@rastinza Hehe, never a bad thing to live in one of those 2 countries. I speak from experience of one of those at least. ;)

@faticake Most keyboards here are set to US International... which is outright terrible for programming. The " (quote) is a deadkey. 😒

No, I don't want freaking ä ë ï ö ü !!!

And not to mention of the á é í ó ú and the à è ì ò ù.

Though I can make a ç with the ' and the c. ñ is also possible.. heh. Alright I'm going to switch back to US layout now. :P

@rastinza Whoa. O.o
Did the interview itself go well at least?

@faticake I'm so glad the Dutch keyboards never became mainstream. But I do dislike the keyboards with the L-shaped enter key which does seem common around here.

@cweickhmann Sure thing, I'm just expanding on your experiences with some explanation. :)

An additional tip for anyone wondering if that whole domain is bad and should be blocked:

With posts from people from outside your instance, you can click on those 3 dots below their post and select 'Open <their instance> timeline' so you can browse their instance's timeline to see if it's really a cesspool to be blocked or if it's only this one individual.

It's a Qoto feature. Feel free to use it to your advantage!

@cweickhmann You're on a server that's not blocking other instances, so you have an increased chance of encountering those lame posts, yup.

Many other instances pre-emptively block hate-related instances for you. Qoto, however, believes that this power should be in the hands of the user.

@lydiaconwell I have absolutely not noticed this. I love the twitter refugees on our instance, they're almost all geeks and it's awesome!

On Thursdays I do the space/astronomy news -- this week featuring:

@astromecanik Neat! I'm a fan of roguelikes as well. My oldest experience is with ADOM which was available on DOS. :D

@wood I always disliked chess when I was young (my older sister would always win :P) but I absolutely liked checkers, that was fun and sorta chaotic!

@norasguidetothegalaxy That's a pretty cool video! And you seem to speak clearly because the auto generated subtitles were pretty good. I hope you could add real subtitles in the future for us hard of hearing and deaf folks? It'd be so great! Thanks! :)

provocative comment on mass graves, war 

@Pat I thought the modern human evolved about 300k years ago? Neanderthalers a bit earlier, a little over 400k years? We're definitely not millions of years old! And last I checked, dinosaurs didn't use fire!

@feditips Indeed! Qoto just upgraded servers to accomodate the growth!
