@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!
@mathlover Story of my life! :D
On Thursdays I do the space/astronomy news -- this week featuring:
○ Hubble's 32nd anniversary!
○ JWST is allllmost entirely cooled (4 primary mirror segments to go!)
○ all DNA/RNA building blocks have now been found in meteorites
○ good-bye Axiom-1, hello Crew-4!
○ β Pic exocomets are similar to ours
○ Ingenuity investigates landing debris
@astromecanik Neat! I'm a fan of roguelikes as well. My oldest experience is with ADOM which was available on DOS. :D
@Sphinx Darn! Speedy recovery!
@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!
@fi How do you mean?
@norasguidetothegalaxy Welcome to Qoto! :)
@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!
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
