@starrwulfe getting whiplash from how fast these corporates are obeying in advance. Clearly they never believed what they were saying about respect etc.

@angryblacklady.bsky.social It's not only stupid and supremely lazy, it's pathetic. It's like "the greatest achievement in my life is my skin tone. That's it. That's what I've got." I mean. I'm bald, but you won't find me bragging about it.

@olav.theweird.space.ap.brid.gy The NYT should get with the program. It's called 'Sea-to-Lake' now.

@rscottjones happy to see you’re not hating it!

@amerpie Thank you. A question I have asked people about this: if you accept that to implement the death penalty, innocent people will die, how prepared are you for it to be you?

@starrwulfe it's a test isn't it? Humiliate yourself a tiny bit and you're at the top of a slippery slope. Kiss the ring and that's not all you'll have to kiss.

@writingslowly it's the basis of a whole new TV series too. And you heard it here first!

@manton that's certainly what my kids thought at the time

@otaviocc micropublish.blog looks great - I'm keen to try it out. In case anyone missed it:
Micro.publish is an Obsidian plugin to publish notes directly to Micro.blog

@davepress.bsky.social I loved this image of his study.

@jean I love it when the sky is reflected on the beach and the beach becomes a mirror of the sky!

@ctietze yes I'm pretty sure a large paper Zettelkasten needs an index of some sort. But I'm still struck by how so much of Luhmann's second Zettelkasten was effectively unindexed. It seems he relied on the internal references (and maybe his memory, and also some luck or chance).

@writingslowly.bsky.social Edit: WiFi. I was thinking of WiFi, not Bluetooth. But Australia did produce Bluey, so there's that.

@drwalt I haven't written how I use Sublime Text for my Zettelkasten because it's almost embarrassingly simple! My notes are on a shared drive accessible anywhere I'm online. Since they're just markdown, I can edit them with any text editor. I just happen to like Sublime Text. This could be a lot more sophisticated, but it seems like there are trade-offs between complexity and robustness.

@combatdavey I use micro.blog for my main site. micro.blog has so many great features. It's the Swiss army knife of indie blogging, and a key reason why I'm writing faster.

@richardcarter this is very helpful, thank you. People underestimate how time consuming the referencing can be (by which I mean me 😂)

@tracydurnell Thanks! This confirms my sense that it's hard to dash off a worthwhile long post, and that editing is time well-spent - at least in terms of the resulting quality boost. What's more, it shows that editing helps clarify thought.
Have you submitted your article to the indieweb carnival? -

@davebauerart seize the day!

@richardcarter ah, the curly quotes thing. Don't think I can put a positive spin on that one.! A script sounds like a workable solution though

@Denny Thanks for reminding me about Nate Hagens. I used to appreciate his Oil Drum forum and will check out his podcasts.

@petebrown I basically agree with your prognosis (too little, too late), but still feel that since change is happening (albeit not fast or deep enough), therefore the future isn't totally determined. It's quite hard to tell, in advance of its consequences, what counts as a real change. It's hard for me to see major global transformations (such as in energy production) and say these won't make any difference to anything, or to the things that really matter. 'Fundamental changes in how we live' sound like civilizational shifts to me. The good news is that these happen frequently. Civilizations are always collapsing and new ones taking their place. The bad news is that it's rough if you're trying to live through it.
