They are really good... Just wish they would come more gradually instead of all at once!

On the 20th anniversary of Zotero's 1.0 release on October 5, 2006, I wrote a history of the collaboration and years it took to create the popular research tool now used by over 20 million people: newsletter.dancohen.org/archive/the-...

How a group of historians took years to imagine Zotero, the research application that would eventually be used by millions

I was in grad school in the history dept. at George Mason while they were developing Zotero and it was exciting to see it come together and use the tool early on. "Research, not re-search!"

I picked up something similar to this off craigs list when I was in grad school and put it in a closet at my house. Then, I ordered microfilm on interlibrary loan and worked on my thesis at home.

Yes. When streaming was new, the rationale was no ads. I thought, "hell yeah, I will gladly pay a subscription to be free of ads!" Now we pay more and still get ads. We have started trying to whittle down the services we pay for, and the ad-to-price ratio is one of the driving considerations.

How about text-based media adopts atproto so that you can have one login to hundreds (thousands?) of outlets and this facilitates amalgamated subscriptions with micro payments for individual articles (like Spotify for news and journals without outlets having to cede autonomy to a 3rd party app).

It is really good for getting you thinking about sabath, gleaning, and jubilee as ways of faith that should be creatively adopted. The examples they give are often specific to densely urban contexts, and kind of overwhelming. Not much of what they suggest can be done as a small personal action.

I have caught myself spiraling into more politics on this site because I have OPINIONS, but I'm on bluesky specifically not to be awash 24/7 in the muck. So send me the books you are reading, pics of pets and landscapes, personal victories, and favorite recipes. Let's see some of the good stuff.

I see what you did there 😂 On a related side-note: my sister's graduation speaker at UNC was Erskine Bowles, and the thesis of his speech was if you can't be good, at least fake it. We've been making "to seem rather than to be" jokes ever since.

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

In 2016 I took my 18-month-old daughter door-knocking for Hilary and it was a great experience. In 2020 the world was too contagious for door-knocking, so I did phone-banking. In 2024 I became a citizen and felt political despair. I think it's time for canvassing again!
