• Woke up in [[montreux]]
  • Very beautiful, but very fancy/posh as well (in particular in high season)
• Tried to help [[todd]]
• Went to [[chillon castle]]
  • That was a very extensive castle! We spent a few hours there.
  • Saw things like [[two handed swords]], [[halberds]] and [[morning stars]]. It reminded me of [[D&D]] and [[The Witcher]].
• Finally got [[Pedagogy of the Oppressed]] by [[Paulo Freire]] in my reader.
• [[meta]] on link formatting.
  • In the last [[fellowship of the link]] we discussed [[uppercase]] vs [[lowercase]] in links; it seems I may be the only one in the group who does all lowercase inside links.
  • I do it because I'm lazy and also because it seems to me that the double square brackets already make the words/phrase in question stand out as interesting/important entities. To some extent I think skipping uppercase makes it so that some of the extra effort involved in typing brackets is "traded off" by saving on uppercasing.
  • The group thought the argument was weak, though, and on second thought I think I tend to agree.
  • Also I moved anagora.org to not rendering [[square brackets]] by default, so what happens is that my writing looks more careless now than it did back when all square brackets were explicit.
  • So I think I'm going to try moving back to uppercasing links and seeing how it works :)
  • #push [[uppercase project]]
    • That does mean I need to make a few changes.
    • [[wiki vim]] should resolve links to either lowercase or uppercase version depending on what exists/what I want to have at the file level.
      • Currently most of my files are lowercase and that probably makes sense; I probably need to define a new "slugging" function? Out of the box what happens is that if I use a link in uppercase and visit it, a new file will be created in uppercase even if the note already exists in lowercase.
    • [[push]] and [[pull]] should take either uppercase or lowercase in anagora.org.
      • This might work already just because of how [[agora server]] works, but I need to check.
      • -> [[testing]]
      • yep, it works, I love it [[when the Agora just works]].

  • [[agora pkg chapter]]
    • wow, this is looking pretty terrible :)
      • should I be worried?
        • I don't think so, I will have more time to work on it soon.
        • and I do plan on giving it my best.
        • but I think it needs essentially rewriting.

• [[Socially useful production]]

  • [[Technology Networks for Socially Useful Production]] has some good stuff on this.
  • Stems back to [[The Lucas Plan]] and seems relevant to [[Just transition]] and [[climate justice]].

• [[Doughnut Economics]] and [[Degrowth]].

  • Jason Hickel likes [[Doughnut Economics]]. DE presents itself as somewhat growth-agnostic, and Kate Raworth doesn't like the term degrowth. Hickel says that where degrowth comes in is that developed countries need degrowth to get back in the doughnut. And developing countries need growth to get into the doughnut. Once inside the doughnut, in both cases, the aim would be to stay steady within it.
