@nemobis thanks so much!

I sadly have to be honest with myself, that I should probably just do it all manually, once, and afterwards most new pages will be given categories as they are written 🤷 it is only about 100... https://wiki.kanthaus.online/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1

@nemobis haha, if you tell me how, I'll try!

Say you have a #mediawiki with a lot of uncategorized pages.

How can you batch add/edit categories without going page by page?

Playing around with cat-a-lot, but it seems not possible to use it on Special:AllPages.

@kaia that's pretty morbid, but in a really growthy way

@kaia got that one on my key ring. Seems pretty bullet proof without a case @grillchen

@woodbark well that's a whole thing I'd never heard of!

You heard about Omnivore @maxlath ?

@woodbark

I read stuff on my #ereader (using #koreader)

I use #zotero in my laptop

Anyone know how to sync highlights from ereader to zotero?

@carl "getting better organised is not that hard"

Strong disagree. If it wasn't that hard why are we not further, moving faster? I think getting better organized is hard! Good organizational practice are memetic, but still huge variety between orgs.

What do you see as the lowest hanging fruit for getting better organised?

@woodbark

@ntnsndr + please publish & tell me about them :)

"We are not outnumbered. We are out-organised"

- attributed to Malcolm X

I think this quote, which I first heard a couple days ago, sums up my so much of politics and activity. Been going through my head a lot.

Pluralism is the only way

@woodbark hmm... I guess 'playing' is striving as a worker, in the hope that will lead to promotions in or between companies ---> capital accumulation, passive disposable income, secure home ownership, etc

@woodbark 'not playing' would be unionising, worker collective formation, dropping out/silent quitting/Tang Ping and any other anticap stuff

The chances of winning the "middle-class lottery"—and transforming from worker to owner—grow ever slimmer 🎲

What would it take for 'managers', developers and people with PhD's to realize it isn't worth playing any more? 🤔

"Cooklang – Recipe Markup Language"

https://cooklang.org/

I love this but also think it'll never take off (but should)

#cooking #recipe #programming

@kaia got mine from zamnesia last week...

"Random Mosaic – Detecting unauthorized physical access with beans, lentils and colored rice"

https://dys2p.com/en/2021-12-tamper-evident-protection.html#random-mosaic-rm

1) put device in bag 2) put bagged device in another bag 3) pour in a mixture of different colored beans, forming a visual mosaic 4) send picture of mosaic to recipient

@bot yes. Quite a lot. But please refer to my other reply to cjd. My point is not about the case, but about presenting a 5 year old case as current.
