Linus Lee: Resonant.A few times in my life I’ve been struck with chance encounters and longer relationships with people who I felt resonated deeply and naturally with some part of me. I didn’t have to sit them down and patiently tell them my life story. They just got it (more)

Geoffrey Litt: Foam: Software as Curation. So there’s a standard way that many note taking apps work these days. You choose an app, which includes a UI to read/write your notes, and cloud sync so you can work on your computer or your phone. Maybe you get decent offline support if you’re lucky.

Linus Lee: Incremental note-taking. Though I’m hesitant to say I’m there yet, I’ve found myself repeatedly coming back to a group of related ideas I’m going to call incremental note-taking about how to best gather knowledge into notes, and how we should design tools built around this workflow (more)

Erik Hoel: Why we stopped making Einsteins. (With published responses following.) I think the most depressing fact about humanity is that during the 2000s most of the world was handed essentially free access to the entirety of knowledge (WorldWideWeb) and that didn’t trigger a golden age. (more)

Everyone has a complaint list about Mastodon, so I should write down my own. More importantly, I should consider whether such changes can/must be implemented at the level of app/flavor, instance, client, or add-on (cf Fediverse). (more)
