the problem is it takes so much upfront work to make something simple …

i’d like to set up my blog so it’s easier to post short updates like what books ive finished or shows ive watched. it feels like a good use for that, it’s just so fiddly as it is now, even as simple as it is

i think i@got a good grade at my doctors appt today

the internet became popular in part due to it democratizing information. that’s why billions of dollars have been spent to obfuscate that aspect as much as possible

man i hate budgeting. i just paid rent like three weeks ago. come on

i want a seattle farmer's market watch account or RSS feed that just lets me know when people start spotting new seasonal veg and fruits

kinda fucked up that everyone's just supposed to be okay with that

im not sure corporations have really changed like... at all? since the british east india company

me, realizing that most people doing online shopping at this point are doing it on their phones:

maybe this is silly, but i can’t help seeing all these books about growing food or farming in labor-saving ways and feel like we need books like these bc we spent at least a century systematically denying community knowledge to spread like it had before

all my life i have been told to heat olive oil until it is “shimmering” and at this point i suspect i’m just never going to understand what that means in practice

@mcc

starting the ASO (anarchist standards organization). it’s the same as ISO but all freely available and also purely by coincidence our standards all end up the same as theirs

would it be unethical to tell your robot girlfriend to sudo something

i maintain that the biggest revolution in how social media changed how we saw the world was finally dispelling any doubts that people with money and power are mostly complete morons

(this is also why, despite using plex which cannot parse them, i make nfo files and local images for ALL my movies and tv shows-- i don't trust plex to stick around, and when it does go away, i don't want all that work to go to waste)

@wxcafe the dolls are fightinggg

@feld its clearly a thing a lot of websites have implemented privately... i hope this takes off bc i'd love to be able to just have all my languages in text files and move them around from whatever frontend i decde to go to

a friend shared this and it looks cool? i love markup languages for things instead of apps... https://cooklang.org/

i dont think the world was better or worse before the internet so much as the internet gave us all a brief glimpse of a world without the conventional logics of capital before capital was able to catch up
