  • https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1307944473960370177?s=09 [tsunduku]

  • [Ikko Tanaka]

  • I need to find that email from the [SP] party member and get back to them, they were kind.

  • [QAnon] is really crazy.

  • [idea] separate '[TODO]' and '[read]' more clearly. Perhaps also [buy].

  • goto.coop is available. Need to a cooperative to register it, though. And perhaps there's no need: social.coop could run a go links service.

  • [go links] [Flanbook] [Siphons] all interact: if people used go links for their social media URLs, they could easily repoint when they switch platforms!

  • Write [A Naive Plan for a Freer Internet] for social.coop: [go links] + [Athens]+ [Mastodon]+ [ActivityPub] / backlinking + [Siphons] as per [Flanbook].

  • [Offline Twitter]

    • TIL about [Ted Nelson]'s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_Machines
    • Imagine the productivity boost the world would have if [Chrome]'s built in PDF viewer was a bit better: supported annotations (ideally social), docs-like comments, even just remembered where in the PDF you left off on your last visit.
    • Want to set up a [Twitter]->[Mastodon ][Siphon]. Is anybody working on this? (cross post to social.coop)
    • Constructive procrastination (e.g. when you procrastinate on urgent tasks by doing less urgent, but still useful, tasks) feels a lot like flow. Flow fueled by quanta of fear and anger.
    • I feel that, as I integrate my personality, I'm becoming weirder; I like it. It makes sense if you think about it: by integrating N profiles I'm incorporating a wider variety of traits -- thus increasing variance, which likely reduces predictability. One possible outcome: people will like me less (see [predictable identities]). I'm willing to take that chance. Let's see how far I can get.
    • Idea: a CLI for the free internet.
      • Perhaps Ipython/colab based to begin. Perhaps a browser extension eventually.
      • Lets you interact with the free internet, that is, that which has open APIs/is not part of a walled garden: Wikipedia. Mastodon. Matrix. Agora.
      • Lets you drive data exchange between supported properties easily; think UNIX pipes.
    • TOL = Thinking Out Loud. A spirit.
      • Cue "school spirit" by Kanye.
    • Flow feels a lot like meditation, indeed.
      • It feels like your brain has reached, or is about to reach, a destination. Like approaching it in the limit, perhaps.
  • [Quick Capture]
