I read this, and I felt it. I felt, or feel, me. I want this some times, others I want... Well, no I guess I want this all of the time. I have a voice and I love it. It may be ..too reliant(?) on weird punctuation and even weirder sentence structure. But it's me, so.. expect weird, you know?

I know someone's going to like it. In fact, I'm sure lots of someones will like it.Or at least understand it. And they'll hear me. They'll see me. They'll understand me. Because I know I'm not the only one that gets blessed with this dang.. contemplative.?, expressive, ponderous, ability-to-show-in-writing, kind of voice.

It just makes for some ugly writing, huh?

I can make it prettier and more formal, too. That will come out a lot.

Detailed Summary

1. You own your data, in spite of the cloud. <br /> Section summary: <br /> Local-fist software tries to solve the problem of ownership, agency and data lock-in present in cloud-based software, without compromising cross-collaboration and improving user control.

Section breakdown<br /> §1: SaaS<br /> Pros: Easy sync across devices, real-time collab Cons: loss of ownership and agency; loss of data is software is lost.

§2: Local-fist software<br /> - Enables collaboration & ownership - Offline cross-collaboration - Improved security, privacy, long-term preservation & user control of data

§3 & §4: Article Methodology<br /> - Survey of existing storage & sharing approaches and their trade-offs - Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), natively multi-user - Analysis of challenges of the data model as implemented at Ink & Switch - Analysis of CRDT viability, UI - Suggestion of next steps

2. Motivation: collaboration and ownership<br /> Section summary: <br /> The argument for cross-device, real-time collab PLUS personal ownership

Section breakdown<br /> §1: Examples of online collabs<br /> §2: SaaS increasingly critical, data increasingly valuable<br /> §3: There are cons<br /> §4: Deep emotional attachment to your data brings feeling of ownership, especially for creative expression<br /> §5: SaaS require access to 3rd party server, limitation on what can be done. Cloud provider owns the data.<br /> §6: SaaS: no service, no data. If service is shut down, you might manage to export data, but you may not be able to run your copy of the software.<br /> §7: Old-fashioned apps were local-disk based (IDEs, git, CAD). You can archive, backup, access or do whatever with the data without 3rd party approval.<br /> §8: Can we have collaboration AND ownership?<br /> §9: Desire: cross-device, real-time collab PLUS personal ownership

3. Seven ideals for local-first software<br /> Section breakdown<br /> §1: Belief: data ownership & real-time collab are compatible<br /> §2: Local-first software local storage & local networks are primary, server secondary<br /> §3: SaaS: In the server, or it didn't happen. Local-first: local is authoritative, servers are for cross-device.

3.1.1 No spinners<br /> SaaS feels slower because if requires round-trip to a server for data modification and some lookups. Lo-Fi doesn't have dependency on server, data sync happens on the background. This is no guarantee of fast software, but there's a potential for near-instant response.<br /> 3.1.2 Data not trapped on one device <br /> Data sync will be discussed in another section. Server works as off-site backup. The issue of conflict will also be discussed later.<br /> 3.1.3 The network is optional<br /> It's difficult to retrofit offline support to SaaS. Lo-Fi allows CRUD offline and data sync might not require the Internet: Bluetooth/local Wi-fi could be enough.<br /> 3.1.4 Seamless collabs<br /> Conflicts can be tricky for complex file formats. Google Docs became de facto standard. This is the biggest challenge for Lo-Fi, but is believed to be possible. It's also expected that Lo-Fi supports multiple collab.

Dark Emu controversy took heavy toll on author Bruce Pascoe by [[Myles Wearring]]

Bruce Pascoe has a valuable take on the Austrialian version of what comes close to some of America/Canada's issues with the idea of "pretendian", though in his case it's slight amounts of Indigenous heritage. (see the video interview on ABC).

Sighting: use of "given name" as the official name for the field instead of "first name".

Creating on Small Typewriters by [[Joe Van Cleave]]

Portable typewriters give up a level of professionalism in one's documents for their size and ease of portability.

In particular, the slug alignments may be slightly off compared to larger machines. Ideally they allow for one to be good enough, especially for first draft documents or journaling.

Zusammenfassender Bericht zu den Klimadaten zum Januar 2025, dem wärmsten Monat Januar seit Beginn von Temperaturaufzeichnungen. Die anhaltend hohen Temperaturen nach dem Beginn des La Niña-Einflusses schockieren Forschende. Es gibt dafür bisher keine Erklärungen. Der Klimawissenschaftler Bill McGuire spricht angesichts dieser Daten, den Überflutungen in Valencia und den Waldbränden bei Los Angeles davon, dass ein „allumfassender Klima-Zusammenbruch“ eingesetzt hat.

explore claim - the transition from oral language traditions to writing led us to form the sense of interiority and of a "soul" separate from the body - This claim, if we can validate it, can have profound implications - Writing definitely led us to create much more complex words but we were able to do much more efficient timebinding - transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next. - We didn't have to depend on just a few elders to pass the knowledge on. With the invention of the printing press, written language got an exponential acceleration in intergenerational knowledge transmission. - This had a huge feedback effect on the oral language itself, increase the number of words and meanings exponentially. - There are complex recipes for everything and written words allow us to capture the complex recipes or instructions in ways that would overwhelm oral traditions.

Typewriter Video Series - Episode 147: Font Sizes and the Writing Process by [[Joe Van Cleave]]

typewriters for note making

double or 1 1/2 spacing with smaller typefaces may be more efficient for drafting documents, especially first drafts

editing on actual paper can be more useful for some

Drafting on a full sheet folded in half provides a book-like reading experience for reading/editing and provides an automatic backing sheet

typewritten (or printed) sheets may be easier to see and revise than digital formats which may hide text the way ancient scrolls did for those who read them.

Jack Kerouac used rolls of paper to provide continuous writing experience. Doesn't waste the margins of paper at the top/bottom. This may be very useful for first drafts.

JVC likes to thread rolls of paper into typewriters opposite to the original curl so as to flatten the paper out in the end.

quote - progress trap - Nora Bateson - (see below) - it's really easy to get distracted by the alarms that are ringing - and like you said, there are many that pulls us into reaction mode - that has been long steeped in industrial responsiveness - which is to the first order - that is, if something is happening we want to stop that thing from happening - whatever it is, whether it's - a refugee crisis or - a nuclear war threat or a this or a that - and that first order response does not take into account - the next and the next and the next order of consequences - so it's a kind of thinking that is very much appropriate for - engineering, - for building machines - but it's not appropriate for complex living systems

first sighting: I don't think I've seen someone write exactly && nil before.

Apparently to avoid having the return value from errors.add — which should be done solely for its side effect, not to get a return value -- inadvertently being used as a return value for user. It wouldn't make sense to return from user. That should only return a User or nil. And more statically typed languages would allow that to be expressed/enforced from type annotations alone, which would have caught the mistake of returning errors.add if someone had accidentally attempted to return that.

Having user (and therefore call) return nil is key to the unless @current_user working.

"Surrendering" by Ocean Vuong

1. He moved into United State when he was age of five. He first came to United State when he started kindergarten. Seven of them live in the apartment one bedroom and bathroom to share the whole. He learned ABC song and alphabet. He knows the ABC that he forgot the letter is M comes before N.

2. He went to the library since he was on the recess. He was in the library hiding from the bully. The bully just came in the library doing the slight frame and soft voice in front of the kid where he sit. He left the library, he walked to the middle of the schoolyard started calling him the pansy and fairy. He knows the American flag that he recognize on the microphone against the backdrop.

Instead of treating people when they get sick, it should be prevented before it happens. In industrial-era Great Britain in the 19th century, years of protesting led to better work systems and fewer workplace deaths. Reliable health care, and safe drinking water. People without these resources can live up to twenty years less than those with these conditions. Increased education, stricter laws regarding seatbelts, or better building of car seats can prevent car crashes by 41 percent. Multiple solutions, and players address issues from multiple perspectives can fix the issue. creating parks in under resourced community can encourage people to get active and reduce heart disease or other illnesses
