One of the problems of digital systems is that they pretend to represent infinite resources. So we end up collecting gigabytes of media, scrolling endlessly and opening hundreds of tabs. It's very hard to know when to stop so you eventually feel overwhelmed, confused, tired and freaked out. And since these systems are based on individualized, interactive choices we tend to blame ourselves for bad choices or poor self-discipline. But we are dealing with stuff that is _cognitively hostile_. It's designed, in many cases, intentionally, to constantly cut off our ability to reflect and process our thoughts and emotions or to see them in a broader social context. But we are human and don't have infinite capacities. You can't expect yourself to become a zen monk just to get a few things done with the computer! As I see it, the way forward is to try to put ourselves in different situations where we don't need super-human powers of self control and concentration. An interface (digital or not) should be limited and mirror our own abilities to think. #permacomputing and related approaches are helpful because they have more human scale limitations built-in and frame these constraints not as a problem, but a virtue.

@gosha something like labels and flags is decidedly and explicitly _missing_ because I don't use them but FWIW I wrote #taro (https://hacklab.nilfm.cc/taro) which would theoretically work on macOS (although I haven't tried it). now you've got me thinking how I might implement a labels feature...
#xmodmap can swap mouse buttons on demand - so my riosh script that uses #slop to draw windows like #plan9 #rio can actually use the right mouse button! ironically though #openbox has terrible behavior when hotplugging monitors compared to the dumb but predictable behavior in #ryudo, so that's the last(?) thing to adjust to have my openbox config be essentially an EWMH-compliant version of my ryudo setup...
busy saturday... babysat our big post-codefreeze deployment this morning; no issues with the deployment per se but we discovered a 5+ years-old bug :D then had a web consultation that went well and it looks like we're moving forward with the work, which is excellent timing since my other side gig is winding down. and took a wonderful walk with the kiddo around the neighborhood. there is a lot to explore. it's been a good day!

I don't have much time today so I'll keep it short, implemented theme parsing at the OS level. I wanted the little interface there is to follow the colors defined by the theme file. That's it, just wanted to make things a tad comfier while I work for the rest of the month. More tomorrow, until then I've got lifelines to splice.

Please read. This is important as fuck, to me at least. It is no news that LGBT is not doing great in russia. Since december 1st, LGBT itself is an extremist group on russian soil, and a little before that government banned trans healthcare. All I am asking is to sign a petition that would allow for trans people from russia to get humanitarian visas to Germany. All it would take from you personally is to spend 10-15 minutes of your life, that could possibly save someone else's life. The petition is available here: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/content/petitionen/_2023/_08/_22/Petition_156274.html Non-germans can sign it, I signed it as a russian citizen. Please boost this on mastodon, that's the very least you can do if you don't have time / dont want to sign the petition.

I've been working from within a flow-based operating system for a few days now. It's beginning to feel a bit familiar. It has been pretty nice to make and unmake communication between programs as they run.

It is official now: Russia's Supreme Court declared "extremist" and banned the "LGBT movement". A single display of LGBT flag, offline or online, is punishable by a fine. And there is a new law coming up, "justification" of "extremism" online (as in, not denouncing), punishing it by a prison sentence of up to five years.
In case of multiple offenses, the punishment is up to 4 years in prison.
Activism, online or offline, and potentially donations to LGBT charities, are punished by up to 6 years in prison.
Allies of LGBT activism are now legally banned from elections.

My piece on sexuality, desire, and politics is now out! 'Within abortion restrictions, there is an implicit allowance for some forms of sodomy. This tolerance is at clear odds with the attempts to hide queer sexuality and queer sodomy from children. Even so, the acceptance of some non-procreative sex demonstrates an awareness that eros can never be fully controlled.'
