                <description><![CDATA[I&#039;m trying to get an agent + GitLab (self-hosted) runners to fully configure my new Fairphone 6+. It successfully installed /e/OS (I just had to click a few buttons). The agent connects to the phone via ADB over WiFi for troubleshooting (I had to help with the pairing). The GitLab runners apply/deploy changes with Ansible. Then once it was installed, I&#039;ve tasked it with installing/configuring apps/changing the theme, tweaking settings, etc. I message my agent on my desktop and ask it to change/t...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Sometimes I encounter something I need to do and I think I&#039;m gonna need my big internet for this, e.g. filing taxes, backing up documents, digging up some old file, etc. But these situations are becoming less frequent. I can do most things, if not everything, on my medium internet. I think the size of your daily internet plays an important role in how we integrate it into our behavior. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a stretch to claim that phones hit that sweet spot of accessibility that caused everyone to ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I started leaving my phone at home, and I think you can too! I recently made some changes to how I interact with technology recently, and so far it&#039;s been a positive experience. In this post, I will make the case for I would like to preface all of this with saying: Given your life circumstances, parts of this may not be feasible. I will speak from my experiences, and I hope you find parts of this that fit into your own life.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Watch on YouTube We can only assume that in the above product demonstration, the Cinco MIDI Organizer is being stretched to its computational limits, as Cinco has a large tech branch where they showcase new technologies. There are ~180 digits in the Cinco MIDI Organizer&#039;s (CMO) UMRN (Unique Midi Routing Number). This means it can index as many as 10^180 MIDI files. That means if you filled up the CMO with that many MIDI files of 1 second each, the duration of your CMO library would be 10^162 tim...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Inspired by: On digital relationships, by Manu Around 2010 I met someone named Yineli on Last.fm through commenting on each others&#039; profiles. We had similar music tastes, and she introduced me to Blue Foundation and Portishead. Eventually we moved off talking on Last.fm, and decided to share MP3s in a shared DropBox folder. Once every month or so for about a year we would add some MP3s in a folder, along with a text file with a message to the other about the music we were sharing.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[People used to use the internet to explore. I used to go on StumbleUpon for hours when I was little, or hop around different pages on Wikipedia. I think the desire to surf the web explains Depths of Wikipedia. When I was maybe six years old, we had a computer room that was a small nook that had a small window overlooking our back yard. It could have been an attic if it was unfinished but it was this cute little place with a desk that wrapped around two of the walls and bookshelf built into the w...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I had a really strange experience when I got on the train a while back. Everyone was on their phone. I don&#039;t mean most people were on their phones, I mean everyone was on their phone. I feel like writing about this at all is beating a dead horse because intuitively everyone seems to know that we&#039;re not using phones in a healthy way. But damn, this seems like it&#039;s getting really bad, right? I think how we got here is well-understood from an economic perspective. But what can we do about it?]]></description>

For a while it didn&#039;t have internet access, but I loved poking around in the settings.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been deeply interested in the idea of digital identity lately. I&#039;ve been experimenting with what this looks like for myself, and I&#039;d like to capture some ideas I have about what this means more broadly. Consider two axes: digital vs material, and identity vs society. My claims are that (1) our current condition blurs each of these lines and (2) their connection is both important and unexplored. Namely: Given that our digital identities are real and important, we should ask: What are they? T...]]></description>
