  1. @eludom There are awesome paper based methods out there. For example #BulletJournal.

    However, that's focused on todo and project management and not so much on #knowledgebase management.

    The original #Zettelkasten method was on paper and for that purpose.

    Digital methods scale much better and require less effort though IMO.

    (fixed interestingly wrong language tag)

  6. @eludom I don't like telling people what to do, but I can say I still use #OfflineIMAP! #Debian packages the git releases from github.com/OfflineIMAP/offline which are more recent than what you're looking at.

    I handed over maintainership some years back when I considered it "done". I wish we'd more often consider software "done". The new maintainers did some good things; it eventually had to be ported to Python 3, for instance.

    Fundamentally, I trust it to not lose mail, which is most important.

  7. @eludom Agreed; algorithms as the big corporate sites have implemented them are pretty bad. But really, 20 years ago #slrn and other #Usenet readers had scorefiles that let you adjust the score of a post by various pattern matching. It was reasonably effective. Current Mastodon filtering is primitive in comparison. Something that's user-controlled would be nice.

  8. @eludom The initial thread scope was Doctorow's discussion of monopoly harms, and especially Robert Bork and Aaron Director's whole-cloth invention of "consumer value" as the sole concern of anti-trust policy, which is an utter fabrication, that's become the operative model in the US, and elsewhere, thanks specifically to their project to instill this myth.

    AT&T operated under anti-trust and consent-decree investigations and limitations since 1913 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_). The development of UNIX by Ritchie & Thompson occurred under terms of a 1956 consent decree forbidding the company from taking part in the "computer systems" (devices, software, operating systems) market. The options were to shelve to project ... or give it away. "From Ken, with love" tapes of the system were not directly supported by corporate policy, but weren't forbidden either. A grey no-property zone.

    By 1980, the final stages of the US v. AT&T case, filed in 1974, were clear. The company would be broken up 4 years later, its monopoly was largely broken, and the Unix Wars and BSD lawsuit began, with the unencumbered from-scratch alternative Linux gaining a critical foothold: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_war

    Since then, the Baby Bells have re-merged and the monopoly resurrected, though in different form and in a different telecoms and computing environment.

  9. @eludom The #StoryOfMel was probably my favorite part of the New Hacker's Dictionary! A legend in every sense of the word.

  10. In which#Knuth gets annoyed at his publishers, creates changing the course of academic publishing and and and sowes the seeds of notebooks et al.

    In which George gets annoyed at a complicated rc file, turns his bashrc into a literate program, writes this blog post about it eludom.github.io/blog/bashrc/ and does not change the world.

    Thanks @@[email protected]

  11. Dragon’s tooth.  Some people climb the tooth to have a picture at the top.  Not me.
