katerina, tuesday
CASUAL (mood) {writer.axdx}
i opened the explore page and filtered by text ... hand on my heart i scrolled past at least 500 blocks before i could find a single block that wasn't a copy pasted quote or untitled with a link to the source. and even then it was just someone's year-end list for a channel of year-end lists. not knocking it, props to that guy. every channel of writing i've followed has died within a month.
it really pains me how amazing this place could be for original written content, but it seems most here are just using it like tumblr, adding the same blocks over and over and over again for years. it's a public information resource, yes, and i love it for that, but it's also the most intuitive writing and publishing tool on the internet. and i'm here, urging you to use it. use it for literally anything but that paragraph you read in your substack newsletter five minutes ago.

I want to build technology that grants people the ability to talk to all aspects of the planet, all objects, all people, all environments, all heavenly bodies. Past, present, future.
I will be satisfied when I can talk to the planet, ask it how its day is going, and directly request the week’s weather from the planet itself, not google or apple’s weather apps.

index.txt version 1.7
You found my Website!
But this is not a regular site...
What you are looking at is a .txt file.
The beautiful thing about these sort of text
files is that you can not style them. The only
styling you can do is the same you could do with
a typewriter. But of course all the usual .html
browser things do not work. So no links.
Did you know that they can be virtually nothing?
Check /empty.txt if you want to see a 0kb file in
your browser.

The designer and the engineer must be able to work by drawing with a stick in sand. Everything beyond this is a conflation of their work with the embellishment, commercialization and industrialization of their work.
[…] People are learning the tool, not the craft. I see people all over talking about how they can't just switch because they know Unity […]. "Game design" is a skill. Unity is not a skill, it's a tool. The ability to carry a skill to another tool is something that modern software companies are actively trying to stop you doing. Do not let them.
– Harley, aka. Qxoko https://qxoko.io
Overemphasizing tools is common in design and engineering. Tools, their customization and implementation are discussed more frequently and readily than the psychological and social patterns that enable design teams to create works of quality.
Conflating tools with skills may be a result of approaching a discipline with a focus on results and applicability – focusing on learning how to get the job done rather than understanding its context and greater implications.
The designer and the engineer must strive to be independent of any tool. Their work is intellectual and social. They must be able to express their solutions using any tool available to them.

That’s why we can’t have personalized algorithms or AI tagging. If you take away the human element of manually giving context to information, then you’re taking away the moment when a person decides that something is important—which is the whole point of Are.na.

It's a really clever solution, but should you really have to be that clever to do something so basic?

“Computers are built to be turned on, cables are meant to be patched in, and links are made to be clicked. Without the human touch, current may run, but the signal stops. We animate the thing. We give it meaning, and in that meaning lies its worth. ”
Excerpt From: Claire L. Evans. “Broad Band.” iBooks.
