@joaopinheiro there is a violent thunderstorm right now. I intend to sleep with the windows open
@aleksi Its really great to have you on QOTO. Looking forward to getting to know you.
I never joined Twitter or really posted on Facebook. I'm somewhat of a private person, not wanting to expose myself to too much online. But Mastodon reminds me of "old internet" by being a bit clunky and complicated to use, which I hope selects for the people that I tend like.
I used to work as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, but moved back to Europe and wanted to do something different. Currently I'm studying physics and math, hoping to complete a master's degree by 2024.
I'm here looking for insightful or helpful interactions around topics
of #physics, #math and #programming. I'm also looking for a place to toot my horn a little about personal projects and things I've learned, since many of my interests are too esoteric for my real-life friends.
@joaopinheiro bedtime for me, but you too!
@internic It is something I am very happy to do.
@freemo Merry Christmas, and thanks for playing Santa this year and giving all of us new users here the gift of QOTO! It's very much appreciated.
@joaopinheiro ryle is doing well, hope you feel better :(
@mathlover Glad to hear it.. hope it was a wonderful holiday
@richtong Hey hows it going. I'm out in Israel so not much of a christmas vibe out here, I do miss it.
#joinin If anyone needs someone to chat with, im here.
@herid QOTO was the first non-misskey instance to get it. But it was already an established standard under misskey and now other servers that implemented it also follow their standard.
@herid There is an established standard for QT, QOTO follows it. If mastodon implements it one should hope they follow the already established standard, we shouldnt have to change anything.
@tonic You too!
Merry Christmas to all of #qoto - still my favorite local timeline merry Christmas to @freemo still my favorite pachyderm admin merry Christmas to whomever sees it and happy Hanukkah for folks that celebrate it (like we do here!) and happy holidays to everyone that’s working front line jobs and happy holidays to those that aren’t working front line jobs but have to work these days anyway ❤️
@illandan You're welcome, and merry christmas to you too.

@mur2501 Yea he is rediculous.. I asked if he wanted to join the UFoI. Explained it to him and showed him the website... somehow thats "lying" and "praying on him...
What he is mad about is all his friends blocked him when he joined, so now he needs to act like I tricked him so they will play with him again.
