We heard a tree crack and fall last night when the wind rose. The leek I planted by the logging trail must be happy about this tropical downpour after so many dry days.

"Because our computers are Turing-complete universal von Neumann machines. That means that any enshittificatory alteration to a program can be disenshittified with another program. When Tesla installs code that says you have to pay an extra monthly fee to use your whole battery, they invite a modder to start selling a kit to jailbreak that battery and charge it all the way up." Not leaving the hammock until either the kindle batteries or my glass of hibiscus tea runs out. It is SO nice to lay at anchor for more than 2 days! Dev & I have been walking in the forest everyday, building up our leg muscles again :neofox_googly: I now have lots of time to work on my little comic, and to advance other projects~

The EatLancet report is probably the best thing I've read on nutrition and sustainability in a long time. the tl;dr is eating a lot of sustainably grown plant foods is ideal for us and the environment. But seeing the why of it is compelling. https://eatforum.org/content/uploads/2019/07/EAT-Lancet_Commission_Summary_Report.pdf @dualhammers In Gregger's last book, there's a whole chapter on the various finding on why plants that have been nibbled by insects turn out to be more nutritious, that blew my mind a bit. I was expecting it to be mentioned in the Lancet Commission, if you're interested I can pick out that chapter and send it over, I think it'll interest you :)  The ability to understand words when the first and last letters are stable, but the middle letters are scrambled is known as “typoglycemia”. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy*, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. * No such research was carried out at the University of Cambridge.

@neauoire I think one has to be literate to be able to have typoglycemia. Very surprised this was so easy to read. I am really bad at anagrams, but the first and last letter seem to nail it.  "I have tried to rescue from oblivion a subaltern horror: the vast, contradictory Total Library, whose vertical wildernesses of books run the incessant risk of changing into others that affirm, deny, and confuse everything like a delirious god."  Integrated the Uxntal opcode reference into uxn.wasm. Now every opcode implementation has documentation and examples. https://github.com/remko/uxn.wasm/blob/main/src/uxn.wat #uxn @remko That's really nice, is there a way to query the documentation in wasm the same way you would in CL? We finally emerged from the fog bank that haunts the north of the island, and sailed into the remains of a familiar Desolation Sound summer. The sound of dinghies being pulled up the beach, dry mosses crackling under your feet. Do our legs remember how to walk, where are our fair weather clothes, put away the firewood, the sun setting, catching up with friends, our time apart has it been years, no, we have just seen you haven't we. How was it up there? Was it fun.

 Brown your own deck by using our patented "no windlass" anchor hauling method!

 The two rope loops made using a double fisherman's knot that we use aboard Pino to haul in the rope rode :>... they were very usefult to us this summer, very useful to help smear the mud around the deck. @d6 Check out that new cursor 🐻 It makes it easier to read on all background colors.  is inordinately proud of this booklet that @rose_alibi and I wrote, designed, & printed ourselves as part of a series we're launching called Other Networks for Everyone. we'll mail off copies to everyone who signed up in the coming weeks and also will release a pdf soon on https://othernetworks.net/#othernetworks

 @loriemerson @rose_alibi Amazing! Looking forward to PDF version or any format, really. I tried to build a radio transmitter in college (with limited funds) and failed. I'm hoping I'll do better this time around.  @loriemerson I’m discovering the “Other Networks” project thanks to this post. What you do there seems really interesting. Reminds me of what my friends at @laresille are doing. It’s a collaborative, feminist alternative fiction project exploring what “Internet” could look like if women didn’t get pushed out of IT. |
