Trawling is the clear-cutting of the fishing world, boycott all fish caught that way.

Seine netting is often terrible too, as it can catch whole schools.

Thank you for your sacrifice

If you grew up with commercial TV, not only is the frequency of ads on youtube bad, but the placement–in the middle of a sentence or a scene–is mentally and emotionally destructive.

Seems like youtube forces sign-in using Unwatched on iOS? An alternative is Vinegar which replaces the video player in Safari, and skips the ads, mostly and usually (until youtube updates some things then vinegar needs to catch up).

Woman on the Edge of Time is still the best at directly addressing a solarpunk society as far as I can tell. Piercy does it both in world building and exposition, while contrasting with both future dystopia and current modern society.

Some of the ideas are original and inspiring, some show that everything has a cost, and some are very challenging.

People aren’t just objecting to the quality of the software, and even more than objecting to the relentless commercialization at every opportunity in the ‘smart’ features, they are rightfully worked up about the firehose of surveillance telemetry these devices are feeding back to the manufacturers.

ADHD: functional notes in abbreviated version on fat strips of painter’s tape on server case or shelf. Passwords go on page dedicated to that server or service in a little black notebook, then eventually in a password manager.

Readme file if my brain lets me, usually 3 months later after hyperfocus on troubleshooting.

35 / 2 = 17.5 + 7 = 24.5

Oh I see why you picked those ages.

Nah.

Every time someone says “but there are no examples of functional socialist countries” remember this situation. Cuba’s socialist system has been under attack for 70+ years.

Capitalism is maintained by guns.

Eh. That’s not correct? I’ve heard it said my whole life.

So slightly better ping than my ISP, then.

6. Showing or requiring great precision or sensitive discernment; subtle.

Big fan of using the classifieds (craigslist or what have you) to grab semi-vintage gear cheap.

You don’t need a fancy amp, just something powerful enough for your speakers. Your speakers should

• fit the space
• have enough bass, or add a subwoofer
• be placed where you will hear the stereo ‘soundstage’
• be less than 20 years old so you don’t have to fuss over maintenance like redoing rubber mounts
• be listened to before you buy

Kind of a nepo baby. Grandfather and father were politicians. Great grandad and uncles were involved in progressive politics, usually officially.

Since Naomi Klein is his spouse, I bet the family get togethers have some interesting conversations.

Also: buddhist concepts like Interdependent Determination and the various verb-oriented cultural approaches typefied by many traditional indigenous societies are alive and well; they just need to spread into the realm of capitalism^nb to take root and flourish.

Anthony Wilden tried with System and Structure and the more casual The Rules are no Game but he was too much of a freak for regular academia, I think… plus I think Lacan had it in for him after their falling out.

Still, if you can find a copy of The Rules are no Game it’s very approachable and lays out a summary of his take on systems theory nicely.

The Neo is similar to the 2020 M1 base MacBook Air but with less effective multicore performance and endurance at higher temperatures. What you can do fairly easily with an 8GB M1 Air:

• edit limited length multilayered HD video without hiccups
• edit short 4K video
• Develop websites up to intermediate complexity
• install homebrew and go to town on the command line and server stack
• manage 40,000+ photos
• run photoshop on average sized RAW files
• a hundred tabs each in firefox and safari
• run old school gaming emulators
• admin of any kind
• hook up a big external monitor
• and a lot more.

(Source: personal experience and many clients doing all of that.)

Not all at once, of course, but macOS swap is fast enough that you can run a lot more of that at once than the limited RAM would suggest. I’d definitely strip down memory usage for A/V production.

The Neo should be pretty close to that, which is a LOT more than basic web and email.

Systems theory, as a discipline, is more needed than ever before.

Territory. Plus maybe ‘go away’?

I dunno. Craft it into your new supervillain’s backstory.
