@sashahamilton Are you sure about the units? 12 mi/gal ≈ 17 km/gal, but 12 gal/mi ≉ 17 gal/km
@morre Do you mean "retcon"? From "retroactive continuity"
@freemo Nice. Not that I'll block either - I'm just in favour of techniques like this that give users more control over what content they want to see. Played a big role in me choosing this instance in the first place.
@denikombucha@playvicious.social In French, the exceptions follow the "BANGS rule": adjectives describing [B]eauty, [A]ge, [N]umber, [G]oodness, or [S]ize precede the noun, while all others follow it. I speak hardly any Spanish but I'd guess that the rules are pretty similar given how closely related these two Romance languages are.
@MutoShack@functional.cafe It's not what I'd expect naïvely, but thinking about it, skipping blank lines is probably more useful. Bring able to pipe a command's output to another's input was pretty important in old-style Unix. Since many programs treat empty lines specially, the default setting is good if you want downstream programs to act correctly.
@TheGnuMaster opposition to the Extradition Law Amendment Bill, which would expand the circumstances under which a person in Hong Kong can be sent to the mainland for trial

@mancavgeek As an Admin of #QOTO I'd like to speak on the record here.
As we make clear in out ToS we dont block other instances but we DO censor. We believe in free speech in the sense that you wont get blocked for simply holding an unpopular opinion. But anyone who attacks others, insults them, or acts aggressive towards others are, and have been banned. We do NOT tolerate racism.
As others have pointed out, none of our users are hateful or racist. On the few cases that happened it resulted in a ban.
I generally suggest people ban instances based on what they do or do not tolerate from their users, rather than some ideological response to some key words in a description.
If anyone in this thread actually knows of an example of any user on QOTO not living up to what I described please let me know, we will take care of them.
@peterdrake I guess that would be appropriate eyewear for a dog who's *searching* for something?
@bsoluco You post on your own instance. Your posts show up in the federated timeline for people on other instances.
@hasmis glacially so?
@TheOges@mastodon.social I think that lil guy could be the Ticats' updated logo
@MOTT
Hm I haven't used GNOME since v3 came out basically unusable. But searching around I see this is used to zoom partway back out after setting the scaling to 200%:
xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 1.25x1.25
@MOTT
In Cinnamon you must set "user interface scaling" correctly. Other desktop environments may differ.
