A lot of similarity to Caitlin Flanagan's article after the Oprah interview. Almost as if this was much the same, just shortened and the Oprah pieces fitted in. Still some excellent writing about the cultural changes of the people and their time.

This writing is 🔥!

I really like this and want to figure out way to do it on my own website. It could be fun to tuck it in with the weather and location data I'm already collecting.

Summary of moving from in person to online events a year ago.

I like her admonition to consider welcoming new people to a community in an online only space.

Try to avoid in-jokes. Make space for more phatic communication. Make considerations for parents, particularly around mealtimes and bedtimes.

OTR base.

I wonder something related, but even broader, "How do we get everyone to work in public?"

I've come across about 20 reference for Ivan Illitch over the past month. Not sure what is driving it. Some mentions are coming out of educator circles, others from programmers, some from what I might describe as "knowledge workers" (digital gardeners/Roam Cult/Obsidian crowds). One tangential one was from someone in the hyperlink.academy crowd.

Here's a recent one from today that popped up within a thread shared in IndieWeb chat:

Ivan Illich continues to be even more more relevant than he was at the height of his New Left popularity. Conviviality in the digital tools we use has continued to wither https://t.co/D88V6KL7Ez pic.twitter.com/OFDYTjXyCn

Deschooling Society and Tools for Conviviality look very interesting. Perhaps they've distilled enough that their ideas are having a resurgence?

A fun little site from fluffy with a great domain name.

This is great. I've been playing around with an early beta version.

A reasonable State of the Web.

This could be fun and useful. I wonder if it will allow focusing on certain sub-portions of the screen?

Amazon is making many books exclusive to their platform and not allowing libraries digital access.

Maybe worth looking at what they're doing and how those practices mirror those of academic journal publishing for creating monopolies.

This is a fascinating view into algorithmic feeds.

I love this idea. I have a fairly extensive personal commonplace book and collect and archive tons of material, but really should delve more deeply into the topic. I'd be particularly interested in the taxonomies portions you've outlined.

Some generally sound advice all around.

This could be used in all sorts of fun social media experiments.

I watched Ru work incredibly hard and diligently over many months to implement what she'd done. I wish I could do half of it, but I can definitely commiserate.

Can't wait to see what you come up with in the coming year with the extra time you'll have gained not only from the switch, but everything else you've learned in the process.

Some interesting, but small subtleties between Atom and RSS described here. So few people dig into these things at this level anymore.

Friction within software can be a very good thing.

Not that I have any hope of understanding it, but . . .
