*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@social.cleverlibre.org

@users Two important / note worthy things on this post :

- QOTO just got over the 6,000 user accounts in total. 😄 Wasn;t long ago we were waiting for the 5,000 mark to be reached!

- And anyone notice a sharp spike in the graphs - near the center? No, it is not a glitch. What would have happened?

@realcaseyrollins Yes, that is important and makes a huge difference. No buzzing notifications during the night, no taking a look just to see what's going on; leave it for next day.

Sleep well and tomorrow you will have more energy and a nicer day! 😴 🌆

@realcaseyrollins off you go, straight to bed. No screens in the bedroom either. Zumzum, go. now. 😜

@angedestenebres Wonderful that TeDomum is being successful and growing, Ange. If I can help in preparing some of those translations, or otherwise, let me know.

I love to see the cooperation you all have in getting so many services freely available. Thank you!

Different responses. 👍 French Union!

The Power of Neutron Stars - SEA (Youtube)

When stars many times larger than our sun go supernova, their cores do not always collapse to form black holes. Some are not large enough to collapse to form a singularity, but instead shrink to an object the size of a city - a neutron star, which generates the strongest magnetic field in the universe. In this video, we will learn about their history, their variations, and the science behind it.

@angedestenebres Ah, wonderful, I am glad you liked it, Ange.

I really enjoyed the challenge of getting it done. Feel free to copy my translation directly into your Wiki if you like.

Very happy with my blog at TeDomun.net - Merci!

Bernie Sanders has the most youth support of any 2020 Democratic candidate. Filmmaker Michael Moore says people of his generation may "owe it to these young people to get behind the person they want." https://bit.ly/2PZMTzW

* Write.freely blog - a guide for new users *

Ange made a nice and illustrated guide for new users of Write.freely blogs, but it's all in French.

Goal is to help people interested in using the write.freely instance at TeDomum.net — which has been my blog's home. This morning I took some time and translated her guide to English.

Now the page is on my blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/write-freely-wiki-documentation

@realcaseyrollins@civiq.social @realcaseyrollins Yes, it's time consuming and difficult to bulid a totally new idea into a platform - Eugen did really well, but the work is ongoing, continues and he dedicates himself to that full time.

With school and work at the same time, it's hard for you to take on anything like that. But keep the idea and maybe mention it if you find someone who could take it on and succeed.

If you think about creating a personal instance, I would suggest GlitchSoc -- it's the cutting edge of mastodon development and has many nice new features. Like it a lot!

@realcaseyrollins@civiq.social

No, not until Opera version 12 or so -- until them, Opera had always been an independant team, pushing the envelop and innovating a lot.

Their browser was wonderful, and a favourite for Power Users at the time. Great customization option, they invented many new things now spread to other browsers, like Mouse Gestures, for example.

Part of the original Opera team left and now run the Vivaldi browser project, where they continue the tradition of catering to power user and customization galore.

Vivaldi is sadly a bit Chromium based too, it's difficult to pursue an independant rendering engine nowadays. Even Microsoft gave up on EdgeHTML, which is a very nice one.
