@jef @PaniczGodek [Jef! As another prediluvian, I’m glad to see you here.]After 40 years with it, I regard emacs as a programmable interactive environment for implementing (primarily text) workflows. Using it to edit source code, read email, or manage one’s agenda are just applications of that engine. From this perspective, small editors with emacs keybinds (mg/e/&c) lack the Buddha nature.

I need some geek emotional support. This is the day I’m letting an excellent domain name I originally registered on 2003-09-12 expire…

@anna_widera And now Bukhara! If you notice some strange silver objects in the last photo, it’s because the Bukhara Biennial is running right now, turning the whole city into an open air art exhibition.https://www.bukharabiennial.uz

@anna_widera More from the biennial. The last one is a tower of burnt ceramic mobile phones designed to point toward obsolescence and waste in digital devices.

@anna_widera We are currently staying in the Ichan-Qаl’а of Khiva, the historical capital of the Khorazm region.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itchan_KalaThis is the area from which (by most accounts) Al-Khwarizmi (whose name gives us the word “algorithm” and whose book gives us the word “algebra”) originated before settling at the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi

“People think advertising is the root cause of social media’s problems, but they’re wrong: advertising, after all, funded the news industry for decades. Social lock-in is the original sin of social media platforms like X and Facebook.”https://mathewlowry.medium.com/building-resilient-social-media-9f7568a501a6
