    1. Busy week coding -- but there was one delightful article that led me down a small rabbit hole of Richard P Gabriel's writing about "worse is better" from 1989/90. The hub for this idea is here: Richard P. Gabriel: "Worse Is Better", https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html And I found it via: Christine Lemmer-Webber: "How decentralized is Bluesky really?", 2024-11-22, https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/ The idea of "worse is better" got connected to Gall's Law, and loosely relates to why idealistic, big software rewrites fail so often. And why things that are imperfect but provide value proliferate.

    1. Armin Thurnher im Falter zum eXit, zum Wechsel vieler Journalistinnen und Journalisten zu Bluesky. Was Thurnher sehr gut sieht, sind die Machtstrukturen hinter den Inhalten. Er lehnt die Bezeichnung Diskussion für die Dialoge in sozialen Medien ab und versteht Journalismus grundsätzlich als redaktionelle Tätigkeit. Er hat auch recht, wenn er eine europäische Politik fordert, die andere digitale Medien durchsetzt. Er unterschätzt aber die Veränderungen auf der Ebene der technischen Infrastruktur.

      Thurnher repliziert auf Kritiken von Wolf Lotter und Niko Almi in der Presse.

    1. The linking between physical book and digital book is somewhat reminiscent to me to Livescribe.com's use of Anoto digital paper and direct linking of handwriting on the page with recorded audio. Perhaps the physical book and digital book could use such a substrate to effectuate some of the work seen here, but also do it in a way that is easily (digitally) recordable as well as replayable. They've also done some of the handwriting to text work one might want in this space.
