@Wormhole_Eddie Yes I think architecture can be art but isn’t always. I think even pavilions at world exhibition have a function. And I am not saying that art has no function. I just think that one of the key attributes of architectur is some way or form of functionality and the artsy part is secondary. (Even though some buildings are rather less functional.) Regarding your question as to when architecture becomes art, that is the same as with art itself, it is defined by culture, personal opinion, the time it was created. Some older buildings we perceive as art now, but maube at the time they were built it was just how they did it.

@freemo oh absolutely. It is their loss in the end. I think it’s a good approach to sometimes make them at least aware off it even if they decide against it.

@Wormhole_Eddie Architecture can definitely be art but at the same time always has a functional approach.

Today is #WorldPancreaticCancerDay💜and #CervicalCancer🎗️Elimination Day of Action.

Yet, I notice that neither have found their way to my Mastodon feed…
Give me a shout if you’re interested in what were doing under the #EUCancerPlan.

I will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.

Thanks, @freemo, for going the extra mile. I get the reason why you made the rules on the server the way they are. And I have to say I respect and accept their reasoning for blocking us (even if it’s not always based on facts, it’s their right). It’s what makes this place special. You can make your rules. So if they want to block us, that’s their loss first and foremost. I am glad we get to participate and decide in which content we see. Leaving it basically in the hands of everyone here on QOTO.

@nullifidian I have the DS420+ because it’s big enough for what I need at home. But if you need the extra space the DS420+ is the way to go of course. That being said, should you need it to handle more and bigger tasks then the DS920+ would be the better future-proof option (2 more CPU cores). The whole system from Synology and the DSM software platform are easy to use. And as far as I remember, the price difference between DS920+ and DS420+ was not that big. So to be on the safe side and if money is not too much ab issue, go with the DS920+

FediTips has moved!

Do you follow too many people?

Do you want to organise your Mastodon home timeline into several themed mini-timelines that are easier to navigate?

You can do this on Mastodon using the "Lists" feature, and here's a guide all about it:

fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-

You can use Lists on third party apps like Tusky for Android or Metatext for iPhone/iPad, or on your server's website.

I guess I should do ? For all the people who aren't following me. ;-)

Ahem. I'm a engineer and a (mostly) PC , although I can't play FPS games because motion sickness. I''ve got an undergrad degree in and a masters in (yes, I know that's an unusual combination). I worked in airborne and (mostly) of the oceans for twelve years (a few publications but nothing first-author, I was doing tech rather than science) before gradually drifting back to software engineering via weather radar. Also spent most of that time as a rep - strong believer in the necessity of collective bargaining and collective action as a counterbalance to over-emphasised executive/management power.

Mostly coding in these days and trying to get my head around .
