Speaking of IndieWeb Textpattern, I need to get back in the groove of writing up articles for it. I’ve got a backlog of 5 or so still to do.
“Weāve previously enabled our site to receive Webmentions, but what can we do about sending Webmentions to other sites? Much like we use Webmention.io to handle receiving Webmentions, weāre going to use Webmention.app to handle the sending. And the best bit is, we donāt need to make any modifications to our site!”
I’ve added a new article to #IndieWeb TextPattern which covers integrating with Remy’s new Webmention.app service to enable sending of Webmentions for sites which don’t have that capability natively.
> [I Took A Freezing-Cold Shower Every Morning For A Month & This Is What Happened – Refinery29 UK] (https://apple.news/A90rz9h9KSYCd330RYqpOsw)
Around 7-8 years ago I used to have a cold shower, nearly every morning for about 2 years, and I felt _great_ during that time – possibly the healthiest and most energetic I can remember being. I think it was something I picked up from a [Tim Ferris](http://www.timferriss.com/) book and decided to try. My shower method was slightly different than the one given in the article:
* start the shower as normal (hot), and step in
* while lathering up, stop the shower
* once lathered, switch the shower to cold, turn it back on, and rinse.
This method doesnāt work in my current home as the shower works very differently and doesnāt offer the same level of control. I guess I could suck it up and just start with cold?
In fact, thatās one to try tomorrow š„¶
“You may have seen this story in various forms over the weekend, starting with a big Wall Street Journal article (paywall likely) claiming that Genius caught Google “red handed” in copying lyrics from its site.”
There’s a separate issue here worth noting as well: all of this demonstrates just how idiotic the whole “licensing of lyrics” business is — considering that what everyone here is admitting is that even when they license lyrics, they’re making it up much of the time. Specifically, what people are noting is that they license lyrics from the publishers, but the publishers themselves rarely even have or know the lyrics they’re licensing, so lyrics sites try to figure them out themselves and “create” the lyrics file which may or may not be accurate.
But… if the publishers don’t even know they lyrics they’re licensing, then what the fuck are they licensing in the first place? The right to try to decipher the lyrics that they supposedly hold a copyright on? Really?

Last week I was asked to write an integration guide for a piece of software as a high priority. Wrote 8500 words of _thorough_ documentation in 3 days, and sent it off to the integrator. Then I came back from vacation to debug their install and found they didnāt read most of it š¤

I just switched my Micro.blog site back on, as I want to experiment with it again, and I’ve been impressed with the slow, steady, progress Manton has been making with the service. My previous attempts have all been focussed on being a “WordPress replacement” but this time I want to just start afresh and see what I find it useful for.
I think I’m going to have to learn Hugo templating though, as none of the default themes are really inspiring me.

I’ve just received the update to the Citadel Paint app (now called “Citadel Colour”) and y’know what? It’s *really good*. It looks better, there’s several quality-of-life improvements, the guides are much more detailed, and the new “My Projects” bit is super handy.
“Project seeks to combine ecological political and economic analysis with movement building”
āItās developing a political analysis of the climate crisis. An understanding that its an economic system that is in crisis and that you canāt have green growth, you canāt have a green capitalism. Ameliorative changes arenāt really going to cut itā
“Note: [Jason Hickel] expanded this post into a full article, published in Real World Economic Review in 2019.”
When orthodox economists first encounter the idea of degrowth, they often jump to the conclusion that the objective is to reduce GDP. And because they see GDP as equivalent to social wealth, this makes them very upset.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are many pieces to this argument, but I want to focus on one here in particular. One of the core claims of degrowth economics is that by restoring public services and expanding the commons, people will be able to access the goods that they need to live well without needing high levels of income.
“On Thursday we launched Scotlandās Degrowth Commission at the venerable Pearce Institute in Govan. With a delicious irony and timing that canāt be ignored, that very day saw New Zealandā¦”
Degrowth is a challenging idea that goes against the grain of everything weāve been led to believe; that we could and should produce more, buy more, consume more relentlessly, and that such activity creates wealth. Supporters of the growth model (previously everyone) have suggested somewhat miraculously that this idea is also compatible with āsustainabilityā.
In light of the IPCC climate realities this seems at best implausible.
In simple terms, growth is incompatible with our survival.
As Tim Jackson, Juliet Schor and Peter Victor write in Degrowth: A Vocabulary for a New Era: āThe foundational theses of degrowth are that growth is uneconomic and unjust, that it is ecologically unsustainable and that it will never be enough.ā
“Refreshingly inscrutable, Reeves seems like a considerate man who moves through the world mostly alone; heās aware of his celebrity status but doesnāt take advantage of it, and heās generous but careful with his presence.”
“The internet holds huge potential for liberation and political transformation. However many of societyās inequalities are encoded in its structures, processes and communities. Whether itās digital platforms allowing online abuse against women, lack of workforce diversity in the tech sector, biased data collection reinforcing privileges or sexist naming of subservient chatbots, there are many issues to address. Feminist Internet is here to intervene and ensure an equal and just internet for all.”
