• I'm an [[sre]] at [[google]]; you should know that about me.
• If you have any concerns about my employment, I'd love to discuss them! I believe that [[google]] is a [[good company]] to work for, but I'm interested on feedback. If nothing else I can try to pass it along! But I'd love to also learn from it.

• asked [[william gibson]] over Twitter, I'm a fan, of course he doesn't have to respond.
• this is a [[short]] story of sorts I've been meaning to write.

• I am behind on all social networks and chat platforms, but I will try to always stay up to date with [[matrix dms]] and [[agora journals]].
• Apologies for any destructive delay!

• What I mean with this is: I will be reading your journals and trying to learn your communication style with good intentions.

• I'll try to learn from you and help you and others.

[[Maya]] has an article related to [[Oblique Strategies]] and [[tarot for thought]] - introducing randomness into chaos: culture, oblique strategies, and tarot for… (shared by Maya in hypothesis annotation to my journal from yesterday, thanks Maya!)

I wonder out loud if there is any linkage between [[Law of Requisite Variety]] and the [[pluriverse]], [[Nested-I]], [[Ubuntu Rationality]] stuff from [[Free, Fair and Alive]].

• e.g. if I think of the [[Agora]] / [[FedWiki]] and [[Wikipedia]] contrast, and the claim that [[Multiple voices are better than one]], then I think that multiple voices is more variety, and then more able to provide the variety needed to adequately navigate complex questions of coordination. And the flattening of voices in to one is an unhelpful reduction of variety.
• On the flip side, too much variety leads to a [[cacophony of voices]].
• I can not claim to know enough about either space to know if this is bollocks or not. Gut says worth exploring.

Listening: [[Platform Socialism and Web3]]. Great stuff (the platform socialism more of interest to me than the web3, but chat around that is interesting too.)

• [[Death]]
  • [[Elza Soares]], one of the biggest names of [[Brazilian music]], has suffered a [[death by natural causes]] today at [[home]].
    • She was [[91]] years old.

    • "Eu sempre quis fazer coisa diferente, não suporto rótulo, não sou refrigerante", comparava Elza. "Eu acompanho o tempo, eu não estou quadrada, não tem essa de ficar paradinha aqui não. O negócio é caminhar. Eu caminho sempre junto com o tempo."

      Desde que lançou o álbum "A mulher do fim do mundo" em 2015, a cantora viveu mais uma fase de renascimento artístico. “Me deixem cantar até o fim”, pediu Elza em verso da música que batiza o álbum."

      • [[Translation]]:

        • "I've always wanted to try different things, I can't stand labels, I'm not a soda", Elza used to compare. "I keep up with the times, I'm not old-fashioned, there's no such thing as 'staying put' for me. One must walk. I always walk alongside the times." Ever since she released the "The woman of the end of the world" album in 2015, the singer has lived one more phase of artistic rebirth. "Let me sing till the end", pleaded Elza in a verse from the song that gives the album its title.

• I've finally [[listen]]ed to [[Hoody]]'s [[Departure]] [[album]]. It was really great!
