@davoh thank you – that’s a high bar!

@manton this is a great resource – thank you. I’m always a tiny bit nervous about archive.org as a single point of failure. Your work reminds me of Farenheit 451, where each one memorises just a bit, and together they maintain the culture.

@JigmeDatse Sorry to require 8 tabs! Only focusing on one thing is not a great as it’s made out to be, and it’s not possible to know too much about paper. I look forward to reading about it.

@bobdoto Thanks! Now I feel like that character in the Molière play who was delighted to discover he’d been speaking prose.

@teaneedz I’d like to say ‘AI hates being anthopomophised’ - but that’s clearly not true.

@AJ_West this is very poetic! Following Günther Anders, I’ve previously characterised the human predicament in the face of our technological creations as Promethean shame - the shame that we’re not manufactured.

@mhamilton1509.bsky.social Maybe it was Borges who said he published to forget.

@Miraz I love this - it looks so lush! I was involved with a similar project in Australia — Hornsby Quarry. Great to see unloved spaces turned around.

@philipbrewer Thanks! Though different, there are parallels between Shu Ha Ri and the European tradition of apprenticeship. I’m intrigued by how the print revolution impacted HEMA teaching in the Renaissance - an explosion of Fechtbücher and other manuals. Did this obscure the key role of teaching?

@lmika “AI is so productive it’s practically drinking the coffee for me - the subscription is pure savings!”

@patrickrhone I keep hoping to find I own a small European country that way, you just never know

@jkratz yeah, let’s not hold our breath. But it’s a little encouraging that MM is actually talking about it

@Miraz thanks for this clarification. I’d always wondered!

@_Jordan come the revolution, every meal will be brunch. Or is that just me?

@writingslowly but judging by Matt’s talk, they have a lot of integration/updating work to do. Tumblr upgrade must be massive

@jkratz the lack of basic integration of Automattic tools is a huge missed opportunity. I keep asking them about it and get crickets.

@manton the argument seems to be that a certain kind of person uses 37 Signals products. Well, OK. As one of ‘the last loonies on tech’s woke island’ I’m not a citizen of the boy racer’s fantasy white people paradise. Cancelled my brief Hey subscription a while back. No doubt he’d be delighted

@iChris visiting friends we heard an explosion in the kitchen. Lentil soup on every surface. The metal safety plug was missing. They found it a week later. It had shot through the ceiling to the upstairs bedroom, where their toddler was sleeping peacefully. The moral? Live dangerously!

@SimonPeng you’re welcome. Many reasons to engage with formal education:
- that’s what you do at that age,
- to get the grade for the next thing,
- some don’t know why they’re there,
- to learn things, even.
It’s frustrating to see systems that exploit these aspirations. Worse than AI are student loans.

@birming I like the idea of aJekyll blog and a Hyde blog! Which is which? I guess readers can decide for themselves
