• [[silverbullet]]:
  • should open the daily on startup?
  • [[go/daily]] achieves this for me for now ;) e.g. [[go/daily]] or just use the embed in anagora.org/daily.

• going over "old" (and new) notebooks, trying to make sense of the hugely distributed task list they imply :)
  • happy to see that a lot actually happened in the last 1-2 quarters!
  • I’m thinking this could be a nice ‘tradition’ to reinforce on the [[17ths]], being [[Maitreya day]] ;)
• [[do]]:
  • [[numbers]] pull all number-related actions, e.g. [[557]] (example comes from a notebook) pulls [[hex/557]], [[prime/557]] and any others we have in the future.
  • [[today]] should probably pull today’s date instead of redirecting? maybe!
  • next steps on [[activitypub]]
  • define [[equivalence classes]] in the Agora; right now they’re implicit and a bit of a mess?
  • [[oauth]] is mentioned so often in my todos that I wonder how it is I actually haven’t even started on it!
    • I think at some point I wanted to do these flows through [[agora bridge]] instead of [[agora server]]?
    • But that might have been a mistake/complicating stuff needlessly?
  • [[open letters]] show up profusely in the last 1.5 years, yet I have not properly published a single one since (except by default in the Agora, like pretty much everything I write that is not work related)
    • [[Building Bridges]]
    • [[Beyond Markdown and Git]]
    • [[Open Letter to Google]]
    • [[Open Letter to the Agora]]
    • [[Open Letter to the Sangha]]
  • develop [[whisper]] as an action (?)
• "[[Flancia]] is a [[Pattern Language]], the [[Agora]] is a [[Pattern Repository]]" — from a notebook.

• Read: [[Critique of techno-feudal reason]]

  • Well, sort of read it - actually half listened to it via Wallabag while taking the bubba out for an early walk.
  • Dense and erudite, as you expect from Morozov.
  • Didn’t follow half of it this first time around to be honest, but I take away the basic message that he’s critical of the general idea of [[techno-feudalism]].

• [[There is no capitalism without colonialism]].

• [[work]]
• [[ssc]]

• [[True Names]] == [[343]] in the [[Flancia Pattern Language]]
  • Which I guess can now be said to contain at least 343 patterns :)
  • [[7^3]] calculated mentally (it might be wrong for all I know!)

• [[15]] means [[Right Effort]] in the [[Flancia pattern language]].
• Tough day at work. I got demotivated yesterday after hearing some bad news and that bled a bit onto today. But nothing terrible :)
• [[Fellowship of the link]] was nice and energizing though.

• [[Listened]]: [[The dangers of digital capitalism]]
  • Excellent webinar from [[Transnational Institute]].
  • On [[digital capitalism]] and more.
  • Some great speakers, I should find out more about them.
    • I’ve come across [[Jack Qiu]] before from [[Goodbye iSlave]].

• Another [[day]], another [[node]].
  • Or more than one :)
  • I definitely need to work on editing though! On doing more of the actual curation and maintenance of an actual [[digital garden]].
  • In the meantime, thanks for making do with all the rough edges ;)
• Resuming [[Agora development]]:
  • I have a few commits to push to anagora.org this week.
    • -> done, or at least started :)
  • I did some [[verschlimmbessern]] on the index to the [[Agora]] on the flight to the US that I never quite pushed — and better that way :) it needs ‘cherrypicking’ to put it mildly. It suffered a lot in directness.
  • Also added support for [[silverbullet]] style [[attachments]].
• [[social.coop]]:
  • No [[twg]] meeting this week, will try to continue working on onboarding [[evan]] to the group.
  • I "installed" alpha.social.coop using [[coop cloud]] but it’s not up yet.
  • [[upkeep]]:
    • You could call it [[life]] ;)
    • [[nostromo]] was getting broken enough that I decided to update Ubuntu to the latest release to unbreak [[wayland]] and some sites in [[chromium]]. It had been long in the making, it’s a bit like house cleaning, it can be relaxing after work :)
    • I tried taking the occasion to also [[garbage collect]] tabs/try some new organizational principles in [[paramita]], [[guanyin]] and [[sariputta]].
• [[GPT 4o]] was released yesterday and I got access.
  • Impressive.
  • But it failed to analyze a video I attached on desktop meaningfully though.

• Noding from a new computer — [[Guanyin]] :)
  • Now back in [[Nostromo]] after work
• Thought of [[17]], and explored 17 musically as [[13 + 4]] (today it’s the 13th) and [[7 + 10]].
• [[digital capitalism]]
• [[yoga with x]]
• I found two notebooks that I had misplaced, or that had anyhow gotten out of my working context. It felt great, in particular one that I call [[25]].
• [[flaming lips]]:
  • [[summertime]]

• It turns out all my [[silverbullet]] journals were being left out from my [[garden]] — I corrected this and in the process dumped a few tens of journals that had never shown up so far :) Glad I checked and found this!

• Trying [[attachments]].
• [[AG]]
• [[Stapelberg]]
• [[Lady Burup]]
• [[17]]
• [[scc]]

• [[Listened]]: [[Evgeny Morozov: Competition and Cooperation in Digital Capitalism]]

• Using both [[wiki vim]] and [[silverbullet]] these days, will make a case of checking out how anagora.org renders this and consider improvements
• [[AMITAFO]]

I’ve been living [[Protopianism]] in my personal life; dealing with bed bugs, every iteration across the six months of process for eradication a show of the many small complexities of life, all the while feeling lucky and aware.

After 4x fumigation adding [[diatomaceous earth]] stripes all around (quite ingenious packaging+spilling resistant) the new bed seemed to seemed to give us that additional (feeling of) safety :)

• Started the day with [[AG]] in the [[balcony]] :)
  • We managed to also do a mini bike tour before she went to the [[Mothers Day]] festivities :)
• Now thinking of:
  • [[patterns]]
    • as per usual you could say :)
  • [[patents]] (don’t worry, more in the abstract than anything :)
    • relevant to [[digital capitalism]] surely
  • [[visions]]
  • [[true names]]
• I got a small book by Meister [[Yaw Hwa Chin]] in the Chinese supermarket, I want to check them out.
  • it’s titled [[The wisdom, philosophy and education of Buddha and Chinese]]
  • He writes [[AMITOFO]] just before signing; it turns out it’s the Chinese spelling of [[Amitabha]] ~ [[Amitayus]].

2024-05-12

• After a long hiatus, low-key writing [[Reclaim the Stacks: reflections, May 2024]].

• Reading [[Critical Perspectives on Digital Capitalism: Theories and Praxis. Introduction to the Special Issue]]

• [[flancia meet]]:
  • [[bouncepaw]]
    • [[pipepunk]] and its evolution
    • [[zine]]

• [[2024-05-10]]
  • I think I prefer dates as ‘flat hierarchy nodes’ overall — this way I can just link to the date and get to the journal entry.
  • Also most generally this makes it so the convention for gathering journals is just ‘look for [[nodes]] whose [[topic]] is a time period show those that fit the current [[context]]’

• [[flancia meet]] with [[bouncepaw]] was great!

2024-05-11

• [[Digital Capitalism online course]]
  • I finished Week 1.
  • (Mostly - not had chance to go through all the further materials yet.)
