@CommonEnterprise @ntnsndr @hrheingold is in it!

@Johnny_nada @ntnsndr It is basically the exact logical extension of chapter 2, for better or worse.

My aunt texted: "Perhaps now is the time for super shameless promotion of Governable Spaces. The audience won't need any handholding to get it."

Oh, and I have no room left of my bookshelves.

@fm2279 @ntnsndr @timbray - being married to someone who goes to sleep early and is sensitive to light and page-turning

- taking notes that can easily be transferred to a digital archive

- reading and writing (including large, complex things) on sam object

@timbray My bigger challenge is that there is no Adobe Digital Editions for Linux, and I refuse to use Kindle, so buying ebooks (except from a handful of publishers that do no-DRM) is off the table.

@wjmaggos I run Matrix in my lab and force students and collaborators on it. But the onboarding friction (key management, verification) is still too high. Those need to be addressed before I would recommend it for activist groups who can't afford to lose participants to so-so UX.

From a call I'm on right now: "I feel like all of DC is on Signal now"
