I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

Absolutely no billionaire can do anything to get me to download “Mastodon” and join a “server” whatever in God’s fuck that is. -

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard -

Sep 30, 2022, 9:50 AM -04:00 Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

Sep 30, 2022, 9:35 AM -04:00 I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?

Sep 29, 2022, 10:29 PM -04:00 I think the phrase is referring to the desire to have something both ways, to have something without paying for it

Sep 29, 2022, 8:20 AM -04:00 I think the expression is meant to be understood as "you want to eat your cake and have it too", i.e. you still want the cake after you've eaten it, i.e. you want things both ways. Or, at least, that's the only way it makes sense to me.

Reframing and simplifying the idea of how to keep a Zettelkasten
Given many of the misconceptions I see online of how to keep a zettelkasten, particularly given the focus on the arcane addressing system used by Niklas Luhmann, perhaps it may be helpful to dramatically reframe the question of how to keep a zettelkasten? One page blog posts from people who’ve only recently seen the idea and are synopsizing it without a year or more practice themselves are highly confusing at best. Can I write something we don’t see enough of in spaces relating to zettelkaste... -

Jul 23, 2022, 8:34 AM -04:00 Amaro Showdown at Casa Di Desmond
A while back I started going through a phase where I would buy any reasonably well-reviewed bottle of Italian amaro I could find at my local liquor store, in a halfhearted and somewhat misguided attempt to reconnect with my Italian roots (my mother is from Sicily). I can't honestly say that it worked (what would that even look like? I already talk with my hands, I don't need to do it more) but it did result, as you might expect, in a small collection of Italian amari being added to my home bar.
