they want mastodon to be a twitter clone even though they don't like actual twitter.

As of today the delete account feature has been re-enabled on #QOTO. You no longer need to email a moderator to have your account deleted.

As some of you know we had previously removed this account because many users complained when they could not recover their account later. Since this feature provides ample warning we feel that mistake is on the user and ultimately this is overall a good decision.

Please be careful when using this feature and be aware of the consequences.

@design_RG @freemo
Well this is on my personal blog, to add context, I am posting about various topics e.g freecodecamp or code club and saying I am happy to be contacted here on Mastodon.

This is due out Tuesday, hence scheduled

@thecosmicawakening

Always happy to thoughtful and respectful consideration of ideas is the cornerstone of qoto. We are a place for discussion, debate, and ultimately changing our minds and learning. This isnt a place for preaching and i love that about qoto too, its why i created it.

@design_RG

@2ck Well I have something like 150+ projects on my github. So it would be a pretty big list to compile every project I own of any kind. So let me just list some of the more popular ones.

Aparapi (Java) - it reverse engineers java byte code at execution and rewrites it into a C-like language (C99) so that it can run on GPUs

Aethyr (Ruby) - A text based mud MMORPG. It runs through telnet so no client needed but runs as a ncurses stream so you get windows and and similar ncurses features

Goblin OGM (Python) - An Object Graph Mapper, basically its a way of maping python Objects to graph databases for an OO approach to working with them. It is similar to ORMs used on traditional databases in concept.

AIOGremlin (Python) - A wrapper around Gremlin, a Graph Database driver. It adds Asynchronous IO

ROES (Hardware/C/Assembly) - Stands for Rediculously Over Engineers SWR meter. Its a Atmel based SWR meter that has some of the functionalities of a Network Analyzer as well. Analyzes the properties of antennas in real time.

Ferma (Java) - A similar project as Goblin OGM above but this time for Java

@freemo ok, but the batteries are already on modular PCBs and they already connect to the motherboards using molex picolock connectors (groups of 4 cells each), so you could just do that modification you want, actually. we had these pouch cells in Reform 1, i'm very familiar with them, and we dropped them because there are no standard sizes and they are not trivial to connect. you have to use point welding or stamp holes and screw to a terminal. you also would need custom fixtures for them.
