1 Blindsight, Transhumanism, and Surveillance Capitalism I can not stop thinking about Peter Watts novel Blindsight (2006). It keeps me up at night thinking about its implications and what it says about humanity. Let me tell you about...
On mac, the Command Space~ shortcut is one that can be unbelieveably powerful - not only do you have the native Spotlight app, you can rebind the key to something even more powerful, namely Alfred or in recent years, Raycast. I...
そういえば、昔の話。 レイアウトの図面を描いたり、 ディスプレイで空間ごと世界観を作ってみたり。 そんなことを、ふと思い出した。 （それから数年が経ち、私のこれまで生きてきた文脈には存在しなかった”外側の世界”を知る些細な”情報”に遭遇した。素通りもできたが、無自覚のなかで漂っていたせいで、無意識に自分の動作のベクトルはその未知の領域へ自ずとルートが敷かれる。（只中は中略）結果、”私”とは無関係なものに、長く回遊していた気がする。 いま思えば。...
El pasado 10 de Mayo se celebró la LibreCan 20251, un meetup de software libre, organizado por un servidor. He estado atareado con otras cosas así que aún no había escrito nada al respecto hasta ahora. Hoy es el día de hacer un breve...

Decaf or Java — which version of MTV's website should you choose? Part of the reason it was so difficult for both digital music and video webcasts to gain traction on the web over 1997 was the fickleness of the underlying software: the...
I did it. Leaving the Apple garden for Linux has been easier than anticipated. A new era of personal freedom has finally started. The intro is of course misleading — making it look like I suddenly jumped into deep waters, when in reality...
There is no magic wand. Problematic tech doesn’t work itself out over time. If anything, the systemic issues become further entrenched, and eventually, every just accepts them as a price of doing business. Do not accept “we’ll figure...
So last year I wrote about my cobbled-together proxmox server that I started running and how I installed a Minecraft and the classic arr stack. It was my first foray into self hosting and ever since then I've wanted to stand up a new one...
I really enjoyed the feedback I got on Implementing a Forth. It's a fun subject! I updated it with new notes, an even smaller 'Forth', and a link to this oversized "card" that resulted from thinking about smallness...
Jesus was anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-classist, anti-ableist, anti-religious, and anti-violence. He was pro-welfare, treated women as equals, and refused to pass judgment on people’s sexual choices. He was very protective of children....
