@stux What do you mean what choice you have? You have a whole bunch of choices (presuming you were able to vote in the USA)..... I dont understand that statement.

We have 4 candidates on our ballots... not 2....

@stux Really? Wow, I never would have thought you could support someone like Biden, yikes.

I honestly would have expected you to lean towards a candidate more in line with european ethics than someone like biden...

@coldwave That seems like a weak counterargument "dairy is nutritious therefore we should have it in your diet" isnt a band aid for a bad diet, so much as a good argument for it to be a part of any diet.

The thing is, dairy provides several nutrients that would be hard (though not impossible) from even a diet with veggies in it, unless you are mindful enough to pick veggies that specifically carry the wanted vitamins and minerals. Regardless if you eat your veggies or not having nutritiously rich variety in any diet is obviously the ideal.

Ive got a new version of qoto coming out soon... Stay tuned, new features incomming.

@pendragon what sort of p2p file sharing do you mean? You mean when someone posts an image here how does it propagate with other instances?

@pendragon well at least you are a linux user, thats a huge step up. Yea windows 10, any windows, is a huge PITA.

Back in my early days when i still had some sympathy for windows and would code in C# .net I tried mono on linux.. that didnt last long, havent touched windows or ms products for a while now.

@pendragon My condolences :)

@2ck

I have a tendency to be straightforward and blunt regardless of what reactions I might get. For some that causes them to trust me more, for others maybe not. I'm ok with that.

As for who I'm asking... well.. everyone. It isnt a formal poll, just curious how common that line of thinking happens to be. Obviously I have a preference for large servers myself.

@mur2501

@mur2501 Even then if the admin is crafty and does it in secret you might never know.

@mur2501 To some extent I agree, but only in certain ways.. Take Facebook as an example..they are huge. That instills some aspects of trust that are well earned to some extent.. Trust they will keep the server running, can handle heavy loads on the server, and deliver uptime that is acceptable for the average user. All of which is true for facebook.

However at the same time it seems to do nothing for instilling trust with regards to privacy or exploitation. In fact, larger servers tend to be more likely to exploit their user base as they have higher costs and more information to gain from. So in that regard they are trusted less so, not more.

If a server, such as QOTO, has a large number of users (in our case 13.3K) would that make it less likely for you to want to sign up?

@wangan Hey! Great to have you.

@hansw@mastodon.social Probably two fold.

1) as an isolated environment that doesn't change much (the set of installed programs is mostly fixed) the need for standardized directories isnt quite as important. The whole reason is to avoid naming collision and when you only have one or two directories and the whole container is built ahead of time it is a non issue.

2) by having the directories at the top level there is less for a user who wants to use the container to remember, and thus less user error. So I think it mostly just makes the end users life marginally easier.

With that said, it isnt a practice I myself do, I prefer to keep to the standard directories.

@karsc96 No but let me know if you find one.

@rodolpho

@Mas Ahh cool, is that all it was. Sorry my mistake. Carry on. Can be hard to moderate languages I dont speak.

@Mas I'm not sure that uit is, I was half-asking. But it was based on the fact that you only have two followers, and 12 toots and the post appears to be about a commercial product. But due to the language barrier it can be hard to confirm.. If you say your not financially benefiting from that post then I'd say its fine for now considering your track record looks ok.

@Mas Is this spam, it is looking a bit spammy...

@CarolDanvers Cant say anything is further from the true, not that the Republicans are a solution either. But that would put us in just as bad a position as we are already in, just with some of our issues replaced with other ones.. Biden is absolutely horrific, worse than trump in many ways, better in a few, overall they are about on the same level.

The only thing that stands a hope for fixing this country would be if we actually saw the population ditch BOTH parties and start supporting third-party candidates, any of them will do. But sadly, I doubt americans are even close to capable of doing what needs to be done to fix our problems, we havent been headed in the right direction in many decades now.

@gioypi Aww thanks, I really appreciate that. It is always good to hear the principles that were important to me and led me to start this community are the very qualities that our users appreciate and it isnt just some arbitrary fediverse server they stumbled upon.

It has been great having you as well!
