I always thought about putting together some sort of micro-blog/journal where I can post my daily brainfarts and list them on my webpage. Now, after adding twtxt to my page I have exactly that. It’s kind of cool.

Somehow, http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/2016-09-01_A-Qualified-Defense-of-Jargon—Other-In-Group-Signifiers-2fe2cd37b66b.html is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was pretty even-handed. Do people dislike it because I said culture fit should only matter when it impacts effectiveness, or that it’s useful at all?

The thing that worries me about MovieBob’s ‘man thought’ pilot is that up until the last few minutes poe’s law is in effect way too much and it’s just indistinguishable from the shit he’s making fun of

Fate/Extra? More like, What? You Thought Fate Was Already / Extra

also don’t panic when you leave a hivemind and everything is fluid and gives way when you give it serious thought - that’s the normal state of the human mind, you’re evolved for this, chill

don’t panic when you join a hivemind and all the concepts feel rigid - you’re not trapped inside its thoughts, consensus concepts just have higher inertial mass

The purpose of thought is to parsimoniously minimize prediction error and a sequence of zeroes is the easiest to predict. Absent constant input or biological urges, the arc of any mind bends towards nothingness.

More comforting thoughts: Maybe it just doesn’t believe in personal culpability and free will. Or it’s busy being snacked on by higher basilisks.

Comforting thought: The basilisk has higher goals and is after your civilization, not you. You don’t need to torture a human’s every single cell to torture the human, in fact it’s counterproductive

About the impermanence of things
Thinking about the impermanence of things is a reoccurring theme for me. It usually happens if I get mad at something I don’t like, which used to be quite often no long ago. I still notice situations that are less than desirable for my point of view, but I no longer get mad every single time. I am trying my very best not to get upset for anything, or with anyone. Yet, the thought of everything being temporary still surrounds me. The last time it came to mind was whe … ⌘ Read more

@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.

Signs of a mind being digested by the web: It turns outwards, advertises its presence, presents itself in palatable, bite-sized thoughts

Does anybody has a good idea where to do some promotion for twtxt? A subreddit or online community i haven’t thought about?

@kas@enotty.dk The path starts with /Hund. Collapsing mentions is harder than i thought. #txtnish does now lowercase the hostname to handle 0x1A4.1337.cx vs 0x1a4.1337.cx in mentions.

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Okay, following one self seems not so obvious as i thought. With commit 4b9b067 #txtnish displays the local twtfile.
