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

I am reading an article thanks to @design_RG !
And in this article, it talks about how technology has impacted our brain functions.
And this is not only technology as we know it.
The use of clock for example has influenced us in ways that changed how we relate to our own rythm and action.

I'm leaving here a small part of this great article extracted from https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-us-stupid/306868/ and send to me by @design_RG :

>In Technics and Civilization, the historian and cultural critic Lewis Mumford described how the clock “disassociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences.” The “abstract framework of divided time” became “the point of reference for both action and thought.”

>The clock’s methodical ticking helped bring into being the scientific mind and the scientific man. But it also took something away. As the late MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum observed in his 1976 book, Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, the conception of the world that emerged from the widespread use of timekeeping instruments “remains an impoverished version of the older one, for it rests on a rejection of those direct experiences that formed the basis for, and indeed constituted, the old reality.” In deciding when to eat, to work, to sleep, to rise, we stopped listening to our senses and started obeying the clock.

** Image Hosting for Forum, Mastodon and Blog Post -- Host Recommendation **

@globcoco I had to find a place to host them, as WriteFreely doesn't offer image hosting locally.

I have used different ones over the years, and back in December, when I was starting the Blog, went and spent a day looking for what's available, their features, etc.

Found PostImage.org -- and that's what I use, I love it. I can upload a file right from my File manager window..

Right-Click -- Send To -- PostImage and it takes it, uploads and gives me the URL for that image.
Copy/Paste into Blog text window.

Lovely and very productive. Simple as can be.

Here, made two screenshots, visual is always helpful -- and I will use these for my new Blogger's toolkit post when I write it.

That smaller second image, btw -- here's the URL copied from it, there's even a super handy "Copy" button right beside the URL after the upload is done.

The Small attached File is here

or, to show a naked URL :

Highly recommend this host

hello world, posting from the terminal because it's pretty handy to journal from here!

This box of floppy disks I've found certainly is from a very specific period of history. #retrocomputing

Can never have too much of this.

* Guia de Usuarios en Español para Write.freely *

Ange hizo una guía agradable e ilustrada para los nuevos usuarios de los blogs Write.freely, pero todo está en francés.

El objetivo es ayudar a las personas interesadas en usar la instancia write.freely en TeDomum.net, que ha sido el hogar de mi blog. Esta mañana me tomé un tiempo y traduje su guía al Español.

Ahora la página está en mi blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/guia-de-usuarios-en-espanol-para-write-freely

I really find it lovely how the Crossposters allow us to send and receive interesting info, across networks even.

A post I made here an hour ago or so and now is at my TW account, looking good and linking back to the source here.

Renato Lond's Crossposter is Top Notch and Recommended. It was the tool used here, and allows both ways transfers, easily.

Tw --> Masto or Masto --> Tw.

As usual, it's polite to not abuse hospitality, and check local instance rules. Some do NOT allow this kind of thing, or only allow with certain conditions.

Nobody wants Spam. But Good Content from anywhere deserves to be seen.

If your home instance is not welcome at masto.donte.com.br -- there's Moa Bridge for you
