Can someone help in changing this image into a 50kb png and share it with @freemo ? Would love to have this emoji in this site 😂😂
@freemo @Karthikdeva @Full_marx @iakshay @design_RG
Shows my decision to join QOTO was a well chosen one. And oh, the STEM affinity too.
Hi I am Samanvay, software coolie based out of Bangalore. I love STEM and hate Modi JI #Introductions
For those of you who missed the announcement from the @freemo account just wanted to reiterate it here.
In honor of our new Indian friends we added two new emoji to the server.
Also if anyone has any emoji they want added, even if its just for personal use (like a monogram of your name or a picture of your own face, anything) we can add it. Just send a 50kb or less PNG image to @freemo and it can be added.
All my new Indian
friends who found their way here this week (and others).
Dont forget to do two things to help you get some followers:
1) write a post about yourself, include as many hashtags as you ca think of along with the #introductions tag and a paragraph or two. I will reboost these
2) Go into your profile settings and opt-in to the proile directory. This ensures people can find you. It also helps if you add the same tags from your introduction post to your description in your profile. These tags help index you in the profile directory
3) Stay active and post interesting stuff (and some stuff relevant to STEM). If you do then on friday I will share your account in Follow Friday and help get you more followers as well.
@Full_marx @iakshay @design_RG Wow, if you're blocked for simply being a 'right-winger' then that sucks! But if you didn't follow their community guidelines then i can understand. I'm sure @freemo won't do such things, for no Apparent/Valid reason.
I have no prior knowledge of low level programming.
My question to all.
Should I jump straight into Rust ?
or should I do C, C++ in order to fully understand the abstractions in rust?
@seb @freemo @jump_spider -- please help and do tag pro coders and builders like yourself (I don't wanna waste all my time here discussing politics, need to make friends with knowledgeable people).

ps - where do i donate to qoto
Reading Permanent record, autobiography of Edward Snowden.There is an intresting bit when he talks about Intelligence agencies & tech industries.The very belief that they are entitled to their unilateral decision making based on data,makes them apolitical as data itself is just information.The idea of harmless surveilance or surveilance for greater good?
Makes me feel vulnerable when one pours out into the digital world,someone is just calling it data & putting a label on you & uses it in a way profitable to them.Imagine tweeting feeling sad tonight after a break up & netflix suggests me Always be my may be😐 and Google suggests best shops that sell cookie dough near by.They know me too well.🙊
Its like they put a label on my feeling & advertise it."swapy is sad & would probably eat cookie dough today & watch netflix😣."
The otherside to this is the assumption that since I posted it, I gave them permission to use this data.But do most people even read the license agreement or data usage policies?People just click accept.I didnt agree to sell my sadness 😑.These tech companies are merging all the time.Google has taken over so many that google knows more about me than I do.Its like If I die, the google me would go on living, inactive till they archive me.creepy digital existance?
This book is a gem.Especially for people from a country like India where the Data protection laws are virtually non existant.
@freemo This instance is really nice! I have always wanted to be a part of a community like this to discuss and learn the developments of STEM field. Also one can talk about various subjects here! Thank you for it!
What a huge spike at #QOTO. 723 new users in less than a week.
All the new STEM posts I'm seeing popping up are amazing and its also great to meet so many new people.
As many of you know they are largely from India
and I for one amd enjoying all the new culture and perspectives they are bringing.
Its great being a part of this community and seeing it grow.

Learning #python and seeing the huge bandwidth of applications that it can have. Even in the field of Production Engineering.
Those who are a master in Python (or for that case in any other Programming languages), how did you take the approach of learning it?
I am currently undergoing a Course on Udemy!
I love Guix's idea of transaction management and rollback. I look forward to see how this particular Linux Distribution is going to evolve. They are off to a good start!

@licho I looked into Qoto, and like the extended word-limit and LaTeX support. How is the environment there?
