@neauoire I wonder if “calm computing” concepts have overlap as a principle, if it means less notifications is less things running in the background, and less complexity? Not exactly for the same purpose. Especially since I see calm computing more as not letting a machine hijack your attention or manipulate you.
@viznut @neauoire That makes sense, thank you! Is it also possible that by being fully understandable systems, these systems are not doing anything manipulative or attention-grabbing that someone else imposed? (Unless the user wants that — alerts/timers, or other interruptions the user wishes the computer to impose on them.)
@neauoire amazing. I need to think about that. I already like KISS, but perma-computing is an entirely different thing!
@neauoire an interesting idea that would need to confront the proprietary nature of tech as well and rights to repair such tech. Open source equivalents to consumer products could be a possible route as profit motive negates open standards.
@neauoire
a radically sustainable approach...
mouahaha...minding !
