@globcoco @hansw LOL, thank you!
I really had fun there, a great crowd, friendly, intelligent, sensitive. We had fast chat, the pleroma systems seem to encourage that -- when you come to mastodon it really feels. Ponderous. Slooooow....
And I saw so many people with the "banned for [insert reason here]" that I thought it was a neat idea, and joined.
Later used it here as well.
I think a lot of people can relate to this. Latest from IOPScience Website:-

You don't need to use hashtags in all posts, they are useful when applied lightly and with care.
I use a couple, as I mentioned -- and for me, nomad on the lanes of the Fediverse, they allow me to find posts no matter where. That is so very cool.
I absolutely despise the idiots (typical at instagram) that put hash tags in every word in a post; that is not only ugly, but a wasteful use of computing resources.
The idea is that hash tags will be indexed -- which requires processing time and storage. If we polute the database with noobie, senseless tags like instastooges do, it only slows down ANY searches using hash tags. Nice job, noobs. NOT.
Karl disappeared back in December, and I have missed him much, He posted a couple of toots sometime later, but that was it.
We had some great conversations -- like with you, they brought back memories and allowed me to wax poetic, which we both enjoyed. Inspirational, pleasurable. Fireside chats.
But we have to accept life's transitional nature, and ejoy the moment, while still honouring the people we remember with fondness.
You are missed, dear friend. Be well, wherever the road takes you, @Full_marx .
Russian developer and antifascist activist Viktor Filinkov has used his last word in court to explain the persecutor how #PGP encryption works.
Using email encryption does not make you a terrorist!
Email has replaced letters in lots of places. Yet, email privacy lags far behind the privacy of a letter. Today everyone understands that an email is as private as a postcard. Now is the time to act upon this knowledge:

@kev It looks really nice, and the off grey text colour is inline with the accessibility guidelines I am learning about in the free code camp course I am doing.
Keep up the good work
Like, being able to write CSS inside of a custom element without worrying about styles bleeding in or out is great. Being able to pass CSS variables in through the shadow host is great too.
Developers have said loud and clear with stuff like Vue, Svelte, React CSS-in-JS, etc. that they want scoped styles. Shadow DOM delivers that. It's just too bad that there's all this other baggage that isn't terribly useful, and can be actively harmful.
Update :
I have just finished posting a new Suggestion issue at Glitch-Social's Github.
...which summarizes the findings I described in a Forum post, and requests consideration of the idea of adding these enhancements into the Glitch-Social code base.
If that was done, and the source for Eskuero's Collapsed Mastodon is available for review and adoption, all users could benefit, without the need of using an add-on, and better compatibility with future releases as changes are made.
The Suggestion is on this page.
Having created the @Fosstodon_Bot I thought I might as well introduce myself. My day job is being Pool Operator and Inspector. While at night I run a web-hosting service. Overall I'm not a interesting person. I just like to take things that aren't broken, break them to see how then work, and put it back together with duct tape.
@hansw I have planted a veggie garden here at home this year; have done it in the past, but not when I am on extensive travel, as it requires care.
Went looking for little plants and the garden centers are pretty much bare -- one lady at one told me they had a lot of people who never did this before, now coming to get plants for food growing.
Resulting in unexpected shortage. Still haven't found the swiss chard I wanted. Other plants are in the ground, weather has been good this week.
I just did a test search, after being so surprised when someone pulled a whole thread out of thin air -- with the words "family tree" only.
OMG -- Full text search? on mastodon that is so freeking rare.
On Pleroma she pulled it off easy.
On a smaller instance, ok. On FAB, where my new account is, the same search got results as far back as 3 weeks.
Amizingly, it showed one of Hans's posts, done here on qoto, seen and indexed, retrieved on FAB easily.
@globcoco You know me TOO Well.
Yes, it is — I was just entering the house, back from a bike ride, and was thinking.
That I found a new Home here.
@absturztaube is wonderful.
Off to bed now.
Today has been quite tiring.
Just last question which I'll look tomorrow:
Is there a functionality on Pina that can bring in dicussions you may have had with a person.
I've tried the search button but I don't think that would be it.
When I want to write a toot I sometimes forgot something that someone said or the interaction that happened... and that I missed on or anycase that could happen in between.
So if anyone knows about this super functionality I'm all ears... or would be... tomorrow 😴
😊
@globcoco I have had loads of bad teachers in my time. Good ones too, and in some cases exceptionally good at their job.
It took me a few days and some nice encouragement from @design_RG but I have done my about page.

By the way, does anyone who uses write.as would know how to move around the pinned posts (which thus become pages)?
