Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)- Listened: The Radical Imagination in Reactionary Times
- As I believe it has some discussion on social movement theory.
- Also led me to discover New Books in Critical Theory.
- Well-connected.
- Snow. Lots of snow.
- I fixed a long-standing bug on my site where backlinks often didn’t work.
- I also fixed up the backlinks section for each node to only include backlinking nodes once.
- Listened: The Mythology of Cybersyn (ft. Evgeny Morozov)
- Really fascinating discussion on Cybersyn and its relevance today.
- The idea of it being relevant as a leftist ‘myth’ (in the good sense) is really interesting.
- It’s quiet in the Agora right now. But I’m sure peeps will be back.
- I basically never write code anymore for work purposes. I guess I’m OK with that right now. But I feel one day soon the pendulum will swing back from lead to coder again.
- I’m perhaps less interested in code for code’s sake these days, and more interested in the design of systems.
- Finished The Internet Con.
- Need to copy over the notes. Lots of good thoughts from Doctorow in there.
- On things like interoperability, monopoly, anti-trust, DRM, Big Tech, etc.
- Maybe not quite as actionable a programme for change as the incendiary opening made me excited for. But I’ll definitely reaffirm comcom as a process for change in reclaim the stacks work.
- Boox handwriting recognition missing whole words out
- Boox Firmware v3.5
- Starting having a go at an Iterative Enquiry diagram for digital ecosocialism. Definite work in progress.
- Listened: Anthony Hodgson, “Ready for Anything: Designing Resilience for a Transforming World”
- Read: Thatcherite conservatism is on its last legs. I’ve had a disturbing glimpse of what might replace it
- Why is Peter Thiel giving talks to Conservatives in the UK? Probably not unrelated to trying to get NHS contracts for Palantir.
- Storing my SSH keys in KeePassXC
- Using SSH keys in Termux for Git
