  1. Funny Conversation

    Me: So how do you like the Linux Desktops?
    Friend: I hate 'em they either look like Windows or MocOS or something unspeakable breeding with a SmartPhone
    Me: Try the Oxygen Theme for KDE
    Friend: This is so much better that's why I payed 3.5k for my GPU
    me: 🙄😵‍💫
    Friend: I'm a Maximalist after all.

    I swear the moment someone makes a KDE theme with gilded Rococo ornamentatishon she's going to install it and love it forver. Bonus points if it contains a lot of pastels.

  6. How I Use Obsidian to Capture, Distill, and Weaponize Ideas

    Ideas rarely stand alone. They’re fragments of larger structures. When you link a note to two or three others, something starts to form. Not a hierarchy. More like pressure building in certain areas of the graph.

    In writing styles, two opposing approaches steal the spotlight: minimalism and maximalism.
    Sparse prose or elaborate descriptions? See how they stack up against each other.

  9. #Enshittification is more than enough of a reason to ditch anti-user #software, but I think we don’t give enough credence to the exhaustion that many feel when apps insist on creating so much obvious engagement bait, rather than implementing SOLUTIONS to PROBLEMS. Everything wants to be everything to you, from Spotify having DMs, to this, Discord having a wrapped—it’s an insidious #maximalism.

    But hey, I’m glad @signalapp gets more users this way, at least!

  10. Good news: laws to tackle AI deepfakes are coming. Bad news: they are based on copyright

    A key theme of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) is that copyright, born in an analogue age of scarcity, works poorly in today’s digital world of abundance. One manifestation of that is how lawmakers struggle to adapt the existing copyright rules to deal with novel technological developments, like the new generation of AI technologies. The EU’s AI Act marks a major […]

  11. More is more, when you combine color & pattern in a lovely mix, to achieve a rich, homey look - that's a little messy in a good way. Balanced & well-coordinated.

  13. Life is inevitably chaotic, because our lives are chaotic. We all have some times that are easygoing, smooth sailing, and everything in order, but we also have difficult, bumpy, and chaotic times.

  15. From Jonathan Band: #Project2025 doesn't mention #copyright and doesn't "present bold new ideas relating to #IntellectualProperty; it simply reflects the “more is better” approach of the #IP industries… [It] would increase protection in a manner that would benefit large corporations at the expense of consumers. It does not recognize that many IP owners are foreign entities, nor that IP is a government granted #monopoly."

  16. You could say my wife and I are maximalists, enchanted by textiles and collectible art. Def not the black, white and gray modernist look of the day. Our walls are covered with beige (yes, actual beige) grasscloth. We LIKE earth tones adorned with color. Here’s our piano niche for a sample of our look. Busy, but beautiful. #InteriorDesign #Maximalism #JustSayNoToHGTV

  17. The life-changing magic of Japanese clutter” – Aeon°

    The world still turns to Japan for things; it also turns to Japan to rid itself of them. There’s only one problem: Japan isn’t anywhere near as tidy as outside observers give it credit for.

    […] While treatises abound on Japanese simplicity, minimalist design and culture, precious little is written about the nation’s masterfully messy side.

    A long read on how Japan isn’t the minimalist paradise Westerners often think it is.

    To be fair, as a Westerner, I do associate minimalist interiors with Japan. But I also associate incredibly maximalist spaces with it too. It’s either one or the other, in my mind.

    Why can maximalist spaces be worthwhile?:

    Cosily curated Japanese clutter-spaces are different [to modern minimalism. There is a meticulousness to the best of them that is on a par with the mental effort poured into simplifying something: a deliberate aesthetic decision to add, rather than subtract – sometimes mindfully, sometimes unconsciously, but always, always individually. Clutter offers an antidote to the stupefying standardisation of so much of modern life.

    The article mentions the photobook “Tokyo Style” by Kyoichi Tsuzuki that showed a Tokyo “startlingly unlike the rarefied minimalism that the world had come to expect from Japan. Tsuzuki’s photos were a joyous declaration to the contrary, celebrating the vitality of living spaces filled with wall-to-wall clutter.”

    Many of the photos in the book do show anti-minimalist spaces. But some don’t. Including the cover, which I’d say has many minimalist cliches like a bed on the floor, just a couple of plain t-shirts, and just one form of entertainment – music in this intance.

    The article mentioned ōhsōji, “an annual year-end tidying-up emerged as a popular ritual among the masses, a ‘big cleaning’ to ring in the New Year.”

    I like the sound of that and adopt it as a tradition. Post-Christmas is when a home is at its most messy and cluttered. Apparently ōhsōji is done between Christmas and New Years day.

    I think I’d prefer to do mine in January. I like that those days between Christmas and New Years where the house is strewn with wrapping, presents and half-eaten food. I wouldn’t want my ōhsōji to be too early. January 1st is the best time, for me.

    If you go to Studio Ghibli’s offices in the leafy western suburbs of Tokyo you’ll stumble upon the “immaculately designed and managed facility replica of the director Hayao Miyazaki’s workspace. It is a glorious mess. Heirloom-grade wooden shelves, overflowing with bric-a-brac and thick tomes, line the walls.”

    In searching around for the highest quality copies of the images above 👆 I stumbled upon this random which. I like it and it does give off a somewhat similar vibe to Miyazaki’s workspace.
