Please be obscure.

The common can survive without your help.

The obscure needs you.

The horror of an era replete with magic (technology) is that your choices matter. You can lose your life in here, gazing blankly into a whispering void. Or you can seize great power... wisdom of ages at your finger tips, should you know the correct incantations (search strings) to seek it. But noone will rescue you from the former, should you get distracted in your quest for the latter.

- To construct the interface between biological and technological selves in a manner oriented to support their underlying nature.

- To support the integration of technological with biological selves in order to extend personal capability.

- To defend the interface between technological selves and the external network in order to protect personal integrity and autonomy.

- To disseminate the capabilities so obtained as widely as the desire for them supports.

I'm not leaving the net. But I am leaving the UI.

At least for a time, hopefully permanently. Enough is enough. I know timeline is a dark pattern for me. I know better than to allow dark patterns to soak up my time.

"The app" is the lie they had to sell us - that for us to receive information, we had to run their code and see what they wanted us to see in the order they wanted us to see it in. I reject the app model.

I will emerge my crystal towers of knowledge above bitstream fields of data. I will do it on my own terms. There is no efficiency in succumbing.

Ftr, this account does not willfully discriminate against partially or wholely synthetic intelligences.

mind, the entire emacs documentation could use a change of century...

'kill' for 'cut to clipboard' and 'yank' for 'paste' has only grown more preposterous.

You know who's got it's-all-IRC-guy beat? The one using emacs as their IRC client...

To be fair, the emacs experience has improved a lot since I last encountered it. But that was 20 years ago, so I should hope so! (Vim hasn't. )

Next in bad ideas: The emacs phone. It doesn't even run irssi. Why would you need to leave emacs? ;)

M-x phone-dialer launch

who has advice on coping with historical awareness and existential horror wrt. uspol? I can't really afford random breakdowns.

Maybe I'll learn emacs.

'Expedited removal' is the phase I hoped to have my mom (a citizen) her passport and a dual citizenship (to which she has right) before.

This is where it really begins...

Rising CO2 and temperatures like they are, we might want to distrust our collective intelligence as well.

The generation of leaded paint and gasoline are still with us. Maybe distrust of their collective intelligence isn't unwarranted.
