Living long isn't everything (you also want to prosper — wink 
), but it's quite important. This is how you do it:
* Look after family relationships and social connections
* Take care of plants…
* …and eat mostly plants, lots of legumes, whole grains, soy
* No tobacco, no alcohol
* Constant moderate exercise
* Be outside in the sun
* Live where women aren't discriminated
* Live somewhere remote
* Have a religion (oops)

🇳🇱
#QOTO is now back up and migrated to bigger servers. There shouldnt be any more issues moving forward.

This inrush of new users is pretty sweet. We are getting around 150 new users a day right now and have been for like a week.

@tripu Friendica (fediverse):
Make posts as big as you want
Basic font styling + markdown support Inline media for posts
RSS support (you can follow any RSS source)
Modern interface (we even have a custom theme at social.trom.tf)
Supports Mastodon's API so any Mastodon app works with Friendica
Home and Global feeds chronologically
Contact group support
Private messages
Email integration
Calendar
and more...
I think I would happily pay for a subscription to #Twitter if Twitter:
* had no #ads
* showed a strictly chronological timeline of what you're following (and only that)
* offered #RSS (of accounts, hashtags)
* let us edit past tweets
* …while always preserving a history of changes and deleted tweets
* were better at flagging NSFW, and let us customise visibility of those tweets
But I'd rather pay the same money for the 
#Fediverse and 
#Mastodon to:
* improve and evolve
* become simpler to use
* promote themselves so that they become way more popular

I went on a wonderful #motorbiking #route this morning. It was just 89 km and 2~3h, but the weather was perfect for a #ride, and the views of the snowy peaks in Guadarrama north of Madrid city were stunning.

Again: a lift consumes _energy_. If you want to express how much energy it consumes per unit of time (eg, in one hour), you're measuring _power_. Watts (and Kilowatts, and horsepower) are a already units of power, and so “KW/h” doesn't make sense, afaict.
An analogy:
A person running a race covers distance, (ie, _length_; unit: metre). If you want to express how much distance it covers per unit of time (eg, in one hour), you're measuring _speed_. For that you would use use m/s, Km/h, knots, or some other unit of speed. But it would make no sense to say that someone runs at such-and-such “knots/h”, or that it runs such-and-such “m/s in an hour”.
@NicholasLaney@nebbia.fail
What does it mean to consume a certain minimum of power per some _specific_ period of time?
If it's roughly the power needed to lift very little weight, an idle lift consumes even less than that, and the busiest of lifts sits idle at least some time (wouldn't that be the minimum? the power needed to keep the lights on?)
Also: how's that a minimum _per hour_? If it's the power needed when idling, wouldn't that measure be identical _per day_? Or _per year_? The time dimension is irrelevant here. It should be _W_, _horsepower_, or any other unit of _power_.
Analogy with a smartphone again: if the minimum power consumed by some phone is what it needs to stay idle with its screen off (maybe in “flight mode” too), _that would be it_: you wouldn't express that in _KW/h_ or in _mW/h_ — because that's the minimum also _per week_, or _per year_.
The unit for “energy consumption for [period of time]” should be an _energy_ unit, like _joule_ or _kcal_. Or even _KW·h_.
So you could say any of this:
* “The lift consumes 10 J every hour”
* “The lift consumes 25.6 KW·h per hour”
* “The lift consumes 0.3 J / h”
* “The lift consumes 981 KW·h / h”
But not: “the lift consumes 400 KW / h”.
Right?
Physicists, help me understand this:
If they're referring to _power_, the unit should be _KW_, right?
And if they're referring to _energy_ consumed (in some interval of time), then it should be _KW⋅h_ (not _KW/h_). Right?
(And if so: the quantity is meaningless unless you specify _the interval of time_. eg: _“400 KW·h on an average day”_. No? I mean, my smartphone also consumes 400 KW·h… if I use it for long enough!)

@tripu Sorry about that! We're working on a fix for this, and we're going to remove the limits for collections.
In addition, we'll have 3 new layout options that will be available so you have greater control over the presentation of collections.
Hope you'll stick around to experience these planned improvements!
OK, I'm fed up with #Pixelfed 
@pixelfed. I think I'm done with it once this year's #dailyphoto is over.
Last night I [bumped again](https://qoto.org/@tripu/106091353468149241) into the issue of collections being limited to 18 posts. So I created [a new collection](https://pixelfed.de/c/422147543041479526) with the idea of splitting my 30 photos of April between [the old](https://pixelfed.de/c/415513620799474040) and the new collection (15 + 15).
Issue: because of the new UI, posts have two valid URLs now; eg `/i/web/post/<POST>` and `/p/<USER>/<POST>?fs=1`. When I tried to add a few photos to the _new_ collection by pasting their URLs, it didn't work. Until I realised I had to use _the other_ URL.
Issue: when I tried to remove the last 3 photos from the _old_ collection, the “edit” pop-up didn't even show me those. Until I realised the pop-up takes its data from the page itself (not from an API call), and because of the infinite scroll on the page, unless you have scrolled down _before_ trying to edit the collection, you won't be able to edit but the first bunch of items.
Issue: once I understood that (and I scroll until the end, then click to edit, then select the last 3 photos), the dialog box says _“Select a Photo to Delete”_, the button is labelled _“Delete 3 photos”_, and if you dare to click it, a confirmation pop-up says _“Are you sure you want to delete this?”_. NO, I'M NOT SURE. Are you going to _remove these photos from the collection_, or _delete them_??

@tripu 👍 “Your teams are full of talented and capable people doing what they do best, but they need space to do so. By better understanding how they want to work together, how meetings fit into that, and where meetings do and don’t add value, you’ll minimize the need for useless meetings.”
