@colby thanks that's helpful. Makes sense.

Wow this is going to be good

@crumbler one doesn't have to be a big Sheryl fan to imagine she is probably pretty good at revenge.

@lispi314 @ireneista oh interesting. Emacs integration would be fun. I have only used emacs with the bibtex export.

@ireneista Agreed!

@ireneista Thanks for this—yeah. I've really only used Zotero (and depend on it in my workflow), so I'd be curious to try others.

@danhugo @pluralistic meeting her once just before she took the job was basically the highlight of my regulatory life

@ireneista what specifically does BibDesk do to address info overload?

At what point does one's @zotero library become the Library of Babel?

@heybenji @Steve Always good to bring up! Though in this case I think a nonprofit could work perfectly well.

How does Elon Musk manage to keep up with all the things he comes up with bad takes about?

Just radically vim-ified my .bashrc with

```
alias e='nvim'
alias q='exit'
```

2 events in Boulder I'm super excited about:

1/28 master class by the great tech activist Coraline Ada Ehmke:

2/4 launch of my book Beautiful Solutions with two solidarity economy leaders, Yessica Holguin and Minsun Ji, at the worker-owned Trident bookstore:

Join us!

@cyberlyra I feel like if I accomplish nothing else in life, I at least manage to get a few students a year to use password managers!

I personally use KeePass, which if combined with cloud storage (I use Nexcloud via @mayfirst) gets you the convenience of a cloud service without any company holding your keys.

@coatilex thanks for this. Why is it so hard to have a book without a store in it? My favorite ereader was the Sony reader before they added a store to it. Such a great device.

In which I follow Ivan Illich down a thought experiment about what it would look like to tabulate the cost of inventing words, and price out my own coinages.

"An Accounting for Words," just out in Flaming Hydra: https://flaminghydra.com/an-accounting-for-words/

@rose_alibi Yeah... I have long loved my Samsung tablet with LineageOS, but it is starting to fall apart and reject repairs.

For folks who like "loyal" devices (as @ethanz puts it), e.g. FLOSS, non-spying, etc., any favorite tablets or e-readers?

@flancian @ktoddbrown @edumerco @MarieVC @Matt_Noyes @threads Interesting to have that data on hand.
