People often look to tech for solutions, or to leadership for sweeping changes, but change also comes from us—individuals in difficult situations, working locally, dealing with real friction that a silver bullet can't solve. I wrote about that this week.

I just got done watching a truly horrible movie at Sundance ("The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"). It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark.

Watching what was cleared for snow in my complex… there’s just too much room given to autos

…and there seems to be some better, self regulated traffic control with the tighter spaces for movement of autos

This is probably what I’d want to change 2nd most with zoning reform

One of the things which is happening with me and biking is how my home will need to have me be more of a teacher than just a cyclist.

Not just routes, but personalizing and legal bits as well.

It’s the kind of orientation which makes the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social as a primary kinda smart

Kind of post that invites getting back into the homework of running one’s own PDS… appreciate this clarity in just this aspect of things. It’s hard to make such a technical & governance grounded thing this simply stated.
Bluesky runs an appview.
Blacksky runs an appview.

A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever.

To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline.

One has new posts from Łink.
One doesn’t.

Had someone roll their @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social l into the shop today. While it was only a tire/tube fix, it was on me this round to knock it out… easy enough, but also made me wonder if there’s at least a bit more I could learn towards how service centers work

First time in a long while leaving AirPods… didn’t even have Vue glasses as that was a last moment “nah, don’t need em” before leaving out

…cafe was loud. Too loud to remain very long despite the beautiful natural light. Too much mental energy to ignore outside noises.

Quiet is also accessibility

Working on the draft of year-end board report and am slightly wondering when parts of this report will be shaped more by an ML agent...

...having refined the template for this over the last three years, its more or less now hella simple to compile & edit. What isn't hard? Parsing my notes 🙃
