-   [[Wasteland]]
    -   [[Food waste]] and [[gleaning]].

-   Writing prose in [[Emacs]] with [[Termux]] is a little weird.
    -   It's because you have to workaround the fact that terminal emulators don't generally work well with touch keyboards.
    -   Termux solves this cleverly with a text input view you can access by swiping left on the extra keys row.
    -   It's neat, but not optimal for longer-form writing.
    -   Options:
        -   Use orgzly for longer text input.
        -   Try Emacs native Android build again.
        -   Stick with it, it's not that bad.

-   Going all in on [[libre software]] and [[open hardware]] is a key part of [[digital ecosocialism]].
    -   That said, use of proprietary alternatives may be necessary during transition.

-   Provisioning the [[knowledge commons]] with info on what software is good, how to use it, how to switch to it, etc, also very important.

-   [[Wasteland]]
    -   [[Soil]], [[composting]], and a surprise mention of [[metabolic rift]].
    -   It's a well-written book - well paced, informative, humorous.
    -   [[Biogas]].

-   [[Waste]] and what you do with it is an important part of any [[system]].
    -   This is part of why I'm finding [[Wasteland]] so interesting.
        -   Here the system is society.
    -   You can try and reuse it circulate it back into your system. Or you sink it somewhere in the environment.
        -   It seems though, nothing is ever truly a sink - it always comes back one way or another…
    -   Or you try and reduce how much of it there is in the first place.
