Scribbled Line

This is my scribbled line, its a collection of things I find interesting or want to remember. Here you can find a good summary of my world views in the writings I find important and things I just think are neat.

Pages

• Clear Line, A more strictly outlined set of views I hold, along with evidence I use to justify them to myself.
• Quotes, A list of quotes I like.

Important things

Writing that permanently altered me

• Kae tempest - A book of traps and lessons this poetry is genuinely probably the biggest driver behind a lot of my world views. Whole thing should be experienced in one session, somewhere outdoors alone and dark, whether that's sat outside a pub at night with a drink or in a forest.
• silly, goofy article about football in the future

Healthy conversation, thought and debate

• Cory Dransfeldt - Just Enough News
• xxiivv - how to have healthy discorse

The value of other cultures (especially non-scientific, stereotypically "primitive" cultures)

• Study notes on "Against his-story, Against Leviathan!" (I haven't read these notes, only the actual book but I imagine it gets the point across). This is possibly the strongest narrative for properly emotionally integrating this point into your world-view, though the book itself is incredibly biased and a bit unhinged. Would recommend chapter 23 specifically.
• Twitter thread on african architecture

Anti-Growth, Small-Web, Small-Tech

• Factorio hate-post
• The reckless, infinite scope of web browsers
• Fucking webmaster

The value of community

• Transcender manifesto
• The sky is falling, we've got this

The merits of open source

• Predator drones run linux
• The sustainability of the commons
• How to kill an decentralised network, a post about how companies purposefully kill off foss software

Less important side notes

Interesting old internet things

• Red-bean
• Chiark/Greenend
• Old usenet posts I host

Neat Permacomputing/culture things

• Tiny polish farm working on self-automation
• Edge Collective
• Social media for old photos
• Group that writes low power software (suckless.org)
• Solar powered website/blog about eco-tech

Neat programming things

• Tetris programming
• Internet archiologist
• Bikeshedding

Stories where programs defy reality

• Email wont go further than 500 miles
• Wifi only works when its raining
• Magic switch

Other

Deescalate all conflict that isn’t with the enemy.

Note to add this to the kindness essay when you have time this same line of thinking applies to violence as well… do not ever engage in violence first. however, if you are attacked, fight back. protect yourself and those you care about from physical and mental harm always.
