Hey there friend; how long since you had a glass of water or some other beverage?

Now's a good time to stay hydrated.

Take good care of yourself; a bunch of us care about you.

I'm trying to improve my Japanese by replying to everyone whose posts I understand with what I hope is both a grammatically correct and coherent reply. If you got one and can read this, please forgive me if they're neither. I don't mean to bother you or anything. My Japanese is just that terrible.

#Herbaria are such collections. They store many many samples of usually dried and pressed plants. They are basically a #library of #plant #species.
Just like a #librarian, I need to keep order in the chaos, help scientists and visitors to get access or send material on loan. I also provide help to interpret old labels, and I update and reidentify the material.

This is where I work: the #herbarium at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum in London:

The first-past-the-post system used in most of the US makes a third-party vote really damaging.

Case 1
Democrat: 101 votes
Republican: 100 votes
3rd party: 0 votes
Democrat wins

Case 2
Democrat: 100 votes
Republican: 100 votes
3rd party: 1 vote
It's a tie and decided by a coin toss

Case 3:
Democrat: 99 votes
Republican: 100 votes
3rd party: 2 votes
Republican wins

Key exceptions:
AK & ME - ranked choice voting
NY - 3rd parties cross-endorse candidates
UT - McMullin may have votes to win

I moved instances so here's a re-do of my #introduction: I'm Leah, I'm an information scientist and Ph.D. student at Western University in Canada. My current work overlaps with knowledge mobilization, collaborative sensemaking, information ecologies, complex adaptive systems, liminality and transitions. I may sometimes post about the projects I work on (I work with maps) and the creative arts I do. I'm interested in pretty much all research - I'm not saying I'm great at understanding it, though!

git has always had some kind of (often painful) solution for every problem. Until today. I'm disappointed, git.
"git mv X Y" is just shorthand for "mv X Y; git add X; git rm Y". "git log --follow" tries to guess what files are the same.

Well the spike in new users is quite obvious from this chart. Clearly the result of the Musk takeover. Lets see how long it lasts this time.

Figured I should post an #intro here for those who don’t know me! I’m Aubrey and I work as a #frontenddev at Lullabot, doing fun #drupal goodness with #css and #html. I also write #javascript sometimes, too! For fun I #knit, #run, and plan in my #hobonichi using my many #fountainpens. Give me a follow if any of that sounds interesting!

Hi #fediverse I'm a software developer in the Washington DC suburbs and am originally from Nepal (born and raised). I like talking about gadgets and phones and computers.
I joined Twitter in 2006 back when there was an option to use Twitter entirely through SMS, and I got my closest friends on boarded (and annoyed). Since then, it's gone through many iterations, the latest of which drove me off the platform entirely.

Mastodon has that early Twitter Aura and I'm here for it

Just go to any post of someone from another instance and click the triple dots. You should see the option on the bottom.

It should be similar on the mobile web interface.

This is another Qoto-specific feature.

I think there are a few reasons why it differs. Qoto is a few versions behind default Mastodon. And this also allows for putting the followed stuff in other timelines, like in one of your own lists. I'm not sure default Mastodon can do this.
