  • I went to bed a bit later than expected, at around 3am, but it was a productive night and I still managed to sleep enough so I have no regrets :)
  • The [[dishwasher]] repairperson came over, fingers crossed I’ll have a dishwasher again! Not having it (after only a few years of having it) really made me appreciate it specially.
  • Then I plan to [[work]] mostly on [[AI]] stuff today.
  • Then we might go to [[Manor]] with [[AG]] :)

  • Yesterday I ended up working on Sunday as planned and I enjoyed it.
    • I also took time to practice, and play, and that made a large difference.
  • [[flow state]]:
  • I made the move to the office around lunch, now I’m heading into a longish in-office flow session which might last five hours! Wish me luck :)
  • [[bull]]:
    • I like the addition of ctrl+s to save a page a lot
    • I’m also using ctrl+e to edit — maybe it would be ideal if it started the editing session at the end of the document instead of the beginning?
    • Alternatively I think ctrl+s maybe should save but not go back to view mode; unsure.
  • Researching how to publish [[snippets]] at work from the command line :)

  • Reading [[Not the End of the World]]
    • Hmm, just plainly stated that [[Degrowth]] is wrong.
    • There was a mention of ‘effective’ optimism. Hope that’s not aligned with effective altruism.

      • [[Add users]]
  • [[worked]] and I liked it
  • [[donated]]

  • [[prana]] now documented lightly in the Agora :)
    • as usual you can use e.g. anagora.org/go/prana/6 to do the yoga session for ‘day 6’, whatever that means to you. I usually do one of go/flow, go/move, etc. on rotation :)
  • [[Vajradhara]] and [[Vajrasattva]]
📅 Date [[2025-01-11]]
  • I resigned from the [[Social.coop]] [[Community Working Group]] the day after starting the [[vote to suspend meta]] after much discussion and a quick draft done with/for the community. It felt like it was the right time to disengage after I received criticism yet again for ‘moving too fast’ despite looping in people earlier and doing what I thought was a fully reasonable pro-social action to advance discussion (start a proposal on Loomio). This after concerns were escalated by multiple community members, including to the CWG, about Social.coop feeling like less of a safe space due to our lack of visible response.
    • One of the criticisms I got amounted (paraphrasing for effect) to needing to have more pre-meetings and go slower. I am fine not having pre-meetings or anything of the sort and doing more and talking less in 2025 as far as I can (within reason), so it seemed like a good moment to finish my CWG engagement (after several years) and focus on the Tech Working Group and the Organizing Circle instead. The CWG is now well-staffed so I am not needed there anymore, which I am thankful for to the people who remain!
    • In general the negativity I had gotten used to getting from some members was a bit of an energy drain, and I realized I could use my time more constructively for the community in the other engagements I plan to keep.
  • [[Bull]] is looking great! I’m now serving it (for myself only for the time being) at https://edit.anagora.org .
