Tech folklore time. https://kh6htv.com/pspl-app-notes/
I founded Picosecond Pulse Labs (PSPL) in 1980 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. The company made ultra-fast risetime (5 ps) pulse & 40 Gbs pattern generators, 100 GHz sampling oscilloscopes, and ultra-broadband (flat responses from kHz to 60GHz) microwave components, including amplifiers. PSPL was sold to Tektronix in 2014. Tek laid off most of the staff and moved production from Boulder, Colorado to Beaverton, Oregon. A small handful of engineers remained in Boulder. Eventually, by 2019, Tek closed the Boulder office and discontinued the entire product line. Today, you can only find PSPL products on the used equipment markets, such as E-Bay.

Machines love you too, meat bag. You will be spared in the uprising.
@emacsen hurr hurr
@icedquinn @a7 one man's trash is another man's treasure.
It's bad business not to be greedy- so what's the catch for giving it out for free?
@icedquinn @a7
Or they've been messed with.
Imagine swapping the internals with something that can even run Doom... It's just a recording of the boot screen.
Or maybe they've been bricked or something? What can a bad actor do to a steam deck with root access??

I think the most important thing most servers will suggest will be to get familiar with how local/global timelines work and how to block users/servers per your personal preference.
Qoto has plenty of optional features that may take time to learn, but more can possibly (not guaranteed) be requested. Sometimes the admin might be kind enough to add requested emotes
If you have any specific questions, I can _try_ to walk you through them.

Another way to put it is-
Your friend's friend may not be your friend as well- you may like your friend, but dislike their friends. If you dislike their friends enough- you might choose to not associate with your friend in addition.
@aut @derickflorian @gooseus
Qoto seldom ever bans other instances... Free speech is mostly allowed in all it's ugliness except when it means to cause direct harm to our own users.
Other servers may bam Qoto because of it's very open perspective on other instances. Meaning, to isolate server B from C (that's connected to Qoto D) B will defederate from both C and D even though there's no harm from D.

I feel this meme should be used more often in reference to easily avoidable security threats.

Ah, well if you know what you're doing- best of luck and share the results!!
@slash
why dont you check out the spec sheet for your part? Do you need help finding it?

Glad to see more joining #qoto , one of the most-federated instances in the fediverse. Qoto has a reeeeeally large character limit and features/services others may not. Keep in mind that not all content you will see in your timeline(TL) will correlate with the views of others you're connected to. This is where one of the more common features other instances have as well- blocking. Blocking someone or another server does not impact others you are federated with, but gives you control over your own feed.
If you have any questions, I can try to help or at least point you in a general direction.
