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.
I think I'm gonna use a dictionary of some sort to understand this:

@design_RG @pixelfed Love to go into glitch but somehow feels complicated for non-techies like myself...

@freemo Well done, very good.
And excellent work on implementing that feature, new in non-Japanese instances (in Nippon they created that for Misskey).
I was honoured that you pursued this feature to serve my own nomad lifestyle, lol, but I need the real thing, to join and post as a Local in any instance I am interested it is my modus-operandi.
Thanks to the power and flexibility of the great Pinafore client for Fediverse instances, each of my current 11 or so are ONE click away; I do keep various tabs of Pinafore open, with the most frequently used instances loaded in each.
As I have stated and explained before, this is a personal choice, for a inquiring mind and mid to advanced level users. Not for the average user, who is better served by locating one good instance and staying with it.
Qoto.org has Many good things, and that is the reason I volunteer and put many hours and thousands of posts here.
But that's only one side of me; and I have interests that make having various accounts desirable; and I act on them, as you know.
This morning I am connected and actively communicating from 3 instances atm; each with a focus and local feature set that makes it interesting and useful.
But the feature you are referring to, and which got endorsed by a well created poll, is not an important one for me (reasons stated above).
Getting a better software instance is Number one -- I am moving to Glitch-Social as much as possible. Pleroma awaits a thorough evaluation, which I plan to publish in my Blog.
Enhanced text formatting is so satisfying that I dread anytime I post something significant -- like this very post, which I will use as part of a Blog, real soon -- in an instance which doesn't off me that.
I remain a user here, but Nomad is my heart.

@design_RG @pixelfed
At 1st i thought you talked about this:
https://glitch.com/
I was confused...
Love the "jeu de mot": #Glitch Does what #mastodont 😘
@dansup
Hello. I was wondering if Pixelfed could work as an alternative to https://alternativeto.net/software/postimage-org/.
I like its open source vibe and your great ethic 😊
Long post
@design_RG Nice reviews: https://alternativeto.net/software/postimage-org/reviews/
As I'm on linux, I am going to find if there is another one.
Could @pixelfed be used for this?
I'm going to find out.😀

Ok -- how to :
* Pinafore in one Tab, with Qoto selected as the active instance. Call this Tab 1.
* Pinafore in a second tab, with [other instance with less Search power] loaded as active instance. Call this Tab 2.
If you need to find something from a Text search do this :
* jump into Tab 1. Select Search.
* Do it, and you will find any results Qoto has on file. Aha -- there it is.
* click on the Dot menu on that result post
* and select "Copy link to Toot"(screenshot added here).
Now you have the URL for that relevant toot!
* jump into Tab 2, and use it.
* you can insert the URL into Tab 2 Search field
* it will retrieve the Toot, and now you can Boost, Reply, Favourite, etc.
Or simply insert the Toot URL you already got, from Tab 1, into a new post or reply in Tab 2.
Voilá, c'est ça.

Btw if you don't use snap.as how do you manage to put images on your blogs?
@design_RG Thanks a lot for this.
I'm going to plunge myself into this and write.as and do some concentrated work😉
@design_RG @freemo
I don't know if I understood this well😜
@design_RG ☺️ Thanks a lot
@design_RG @freemo Is it possible to use it without using too much resources?
@design_RG @freemo
Yes I have a lot to learn...
@design_RG @freemo That's what I'm trying to figure out. For example @Dr. Freemo wrote:
@globcoco
How so, never heard that one before..."
And I can't remember what I wrote that made him say that...
@design_RG @freemo
Btw, it is strange when I toot smthg, it is like it disappears...
@design_RG @freemo
I thought the search part was a thing from Pinafore and it is a pretty cool feature!
