I added an agora current events board to contain discussions of political and current events to that category. This was due to a increase support for a separate board for political talk.
Looks like Luke Smith is back
I'll always be thankful I stumbled into his channel ages ago, since he's what got me into Linux. This must be like 7 or 8 years ago now... but still.
It's something I've put off doing for a while... but adding more people from Agoraroad to my webring/button collection. If you'd like your button to make a fine addition to my collection, give me a shout.
Also @HammerKoopa , @Andy Kaufman finally got around to adding both of yous to it
Obsidian is so good, I find it amazing I've been sleeping on it for so long. Dataviewjs, templates and tasks practically turbocharge it. Best notetaking setup I've ever had, and I can actually stick with it
Watched the Minecraft movie with a friend since another friend got tickets on the wrong day and they were spare.
I kid you not, every time there was a reference to a minecraft thing: "Flint and Steel", "Chicken Jockey", "We do some mining, then some crafting" the room went wild and clapped like it's a standing ovation. Ridiculous. Still, it was funny and it had its moments, but not a film I'll ever go out of my way to rewatch
tfw when your brain has enough microplastics to make a plastic spoon
We'll probably be looking back on Microplastics in 40-50 years time being like "damn, that was the asbestos of our generation", but it's probably gonna be a hell of a lot harder to fix issues caused by it than with Asbestos
Hollow Knight silksong news
Apparently releases in 2025. But after they showed footage for that Xbox gamepass thing where they said Silksong would release in the year... I'm suspicious and distrusting of it
While I was in the Philippines I took a handful of pictures with my PSVita. I think there's something about crappy cameras that looks cooler to me...
Makes it feel like the clock turns back... like we're in the early 2000s again, hopeful times blessed with techno-enthusiasm. I think Lo-fi stuff is to impressionism, what modern Hi-fi stuff is to the renaissance painters
Me and a Kiwi friend joke quite a bit about how New Zealand is basically southern hemisphere Britain.
But after thinking about it a little more I think there's a bit of truth to it. Peter Jackson did choose New Zealand as the place to shoot for the Shire, which the Shire is the representation of the English countryside. I wonder then... if New Zealand's countryside is instead the idealisation of the English countryside?
This is an interesting video. Personally? I do not believe there should be Free Speech in these places. They are rarely political dogfight arenas, so politics shouldn't be brought up much in the first place(I say much because there's situations where, like with one of Biden's executive orders all American-based software projects must cease any active development with Russians, which hits a lot of OSS organisations). They should be focused on software, putting forward a small set of legal rights around the software that offer some freedoms of use... But, if you're going to allow political dogfights(as these places can't resist doing and sensationalising), you'd better be willing to take that with free speech, otherwise it's a dogfight against strawmen.
I recently learnt a random writing trick for getting "punchier", more "ancestral memory" in writing. Get an Anglish wordbook. The wordstock contained within has a more bewitching effect. For context of what Anglish is, it is a "purer" form of English that's a reality-based conlang. Where an old english word hasn't fallen out of favour, but sees relative disuse compared to their French, Latin, Greek, German and so on loan words... that's an excellent time to use it.
