@ChrisJWilson great point. Maybe Governments should enable efficiencies rather than be efficient themselves. Make sure the structure is there for other thing to flourish.
@benwerd wow lovely find! Since the ongoing enshittification of google etc I often now just search on reddit but this post opens up a few other resources, already got into some of the music ones.
@mbkriegh it could be about facing death but also maybe the feeling she gets when she pushes herself to the limit….a kind of meditation I remember reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Murakami Haruki and motivation for running covers many things. You should ask her about it.
@mbkriegh beautiful quotes. I certainly feel that as a society if we talked about death more we would all be a little happier and our inevitable end would be easier for us to look at.
@vladcampos While I love the direction OneFolder is going there are a few critical bugs and some user interface problems (which may be bugs) that mean I can't recommend it. For example tags and comments saving/reading is a totally different behaviour, or having to delete in app images you moved in finder, and that is just the start. @astrophoenix suggested geeqie which looks like its worth a look but I am getting a little tired of downloading and trying utilities that don't work well. I should write another post on this topic. 😣
@vladcampos I have the same problem / itch see Obsidian But For Images onefolder is still not ready for prime time but looks promising. Eagle is amazing until you realise they bury your images in a byzantine database of folders. Still using Adobes Bridge!
@annahavron @bapsi I believe 'hän' was added by Swedish christian missionaries to the Finnish language as they didn't like everything and everybody being referred to as 'se' or 'it'. Hän was for god (probably a him sneaked in there no doubt) but the fins just took it and used it to refer to everybody anyway. I learned this from @jayeless . Heres a link to her post.
@mbkriegh thanks so much any for adding me to your reading list. Yes there are days in summer when I think truly this is the most beautiful city on earth and even some of the winter days also when it's so cold the air is dry and the fresh snow sparkles and there is a special quality to the natural silence its amazing. Then there is the dark autumn, cold, wet, bleak...October or Lokakuu literally means mud month. Swings & roundabouts!
@jeroensangers yes podcasts especially i find myself listening to less and less. Good music or maybe an audiobook if i want something to listen to.
@mbkriegh I love Architecture the subject but the practice of it can be very frustrating.
@jeroensangers I very much agree with this. I often take the time when walking to turn off my podcast or spotify and just listen to the nature around me and not think of too much.
@mbkriegh I also read and like your posts though usually don't feel like what I would comment would 'add' anything. I will try to comment more than I post and just 'give thanks' a little more!
@writingslowly actually it was great you notified me about the relevant post on your blog. I took a look through your site, it's really good & lots of interesting thoughts about zettlekasten systems. Your tiddlywiki system looks amazing, I did use tiddlywiki back in the day but it never stuck for me. Anyway thanks again!
@writingslowly what a great name for it, that's going in my Zettlekasten! The name is so accurate as the implication of the origin story suggests we continue to fall for the same ruse seemingly at every new technological breakthrough.
@mitchw sounds like tumblr is basically becoming a theme…
@odd 👍
@odd I can recommend The Flat Share by Beth O'Leary also in a similar vein - to get your romcom list started!
@Denny If more people felt the same as you we'd be in a better place right now....
@Denny You are way better than me. I still fly every year as my family live in the UK and I live in Finland. I offset the carbon wherever possible but am aware how bad a fix that is. The solution is to cut down on air travel drastically and removing local flights is a no-brainer!
@odd those are great summer reads. You & Me on Vacation is also good but less so than those too IMHO.
@jabel Thanks. Sometimes the numbers are so starck!
@lukemperez @JohnBrady I basically agree though I would like to push back a little on the word 'freedom' used I think here to cover for a bunch of other stuff that would need unpacking. You are after all also breaking the law in the U.S for shooting kids in a school or shooting up in the parking lot or negligently running over someone. It's more like protection/ unprotection a feature of state & culture. Maybe I'm being too pedantic I don't know.
@lukemperez & @JohnBrady deaths while young…drugs, guns, road deaths. If you make it to middle age you have same life expectancy it seems.
@jabel yes completely terrible and luckily will never be built. Still it sets a bad example.
