 If you want to add someone to a community, you have to take the time and spend
 the effort to stitch them in. You can't just throw them in the pot - they
 might not stay, and they might spend time on surface socializing that could be
 spent building deeper connections and unlocking new, precious moments that
 require trust and connection.

 An important aspect to friendship is "loose" time together - like, at a party,
 you might interact with a dozen people, or you might spend it all with one
 special someone - but the time is "loose" you can do with it what you will.

 at this point in time you probably shouldn't be forming NEW online communities
 unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough. And
 then you should try and MERGE communities into larger, more geographically
 concentrated ones.

 A scene is a collection of circumstances that the people involved contribute
 to. Like a scene in a movie, or play, where each of the actors contributes to
 the narrative. When you post on the internet, you're contributing to your
 little slice / flavor of the internet, but that's about it. You're building
 content for others to view.
 
 A community is a group of people who are part of each other's lives. They
 orient themselves around each other. They address problems and connect people
 together. They help each other with real, tangible tasks that need doing. They
 collaborate on large projects and do pot-lucks and such. They sit down and
 talk with each other for hours consistently, ideally at least once a week.
 
 Y'know, like a church, or a really tight-knit family.

 You should not, generally, spend time in places covered in bird poop or poison
 oak. You should also avoid abandoned wooden structures or old fallen logs,
 because spiders. Also, don't spend too much time on islands made of sand. They
 wash away as you step on them, as erosion takes its toll. Plus permanence is
 impossible in your structures. Not ideal in any sense - build on rock.

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
 archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
 be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
 clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
 etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
 your best stuff and make zines.
 
 should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of
 how I stay "productive" without posting all the time.

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 community is made by introducing people to one another. like stitching
 together a weave pattern in the tapestry of life. (3 dimensional though,
 because it exists in our hearts and minds - this thing called society)
 
 kind of guy who says he's going on work trips but actually goes on vacation
 (because work is his life, it's where he derives vigor - the family is the
 difficult part.) yeah those kind of guys shouldn't be married tbh. They're
 just gonna take vigor from her heart.
 
 engineers need guidance sometimes, which is why they shouldn't be given no
 oversight. they can design whatever they want, but like here's what people
 need, so they should consider working on those.
 
 but, y'know, checks and balances, so what would the engineers be most open to
 sacrificing for that trust? perhaps... funding? the quartermasters are in
 charge of the "stuff", so they get to decide how it's produced. and used.

 How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And,
 after finding that there's nowhere else for you to go, you turn around and
 "give up", until you're ready for your next expedition.

 I can 100% relate, to all of this.
 
 we are multifaceted. all people are.
 
 on social media, you follow someone for a particular facet, and if they don't
 like your other facets well then it wasn't meant to be.
 
 there's also no shame in pruning people who post things that upset you or that
 aren't interesting.

 Do you ever ask yourself why we don't have mountaintop bazaars or expeditions
 to the bottom of the oceans? Why we lack tree forest cities, how we're
 struggling to find moss, sunlight, crystal, stone, and gold, all in the same
 setting?
 
 Capitalism makes it easy to think of profit as all that matters. It's not. Its
 nothing of it. It's a metric like any other. Optimize it or not, struggle for
 what you believe in.

 if you're gonna kill yourself anyway, might as well throw yourself at a cause
 you believe in. Ideally the kind that requires repeated attendance and lots of
 opportunities to make friends or forge communal bonds with people who can help
 you.

 easy. If it were, someone else would have done it already.

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm
