@ice I relate to the feeling very much. I try to make the most of any possibilities to meet in-person, take walks, disconnect from tech, try to connect with the body. It's definitely part of our shared reality at the moment but it will pass.

@liaizon I was talking today with a friend who said they didn't understand why people talk about destroying capitalism when "it's just about greed and unfairness," I'm also curious for recommendations but I did send them that counterpoints video starting at 4:56 (less jargony moment)

Totally unexpected gift from the process, a function that makes any object chainable like this:

```
await OLSKChainGather({
alfa (input) {
return new Promise(function (res) {
return setTimeout(function () {
res(`hello ${ input }`);
});
});
},
bravo (input) {
return `bye ${ input }`;
},
}).alfa('one').bravo('two').OLSKChainExecute()

// ['hello one', 'bye two'];
```

Got this fake pointer moving around and clicking on elements so that I can automate demo videos on touch screens.

Powerful ideas from this interview with Audrey Tang about "The Epistemic Crisis":
- ("Create memes that outpace disinformation.")
- ("Humor over rumor exploits the fact that you cannot feel anger and outrage at the same time as fun.")
- ("Takedowns promote outrage. Attributing misinformation changes the framing so that people to continue to share but with different intent.")

Documenting these instructions for A2HS in the Kommit Guide https://kommit.dev/guide/

One of those things that more obvious for tech people but not everyone knows.

Add to that instant search of your entire archive/bookmarks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voCpNvldCjk

The 'retweet with comment' feature on Twitter reminds me of that flow in federated wiki where you 'extend/patch' someone else's idea on your own space, and if they are notified they can choose to fold it back into theirs. In microblogging it makes to so easy to connect disparate ideas and move away from the discrete unrelated blurts this system is designed to produce. I'm curious if there an activitypub client that supports this.

Got a message recently about my Launchlet project… It seemed like someone who visited the site but didn't notice that there is an entire app for creating a personalized launcher bookmarklet with custom JavaScript / CSS for any site, so I'm adding these 'Go to app' buttons on all of my project pages.

@aral Purism is privilege.

Reading up on urbit.org these days and came across this post documenting their design process for visual 'sigils', which are iconic representations of the syllables that comprise personal identifiers. Really interesting to see the iterations and understand the thought behind everything.

@nasser ايوة، زاي الكلام من انجليزي في كل مكان مفيش لغات كتير من غير استعمار كدة

بحب انك تتكلم عن الموضع في السياق التكنولوجية
الناس من المجتمعات دي مهتاجين افهم من زمان

@nasser الشرف بتعنا كمان
(الاسف، انا بتكلم شوية مصري بس)

@nasser Whoa, welcome to town! نورت المدينة

@glyph Not sure what 'it works' would mean here because the idea is to detach from specific outcomes and just have a human connection with the other person. I seem to have less conflict by uncovering common ground and accepting people as they are (or at least making them feel accepted).
