The core idea of Zettelkasten:

1. ONE (shared) dump-pile of all new notes. Your 2,600 pile should do fine

2. REGULAR 'cleaning' of the new notes: a) Each note gets one or many tags (#urban-decay #gaming #assets) b) Each note is trimmed down to its essence, ready to be used for reasonable purposes. (e.g further writing)

3. 'cleaned' notes are moved to your golden store, ready to be found by searching (search "#urban-decay")

You have 1. You need 2. It's slightly work-y, but interesting and ... fun. Rediscovering and polishing forgotten dust-rubies.

You are slooowwly waking up.

Well, metaphorically, yes.

Ha! The "general strike".

The general strike is a sad, obvious myth solely to delude us tax-cattle that we will have power, one day, for a day. Something something workers something bosses something something struggle. Bullshit for peasant workers.

"general strike" needs to be thrown in the same box as "communism" and "democracy" and "representation".

^ This ... and note, it is sarcasm.

Dude man, great respect for your work.

For women, mandatory wearing of either a bikini, or a tube-top & bikini-knickers, ONLY?

sounds about right.

My understanding is that the New York Times is a big Perl shop out there in thems back offices

When I was at school I wrote an essay on Beethoven's life. Beethoven's third symphony, the "Eroica" is important in that it is a marker of the start of the Romantic era (his first two symphonies are straight out 'Classical').

The maybe six times I mentioned it, the third symphony, I managed to each time accidentally title the work the "Erotica". Such is being a high-school student.

No important ramifications.

"Ukraine"

Wow. A innocent Apple developer's life is effectively destroyed by Apple's inability to get their gift-card numbers straight. A technical glitch and EVERYTHING is gone.

The victim:

I have literally written the book on Apple development (taking over the Learning Cocoa with Objective-C series, which Apple themselves used to write, for O’Reilly Media, and then 20+ books following that). I help run the longest-running Apple developer event not run by Apple themselves, /dev/world. I have effectively been an evangelist for this company’s technology for my entire professional life. We had an app on the App Store on Day 1 in every sense of the world.

The response:

Support staff refused to tell me why the account was banned or provide specific details on the decision

reps I’ve spoken to have suggested strange things, one of the strangest was telling me that I could physically go to Apple’s Australian HQ at Level 3, 20 Martin Place, Sydney, and plead my case.

Apple leaned on lobste.rs and

"Story was removed" because we don't want to give trolls a convenient public monument to content that was so bad or bizarre we removed it.

[Oh well] "time to self host i suppose"

Twenty years of a faithful Apple Devloper's life casually destroyed by Apple, and "time to self host I suppose".

Trust neither Apple (ever, of course) nor the public.

Some degree of effort is required to _not_ use et (Ephemeris Time) and, by practice, a spacecraft clock adjustment (SCLK) would be initially loaded.

The developers would have gone through this routine (initially load SCLK, use Ephemeris Time) literally _thousands_ of times in their coding, developing ... preparing, making .... careers. It's the SPICE baby.

so .... WTF?

'Grand Theft Auto VI' set to break records despite gaming slowdown

Bullshit. A paid publicity article to fool ... someone.

The disgusting woke destruction of Rockstar games has _ensured_ an almost uniform pre-launch disgust. And let's be clear: the game will be AWFUL. Pathetic. Retarded. It has been made by a new company (effectively) of woke simpleton retards.
