Collections are a wonderful thing. Especially this one.

I made a semble collection with absolutely all of the permacomputing links I know about: semble.so/profile/stau... Next time I have some time to kill I'll actually organize it all into subcollections about projects, documentation, artworks etc

semble.soOpen Permacomputing Collection (by Sona) — SemblePermacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. ପໄଓ☾☼✫ -☆:*´

The main difference between this time and now is you. When you want to get back to reading blogs, RSS feeds, and finish that tutorial instead of doomscrolling shorts, you have to get used to a slower internet. One where content is not infinite and doesn’t get updated every click.

When the body learns a tool, the tool disappears. The carpenter stops thinking about the hammer. The driver stops thinking about the steering wheel. The reader stops thinking about the way letters are formed on the page and imagines the world the writer weaved.

The Contractor Special: Here's a house that's cute on the outside and completely soulless on the inside. Lowest-cost, lowest-quality items from Home Depot, paired with the bright-as-balls overhead grid lighting, make the inside of the house feel more like a cadaver prep room in a mortuary.
