  • I'd really like to have an agora plugin in [[obsidian]] that at least easily links out to the same node in the [[agora]]; and ideally lets me know of how many notes authored by others are there in each node, or pulls them directly.
    • [[vera]] commented we could [[hack]] this by pulling a full local copy of the agora and running it as a separate vault.

The days I don't write I feel a bit lost.

I'm finding it increasingly frustrating how I can't use the agora at the day job; I run a copy of it for my own purposes, but I can't use obsidian for corp note taking, so there's some friction involved in switching back and forth. Still, it could be worse; but I tend to get hung up/distracted by lack of integration. If it were up to me I'd make all my work public and thus integrate all my writing in one agora.

• realized my oculus runs on [[display port]] not [[hdmi]]. the connectors look similar, I thought it was [[mini hdmi]] on my laptop because connector was so big lol, ok another visit to amazon to get the right thing

  • I ended up getting a display port to [[usb c]] adapter, we'll see if that works out

• Respect to the project managers of the world. That stuff is hard.
• [[Commown]] looks really interesting - "A cooperative electronics rental service. Commown will never sell a smartphone and guarantees to do everything possible to repair and (re)rent them for as long as possible."
• Discovered via [[FairTEC]] - "a collective group of actors committed to digital sobriety". They are offering rental of Fairphones with e preinstalled.
  • [[Is FairTEC a vanguard stack?]]

22:30 quick theory: brain caches every image

then re-refers - this is how we have such great image or facial recognition (most of us). things tend to look nicer actually if we have seen them before!! if there are fewer distinct numbers present in a sequence, the sequence is more visually appealing - or carries less visual weight!

22:44 make useless things

make useless stuff - austin henley, asst prof don't waste your time on homework problems - make something that's fun for you!! it doesn't matter what utility or business purpose it serves, because we don't have to be entreprenuers - just make it cool : ) and finish it!! make it fun! enjoy it!

work programming and programming for fun can be two separate skills - programming outside of work can improve your productivity at work, but it doesn't necessarily impact your ability to navigate software development, right? it's okay to make things that are fun and cool and that other people enjoy!
