challenge for qualia relationism: it seems plausible that for a relation between two qualia to be established to actually create the quality of the experience, they should occur at near points in time. however, people in great pain don’t usually at the same time seem to recall memories of especially pleasurable moments.

: qualia relationism: the properties of qualia are defined by their relations to other qualia (but distinguish ordinal rankings for properties of qualia without a zero-point from cardinal properties of qualia without a zero-point). E.g., the hedonic treadmill is not accidental, but a deep fact of the universe.

: qualia internalism: the properties of a quale are internal to the quale, and therefore the properties of different qualia can be projected onto a cardinal scale with zero point.

if I could figure out a way to integrate scheduling tasks in !zetdo, and maybe clock in/out, I think I wouldn’t really need org-agenda anymore.

a supplementary component to !zetdo called something like “due”, which schedules items in the TODO and dynamically creates schedules similar to org-agenda. #halfbaked

I really need to feel less guilty about not doing bullshit. I decided not to do bullshit work, and it ended up being a nice day.

it really feels like I spend a few hours every day trying to will myself into doing what other people want. I suppose everyone has that to an extent. It’s just really hard to do things that I know are stupid, when there are other more important things to do. Really winds me up.

today was one of those “do what you want to do, not what you’re supposed to do” kinds of days for me

Is there a german word for the situation where somebody jokingly asks for the german word for an obscure phenomenon, and some Germans half-ironically half-sincerely trying to come up with words to describe the phenomenon?

Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.

I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net I think lex will do that too currently. Should be able to lock that down.

Why it’s bad to have a high GDP

by Luke Smith, originally a blog post in November 2018, rewritten for this website.

The common way of looking at Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is that it’s a metric of economic success: more GDP is more wealth.
Wealth is good. “Poverty” (meaning low per capita GDP) is bad.
Nowadays, pretty much everyone talks about “economics” like this as if this truism was scribbled on the … ⌘ Read more

@xuu@txt.sour.is Btw… I noticed your pod has some changed I’m not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you’ve made and possibly let’s discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

Signal Status

Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)

Twtxt is still very much alive and well. I just wrote a quick tool to crawl as much of the Twtxt network as I could and here’s what the results are:

Crawled 516 feeds
Found 52464 twts

That means there are >500 unique Twtxt feeds/users, and over ~52k Twts posted to date. 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net in theory shouldn’t need to let users add feeds.. if they get mentioned by a tracked feed they will get added automagically. on a pod it would just need to scan the twtxt feed to know about everyone.

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux@twt.u53.us and @xuu@txt.sour.is I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

Disadvantage of twtxt: less incentives to reply to people since it’s not certain they’ll ever see it. My current solution to that is to follow everybody on the we-are-twtxt and only unfollow if they twt a lot of stuff I’m not interested in
