@peterdrake Oh, does she sleep in there regularly?

I just find it a bit funny, nowadays you're reading a lot about dog benches and such. But in my teens we just had dogs roaming free in the house (or in the garage if they've been naughty). No benches at all.

I know that one Violet is in is more like a traveller box (we didn't have those either, but our dogs were a bit big for one anyway), but that thought just popped in my head.

@mssunshine If you want, depends whether you still like to carry out this message or not. I'm merely saying that it's not the person himself on that account.

Car on its side, no injuries 

@finity Well, it does have 2 tires on the ground. I mean, all those motorbikes do too and nobody's complaining about _those_!

@mssunshine Yes, forwarded from twitter to here. It's not him actually being here which devalues it. Unless he actually responds to questions and comments on the Fediverse, it's just.. a forwarder-bot.

@mssunshine That's just a forward-bot account as far as I can see.

@inspired Oh, that unlisted post info was for someone else. But yes, that's not uncommon actually for people to go unlisted after the initial toot. That's fine since technically it's still in the spirit of social media. :)

So, der Sonntag ist nun auch wieder vorbei.
Wir hatten mal wieder ein interessanten Tag. Ich wollte mit Ryna eigentlich hinten den Teichen etwas laufen, aber Ryna zog es vor am Bahnhof sich das geschehen anzuschauen. Zug fahren wollten sie zwar noch nicht, aber sie hat die Mensche, Fahrräder und andere Hunde einfach passieren lassen. Wenn sie beim laufen andere Hunde sieht möchte sie zwar immernoch in der anderen Richtung laufen, aber sie bleibt nun auch ohne Probleme an der Seite und lässt die Hunde passieren.
Gestern konnten wir noch testen was passiert wenn fremde Personen in nahen Umfeld sind. Nach etwas Eingewöhnung hat sich die kleine Maus dann auch noch kraulen lassen und war ganz entspannt. Da sieht man wieder das Ryna einfach nur etwas Zeit benötigt um mit der Situation klar zu kommen. Jedenfalls bin ich wieder mal Happy und Ryna hatte ein schönes Wochenende gehabt. Mal schauen was die Tage noch bringen.

@frayoshi Let's hope so. None of my Dutch acquaintances have been remotely interested in Mastodon.

Otoh... there are a LOT of official Dutch stuff that's on Twitter, and basically the only reason to be on Twitter is to be able to call them out publicly so that they have to respond... I feel very few Dutchies actually use Twitter that much for actual social media.

@frayoshi It's nowhere in the top 20 of Dutch trends. :/

@gpowerf Cool. ;)

I usually start looking into minecraft modpacks during fall season, to play for a few months. Then I eventually get bored of it and don't touch MC for months until the itch comes up again. :) It's a yearly phenomenon.

@gpowerf Mostly Trimps (I'm such a sucker for idle games) and Star Realms (I'm also such a sucker for card battle games).

Sorta played Minecraft but I'm too busy making lists of what mods this modpack uses and what they're capable of. (I'm such a sucker for lists too apparently.)

@fraize
And in the meantime I'm slowly but surely starting to outgrow what dataview itself can offer me... I have to start learning JS sometime. ;)

I have to eventually, anyway, as I might also want to look into how to make plugins, and I understand TypeScript is a fancy form of JS.

Trinsec @Qoto

@fraize Oh this involves _calculations_? Right, that's something I haven't gotten around to. I'm great at very much abusing dataview with choice() map() etc to have a varied display going, but no actual calculations (yet). ;)

@AmandaHilden Considering Qoto runs a modified version of Mastodon with many extra features added (check the About page for info on them), I actually suggest trying to use the mobile web interface instead. Many apps are made for default Mastodon and are missing out on the extras.

It's easy to pin a site to your homescreen, you won't see much of a difference with a real app because the website is already so mobile friendly.

@franziskanaja She's great! To be honest, most of the cast of DS9 was great!

@fraize How complex is the output that just dataview can't do?

I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort

and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people

sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something

it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become

I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.

@Matt_Attack
Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!

I can still recommend the mobile web interface instead of apps for this particular instance as we are on a modified Mastodon server with extra features added.

Check our About page for more details on the extra features.
