my dumb html website doesn't preview well with file:// so i needed a webserver, astonished to discover i could type
python -m http.server
and it'd serve the working folder. installed nothing, edited no config files.

An unwelcome consequence of living in a world where everything is “easy” is that the only skill that matters is the ability to multitask.
At the extreme, we don’t actually do anything; we only arrange what will be done, which is a flimsy basis for a life.

ubuntu, camera via usb puts icon on desktop, but where the heck is the file path so i can actually use smart cli tools?

"If the reserve army of artists would stop applying for grants to do projects in centers for contemporary art and start building worlds, perhaps cultural sensibility and ecological sustainability can combine in an economy organized around freedom and care rather than production and consumption."

the mice did this to us today. bombed the house just before bread baking.
a decade's dust. witness the rise and fall, a civilization's worth of creative tools and machinery. the sediment of a lost heaven, universal shipwreck.

"When the unique is created, it also creates the creator.
The more finished goods become commodities, the fewer opportunities an individual has to generate new creation. The ability to mass-produce removes the opportunity for the great many to learn to produce at all. From such a thought, a future full of consumption-only hobbies might come as no surprise."
this article is gold. (maybe we can collectively quote the whole thing here on merv, lol)
