>> Unloading tabs is cool ^^

Yep, I agree.

But with Waterfox here, I have 99 open at this moment, and all is well, still have memory left.

No machine of mine ever runs Chrome. For years now, maybe 8 or more.

@kaiyou

Merci, kaiyou!!!

That solved the problem. Wonderful, thank you.

@globcoco -- you might want to look at this topic, a problem in the default display on Write.Freely!

Copy kaiyou's code snippet into your personal account, Customization box. Save and voilá!

@tedomum @angedestenebres @matt

@realcaseyrollins Yes, thank you!

I have almost 7 Thousand posts here, and don't take it lightly, they are meaningful to me and to others.

I am fully engaged in activism and education, and have left communities in the past where I was Staff, and had over 5,000 posts. Never returned, although my profile and posts are still there.

Here, I wouldn't want to lose my posts, but would reduce my presence substantially.

and send followers pointers, they already see and follow my new active accounts at GlitchSocial and now FAB instance.

@realcaseyrollins
Not leaving yet, but giving serious notice.

30 days, and after that the bulk of my work will be elsewhere.

I have already moved all my Publishing to GlitchSocial, for sheer annoyance with vanilla Mastodon.

Freemo has a project in mind, but I am making it public that I would like some progress on that. Soon, the better.

30 Days Notice....

Banned for Markdown Love, and getting it.

Various places offer it, right now.

Moving, it's not a Rent unpaid issue, just general dissatisfaction with Mastodon's lack of features, slow evolution. etc.

#Qoto #Pleroma #Love 4 Me #GlitchSocial too.

#rgxJournal on the move.

* Memories - Starting in Computing, in the 70's *

* Programming, can be Fun or Frustrating

A recent conversation, which started naturally once I saw Klimi's post - https://qoto.org/@k11m1/104185799277317896 :

> *sigh*.... Why code can't run without errors on the first go....

My response to this simple statement was a long reply -- https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104186568289439361 , which I thoroughly enjoyed writing, and now forms the body of this page.

As usual, I love Writing, and this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.

That is the Topic of today's Blog --> https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/memories-starting-in-computing-in-the-70s .

*This post is dedicated to @absturztraube@fedi.absturztrau.be and the FAB community -- https://fedi.absturztau.be/ , so were so gentle and welcoming when I joined FAB yesterday.*

>> This tools would have been great if I was on windows...

as clearly noted, all applications can be found in similar tools in all other op systems. Just look for them.

And please report back -- so others will know.

@zleap

@zleap HTML coding not required or recommended in discourse.

Simply copy and paste the image.

on right side preview of pos, click on image. Select original size, 100%, or 75% or 50% with a single click.

html is too arcane and obtuse for daily use.

also -- the Import tool will brign in an image from your own machine, or from a URL anywhere, without need for downloading it first.

#NewUser #Tips #Discourse #Forum is quite nice. #rgxJournal

@zleap I would suggest a better course.

* a simple graphics editor is a Must Have tool for any serious contributor. Along with a nice Text editor and a good file manager, so we can store and retrieve things with ease, organize and all.

Tools that I use and suggest -- Keep in mind that I am a seasoned Windows Server admin, and love #Windows10; not productive at all in Linux, although I recognize Unix is tops.

All recommendations are for Windows platform. Equivalents for other O.S.es abound.

* Image Editor -- the wonderful Irfanview does it for me. All. The. Time. Simple and powerful. Free. Does software get any better than that simple description?

https://www.irfanview.com/ for details and downloads. Get the Plugins package there too!

* Text Editors - these are like Religions, and equally charged discussions will come alive when what's best is discussed. Without opinions offered on others, EditPad Lite is the one I use and recommend.

https://www.editpadlite.com/

* File Manager -- essential, can't live without it. Used various over the past 30 years of intensive life in Computing. Nowadays the Windows 10 Explorer is good and daily used here.

Excellent ones can be found and used. Honours mention to MultiCommander, I use the x64 bit version.

#FediReporter ToolKit explained. Blog post upcoming!

@globcoco Ooops sorry -- I delete/redrafted the post you replied to.

Switching the URL from Pinafore search to qoto local one.

Yes, it's here --> https://qoto.org/web/statuses/104189418692709660

...and it has links to earlier conversations with @Full_marx as well.

Got it into my editor and starting to create a yarn, for the Blog version.

Will announce that when ready.

And a reminder to any readers, local here at Qoto or remote, anywhere, that if you have a Git account, you could consider commenting in this Suggestion if you found the proposal worthwhile.

Explained in detail in the Git submission, and in more layman terms in our Discourse Forum topic here :

https://discourse.qoto.org/t/mastodon-screen-use-in-wide-screen-displays-a-search-for-better-results/280

If you feel this is a worthy cause --> Your support of the suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you!

#rgxJournal for Better #UI #UX in Fediverse.

And today's Web Magazine topic will be...

Already written, and just begging for publishing.

@pschwede My #Pleroma Love Instance Suggestions thread on the Top. Yeah1!! :😋

@globcoco @hansw

Oui, j’ai un cœur et une âme européens, semble-t-il -- je le sens fortement quand je suis là, c’est difficile de retourner en Amérique du Nord.

Je n’ai eu Français classes que pendant deux ans, en tant que sujet à l’école primaire; Je peux comprendre beaucoup plus, lire, que je ne pouvais parler ou écrire. Mais c’est une belle langue.

En voyageant dans ma patrie ancestrale bien-aimée, le Portugal, j’ai rencontré et conversé avec des gens de nombreux pays.

Un matin, je me suis même engagé dans une conversation, dans une jolie petite auberge à Lisboa, avec un couple Français, non scénarisé et sans aide par la traduction; c’était amusant.

Et je leur ai dit que j’aimais même les entendre, les sons et la fluidité de la langue.

Il m’a dit que oui, c’était comme des petits oiseaux gazouillant, et nous avons eu quelques rires, café et apprécié un bon moment.

#rgxJournal pouquoi non?
