  • organice is front end that runs entirely in a mobile or desktop browser that allows you to access and edit org files easily with a touchscreen or mouse and keyboard. It obviously doesn’t have full org mode functionality, but it does a have a calendar view.

    https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice

    All you have to do is navigate to https://organice.200ok.ch in your phone’s browser and then pin it to your start screen. The PWA is downloaded and you can now access a remote webdav server with the locally saved front end of organice. No data is sent to organice, the only function of the website is to give you an easy place to download the PWA to your device using a web browser.

    I love love love love org mode, it is just simple yet so powerful and there really is nothing else like it, I can’t really recommend anything else in good conscience here, especially since most other options (except for logseq https://logseq.com/ which I am not sure does everything you want?) are commercial and who knows what the hell will happen when the company goes out of business or is bought out by someone else?

    I recommend Spacemacs or Doom emacs as a nice starting point for emacs, or you can just start with basic emacs and build it yourself as org mode is included in the default distribution of emacs.

    An additional thing to think about, there is an android release of emacs coming up, so org mode might get much more accessible on the go in the future!

    No worries if you aren’t interested, I am just providing some additional context.

    This video is a great thorough but approachable explanation of why org mode is so special:

  • This is the most useful way to use chat bots but it is also catastrophic for business language in general because it means that instead of society having a reckoning with how artificial, stilted and meaningless business language is (and how alien it is for most people to write, especially because it by design conveys zero actual authenticity) now that aspect is just going to accelerate to the point where literally chatbots are a required tool to use as a translator to communicate with anybody in a formal way at work and I promise you that future is going to be even more of a corporate hellscape.

    So yeah, chatbots aren’t really a tool to help you write a cover letter, I mean they are, but much more importantly they are a tool designed to burrow between you and everybody else at your work/professional connections and force you to use it constantly just to be perceived as professional in communications. This is a hostile innovation meant to enclose an aspect of society and force us to pay rent to gain access.

    This isn’t a process to be excited about, rather it is a process of technology being used as a wedge to progressively alienate us from language itself in one it’s most critical roles in our lives. We are being sold a “solution” in the form of a permanent cementing of the problem.



  • Can’t wait for the day Discord backstabs everyone and people decide to get the fuck away from it.

    I can’t wait either, then maybe all the communities that disappeared into discord that I feel unable to actually feel like I am a genuine member of and connect with anymore because I am not part of the conversations on discord will go somewhere where I can be a part of them again.

    sigh

    FUCK DISCORD
