• [[Listened]]: [[Future Histories International: Kai Heron, Keir Milburn and Bertie Russell on Radical Abundance]]
  • The book sounds like a great contribution - very hands on ideas and practice for transition from people who fully understand the bigger picture.
  • Plenty of [[commoning]] talk and I’m happy that all the to see the [[commons-public partnerships]] stuff from [[Free, Fair and Alive]] and [[DisCO]]s here in another light.

    • And led me to do some work on demo mode plus onboarding experience with Gemini :)

• We went to the [[Velobörse]] with [[KM]] and we got a nice bike for a good price! It was great.
  • It was quite cold and rainy and we felt so-so physically at several times in the day but it’s been a beautiful weekend so far!
  • We reunited with [[Lady Burup]] around 2PM.
• I did some work for G, sending out a document for review, and it felt great.

• I am finding the performance of [[Thunderbird]] to be terrible.
  • Connecting it to Zoho Mail via IMAP.
  • I’m just going through my inbox and deleting emails and it regularly takes a CPU to 100%.
  • Might try Betterbird… but will just stick with the webmail for this for now. Something clearly not right when a webapp is performing better than a desktop app.

• Great Saturday!
• We had a great morning and went to the gym with [[KM]] and then I took a nap with [[Lady Burup]] and met [[VK]], then…
• I met [[Claudia]] and [[Andreas]] at [[KM]]‘s home for dinner and then we went to their flat and to [[ZW]], it was great.
• I also found a note of interest in [[ZW]], and when I turned it around I found:
  • [[Urs + Miranda]]
  • [[Gaudi Labs]]
• [[Agora demo]] :)

• In the absence of time to do much in the way of [[knowledge commoning]] at present, I figure the least I can do is more consistently share my bookmarks.

• Managed to submit a post for the February carnival: [[Emacs Carnival: Completion]]
  • Quite a rush, but I learned a lot in the process.

• Of any assertion, it can be asked: is it

• I had to get a new phone, as my Pixel 5a spontaneously bricked itself.

  • I got a [[Fairphone 6]].
  • I usually get second hand or refurbished phones, but here’s [[My rationale for getting a Fairphone 6]].

• Going through the process of getting things set up on a new phone.

  • My notes in my digital garden are massively helpful for this. Well done past self!
  • They’re a bit scattered though - I’ll try and update them into one page about it..
    • [[Setting up a new phone]].

• Trying out Vulpea.

For how long, maybe?
Until when?

• We had such a beautiful day with [[KM]]! And [[Lady Burup]].
• We went to the gym together for the first time in the morning, and then did a great walk through Zürich hopping from coffee place to coffee place and enjoying the [[sunshine]].
