  • OK, I will check those out cuz you said you like "Adaptation."

    I have been watching documentaries about dirt lately. It's fascinating! I started looking for a farm -- there's a LOT for us to do, it turns out!

  • Thank you for leaving this comment.

    I think if I have an "original sin" it's that I was simply naive ....my whole life! I didn't think we'd all join hands around the world, but I think I believed in a few things that seem foolish. For instance, I thought people wanted to like improve their own lives, which seems downstream of knowledge, but I sincerely had no idea deception and propaganda would be so big.

  • It's interesting cuz about half the comments were like ppl making fun of me or whatever, and about half made relevant comments. Moreover, I got a lot of down votes, and I thought the post was quite anodyne.

    One comment illustrated to me that I have been perhaps using a flawed mental model for what the www is for around 30 years.

  • Thank you for responding.

    I had never thought of this before, but it's like that Borges story (and Charlie Kaufman movie) where a guy realizes the only literal map of the empire has to be the size of the empire.

    That's interesting, as it suggests the www is an abstraction of itself. All along, I have envisioned it with a model that simply isn't accurate, and I just never noticed.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond nevertheless. BTW, the tautology you called out was an accident I alllllmost went back to fix.

    Dang I just noticed I got a lot of down votes on this post! Tough crowd!

    My point (if it can be found) stands -- the www is a publishing platform, but in its early days, the notion was that it was an archive, whereas the prevailing usage is much more fleeting. Of course, as you mentioned, there is no singular usage pattern, as everyone has an individual mental model for it.

  • Thank you for your thoughtful response.

    Now I will ask an annoying question: what is your favorite movie? And because I'm not a monster, I'll tell you mine and provide some context. I think if I were asked generically like that, I'd say "Vanilla Sky" or "Adaptation." I think "my favorite" is extremely variable, but I return to those two a lot and have for years.

  • I believe that 100℅. I bet you're knowledgeable about this tho: I am using an app called Voyager. It appears to show me posts from different servers(?). What is a useful mental model for conceptualizing this?

    Also, as a site admin(?), what is a tool that would be useful for you? Similarly, what is a tool that you think would bring more users to the site?

    Thank you in advance. I really like the concept of the Fediverse, but I get the sense its usability is fairly rudimentary.

  • I know The Dispossessed!

    I'm generally supportive of the idea of feeding people. I'm further supportive of like people helping people. I think the part that makes me apprehensive is that the system you describe fundamentally operates on assumptions that sidestep the matter of beneficiaries knowing the source of the benefits, which seems very dubious. The idea seems to be quite kind and selfless, but I still think this is a scenario where folks will fail to appreciate the kindness involved because they're simply unaware of the effort made by numerous folks involved

  • You make several compelling points.

    My cynicism is based on my general view that anonymous strangers are often unhelpful, but to be more accurate, I would have to acknowledge my feedback would vary a lot based on region. For instance, I mostly grew up in TX (nearish I-35). However, I lived in Western Washington for years, and I can easily see a community pantry being appreciated there.

    So if I were to revise my comment now, I'd seek to emphasize that some regional populations have been propagandized and are destructive. And like some people don't mind contributing like that, but I see it like trying to fill a jug with a hole in the bottom.
