@gpowerf Mostly Trimps (I'm such a sucker for idle games) and Star Realms (I'm also such a sucker for card battle games).

Sorta played Minecraft but I'm too busy making lists of what mods this modpack uses and what they're capable of. (I'm such a sucker for lists too apparently.)

And in the meantime I'm slowly but surely starting to outgrow what dataview itself can offer me... I have to start learning JS sometime. ;)

I have to eventually, anyway, as I might also want to look into how to make plugins, and I understand TypeScript is a fancy form of JS.

@fraize Oh this involves _calculations_? Right, that's something I haven't gotten around to. I'm great at very much abusing dataview with choice() map() etc to have a varied display going, but no actual calculations (yet). ;)

@AmandaHilden Considering Qoto runs a modified version of Mastodon with many extra features added (check the About page for info on them), I actually suggest trying to use the mobile web interface instead. Many apps are made for default Mastodon and are missing out on the extras.

It's easy to pin a site to your homescreen, you won't see much of a difference with a real app because the website is already so mobile friendly.

@franziskanaja She's great! To be honest, most of the cast of DS9 was great!

@fraize How complex is the output that just dataview can't do?

I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort

and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people

sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something

it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become

I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!

I can still recommend the mobile web interface instead of apps for this particular instance as we are on a modified Mastodon server with extra features added.

Check our About page for more details on the extra features.

@Jennifaery That it is very... complex. And... variable?

Welcome to Qoto! I guarantee there are other people on this server who know more about this than I do! 😅

@spenney Just a heads up that a quote-toot isn't the same as actually responding to the person. It's making a first post (breaking any threads) and adding your comment/opinion to the quoted toot. The quoted person also doesn't get notified (unless you mention them in your comment).

@cstanhope @finity Settings > Following and Subscriptions > Following Hashtags is a very powerful feature.

@giorgiogilestro @freemo @albertcardona Can't help much with the subscribe feature (seems Qoto-only), but if you wanted a modified mastodon instance which has markdown support, maybe looking at the Mastodon Glitch fork could be interesting.

@spenney Mastodon is heavily hashtag-driven for discoverability, so yeah that'd be the way to go.

@sudorandom Sadly I can totally see that happening. :P

@bwbeach I'd tried AoC a few times too, mostly for Python. But I keep getting distracted by real life.

Maybe I should try this again but with JavaScript? Since my future needs might require more JS and it'd help if I actually knew it in the first place... 😅

@daviding @JimSpohrer That is correct, mastodon.social got slammed hard with new users. It is highly encouraged to find a smaller community suiting your needs. This way your local timeline might be more to your liking as well as mastodon.social is a 'general topics' instance.

@herid Kinda pretentious imo. Not everybody is gifted with understanding maths. Doesn't make them less human.
