Kind: Notes
- 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.
It’s 2023 and roughly 90% of my drive space is taken up by node_modules folders 😑
Thanks to Six Feet Under for reminding me what a lovely song Our Way To Fall is.
Although I am surprisingly uninterested in artificial intelligence as a topic these days, maybe it’s just the general discourse around it. Ways of Being sounds like it’ll be more up my street – comes across much more in line with [[evolutionary and adaptive systems]] vibe – i.e. importance of embodiment, environment, relationality.
Interested to learn more what Bridle means when he refers to an ecology of technology.
