• Watching: [[Don't Look Up]]

• I like Iain M. Banks and I'm currently re-reading [[Look to Windward]] because in [[Red Plenty]] it was described it as an example of a 20th century [[Marxian idyll]]. It's good and all but I'm reading the [[Culture]] now as kind of all premised on [[Prometheanism]] / [[fully automated luxury communism]]. I'm gonna reread [[A Wizard of Earthsea]] (last read as a young teen!) by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]] next as in [[Half-Earth Socialism]] they describe that as [[Jennerite ecological scepticism]] and that is more my bag lately.

• [[Regenerative farming]]

• [[Open Infrastructure Map]] is absolutely fascinating. Check out all the power stations, turbines, electricity lines, gas, oil, water pipelines, etc are near you. Built on top of [[Open Street Map]] data (what an amazing project OSM is).

• Equally fascinating is [[OSM Landuse Landcover]]. Dead interesting to compare urban areas, agriculture and wilderness. No surprise that near me there is a ton of pasture grazing and crop farming, a bit of urban sprawl, and a depressingly small amount of woodland and forest.

• Backnoded: I worked half a day, met [[akshay]] and [[pesho]] in the first half of the day.

• [[Grover]]

• [[Another world is possible]]. But more than that - [[Another world is necessary]].

• Learning more on [[Markets vs planning]], finding it interesting how [[Friedrich Hayek]]'s stuff on markets as a decentralised information processing system on the surface chimes with what I like about complex systems. And central planning is discordant with what I like about complex systems.

  • But obviously politically I am strongly against what [[neoliberalism]] has wrought, and I am strongly pro what [[socialism]] offers.
  • Intrigued to dig deeper on that. I imagine it might be along the lines of e.g. complex systems exist within another system which provides them with limits and direction, even if it doesn't plan every interaction. Or perhaps just that the analogy between natural systems and artificial ones only goes so far.

• Starting taking [[voice notes]] (again).

  • Faffed around for a while with Simple Voice Recorder app from Fdroid and syncing via Nextcloud. SVR app is fine - but getting the sync working was annoyingly non-trivial. Settled on just using Matrix Chat for now, which has a voice record feature, and takes care of all the syncing. But now am looking now for an easy way to transcribe them. Lo and behold an article on doing this already exists from Maya! https://maya.land/monologues/2021/08/05/matrix-bot-transcribe-speech-audio-messages.html But a bit of setup involved. Maybe I should just use otter.ai for now while I'm getting in to the habit, otherwise the friction might kill my habit.

• Been reading the Winter 2022 issue of [[Tribune]] on my Kobo. [[Tribune Winter 2022]].

  • My brother got me a subscription to Tribune as a late birthday present. Got some good stuff in there. Editorial on [[Cost of living crisis]]. Article about [[New Towns]]. Article about socialist science-fiction - some good recommendations in there. Article on successful [[trade unionism]], specifically in refuse workers sector - some organising to drive worker conditions back up. Also something about [[Partygate]] being hopefully the end for Boris Johnson. I think this article is a few months old, doesn't seem to have happened yet though.

• [[Flancian]] suggested a [[node club]] on [[utopian socialism]].

  • I'm up for that. I've started with a transcribed voice note.

• Listened: [[Is the UK heading for a recession?]]

• Listening: [[How to feed the world without destroying it]]

• [[Appropedia]]

• First of June! Feels significant somehow.
  • One month to the quarter (and to do my OKRs at work).
  • Seven months to go in the year.
  • I start this month single for the first time in 10 years.
  • In some Flancias the revolution started one month after [[international workers day]].
    • One month for planning, then a call to action?
• [[flâneuse]] == [[calico fisk]]
• I really want to implement:
  • That script/function to gather all known TODOs from a garden in one place.
  • [[path tracking]] (for the user) in the Agora.
• Meet [[diegodlh]].
  • [[peter hagen]]
  • [[social coop]]
  • [[agora]]
  • [[wikimedia]]
    • [[media wiki]]
  • lovely conversation!

I feel as if something is turning. It might not be much longer.

• Meetings day a priori, but relatively few meetings today!
• #push [[do]]
  • I need to put my [[todo]] in order. I have by now a mix of [[wiki vim]] style and [[logseq]] style TODOs, and neither are aggregated.
  • Perhaps I should write a simple script or just [[egrep]] invocation that brings back all my undone items in different formats around my garden?
  • Or add this to [[agora server]], where it'll be most useful.
  • [[robert haisfield]] suggested we add 'path tracking' (not user identifiable) -- in the sense of knowing which paths each user took.
    • I'm thinking the nicest way to do this would be just [[query string]] based, e.g. each node linking to another node while appending itself to ?path=.
• I did [[yoga with x]] live today and then stayed on for 3h and nobody showed up :)
  • That's alright, maybe someone did in the multiverse, or will in the future.

• Long been on the to read list, but after seeing it namechecked in various places (most recently [[Red Plenty]] and [[Half-Earth Socialism]]), finally started reading [[News from Nowhere]]. Wasn't sure what to expect given its age but it's been really good so far.

Getting back into [[foam]] again but this time using [[foam lite]] which is a liteweight version of foam. Ostensibly it will load faster? I know [[flancian]] was having some issues with that I think.
