I started playing Exapunks, a Zachtronics game. I printed off the zine and everything. Just totally enjoying the retrofuturistic cyberpunk vibe.
I say retrofuturistic - cyberpunk now feels like an accurate commentary on the present day (lolsob).
The revolution will not be displayed on your refrigerator. The revolution will not have Terms of Service and a Privacy Notice. The revolution will not receive over the air updates.
The revolution will not be advertised.
The guy makes a lot of great points and we have a lot to figure out about present-day problems of overconsumption, AI slop, closed source, etc as a species.
LLMs are peak overconsumption, they’re everywhere I didn’t ask for it.
E.g. Zoom companion??? Why???
I did use to find the idea of an AGI singularity really interesting but current AI is already too destructive in some very miserable ways, and it feels like entertaining a futuristic scenario is in “cosy catastrophe” territory…
Tysm, that’s really helpful!
Getting that pen and paper boost but with digital information is goals.
I will perhaps start with one tool, give it a really good chance, and review the options after some use. I found with bullet journaling that while it was helpful right away, it was only with spending some time with it that I could evaluate it fairly.
I’m tempted to start with org mode but my emacs is soooo rusty lol
I have exactly one browser bookmark I use: the zoom link for my therapist.
Sums up my online world. Chaos and therapy!
Whereas, offline I have a neat bullet journal and I collect my thoughts and tasks in a way that feels natural.
Now I think about it, the difference between online and offline for me is stark. So I’ll be looking into the link tree systems you suggested - thanks!
Already moved to Linux on a permanent basis and enjoying the better audio stability and routing for music production, so how much are they paying me to go back?
