Kind: Notes
- 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
- Listened: How We Show Up with Mia Birdsong
- Listened: Today in Focus: ‘We’re totally isolated’: inside Gaza as Israel’s war intensifies
- They speak to a journalist in Gaza who is trapped there along with his family.You can hear the airstrikes happening during the interview.
- MermaidJS seems to have come a long way recently. Might start using it in conjunction with PlantUML.
Posted my latest noodlings on reclaiming the stacks i.e. expropriating information and communications technology from Big Tech and returning it to the people.
