A list of approaches to completely avoid when designing software. A bit too extreme, on the impractical side, but manifestos like this inspire thought.

How you engage with the world changes how you experience the world, and how the world experiences you.

If you're just starting to fall in love with tea, you might be overwhelmed by all its varieties and the terms used to describe it. This post is here to help explain it all.

Of course they use Org mode.

I recently read Darek Kay’s excellent post about styling RSS feeds and wanted to do something similar. So, here’s my simple guide to styling your WordPress blog’s RSS / Atom theme…

Wheelchairs are beautiful, a marvel of technology. They are mech suits, cybernetic enhancements, they are machines that we join with in a nourishing symbiotic relationship. They are not prisons; wheelchairs are liberation. They are freedom, they are a walk in the park, they are the sunlight on my face after years in dark tunnels.

A short text zine.

Ого, культура стрит-арта там посильнее, чем в Уфе или в Казани! Даже посмотреть захотелось.

Emersion is making a cool tool called pyonji for easier git patch sending. Good UX.

Hare will stay around for a century by rejecting innovation and being soundly designed. Sounds good! I low-key want to write something in it.

The dominant use of personal computers in the 21st century is the functional simulation of non-computers.

Today I spent unnecessary hours chatting online. It could've been... a visit to a bar? Do I have to drink every day? A park? Huh? Where do people talk nowadays? And at winter?

Then I watched some moving pictures. Sure, it could've been a video disk. But the moving pictures I watched would probably never get to me here, in a less-computer world.

Then, I've read some posts in Solderpunk's gemlog. It could've been a book which I don't think would've read.

Then I saved it to this Betula. What would I do elsewise? Cut the article from the book? Rewrite? Hmm, there is photocopy. Oh wait, I don't make copies of content in Betula (although it's a planned feature), I merely comment on them. Yeah, it could've been a notebook. No search though. And no RSS...

I'm not sure I want a world with less computers. Maybe just a little less.

A Social Feed Reader for the IndieWeb

The Mac version simply didn't run. I installed the Android version. On first run it showed a quick error which I did not understand. I wanted to see how my Betula, which emits h-feed and h-entry microformats, would look like in this app. Turns out, when it talked about IndieWeb, it talked about MicroSub, not microformats2. What a liar!

I tried to authorize to https://merveilles.town, after all it supports Mastodon too! It failed to authorize me.

Overall, I couldn't do anything at all with the app. Sharing it nevertheless.

CLI from Merveilles introduced me to it. I have also seen it before somewhere.
