Beware of absolutisms and absolute policy positions.
Especially when they tinge of ideology or moralism.

My contribution to #ArtTips:
Enjoy being where you are.
No you're neither Einstein, Napoleon, Jesus nor Muhammad.
But just enjoy being who you are.
Because if you fail to enjoy being who you are, you'll probably loose all the energy you actually *need* to become who you're actually *meant to be*.

Working on getting the snap updated for the upcoming @inkscape release. If you've got a moment to test it I'd appreciate it. You can switch using this command:
snap refresh --candidate inkscape
And switch back with --stable.
I personally recommend discussing the essay either at Charlie's blog, or over at Joerg Fliege's Diaspora post:

...though yes, at the moment, there have been no discussion at Joerg's Diaspora post so far.

Politics: Ahimsa, Satya Graha, Swadesi
I don't know it's like, I know nothing about nothing, but increasingly I find myself wanting to declare my political views as a most idealistic as possible version of Ahimsa - Satya Graha - Swadesi...
Would this effectively be close to, or far from, left-leaning anarcho-syndicalism? I honestly don't know...

Destroy everything.
Destroy everything.
Destroy everything.
Nevermind merely tarring feathering & quartering everyone and everything involved with Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle and Twitter.
Computers are evil and destroy all electronics.

Outer Range (2022) was fun. I wouldn't be too upset if there won't be a 2nd season I guess, but it does end in a bit too dangly of a cliffhanger for me to be completely comfortable with it.
Disk-horse. I'm starting to like this euphemistic synonym for "discourse"....

Early on in the conversation the witch said
"Your existence does not require anyone's approval."
What followed was as heartrending as she knew it would be, with more unanswerable why's than she liked, but in the end her guest said:
"My existence needs no justification."
"True."

This is a really good piece on "Web3" and I'm not saying that because Gilad Edelman let me rant at him for hours as part of his research. It also feels like the first *WiReD* article I've read in Wired for years: https://www.wired.com/story/web3-paradise-crypto-arcade/
