@garbados awesome! if you get into this lmk and I can put you in touch someone who visited them & is currently in the Philippines installing community cellular networks~

@garbados google translate is pretty good at technical german! and there's some academic papers in english I think...part of freifunk, though, is their particular culture; I've heard it's as much/more a cultural organization as a technical one, and that can make it hard to understand from the outside.

@garbados This sounds a bit like Freifunk in Berlin? https://berlin.freifunk.net/

"Just that, I suppose: the usual combination of poise and its antipode."

"I thought if I wrote about the horror at a distance, or described it askance, then it would stay in its place, but I'd be saying enough about it to tell myself that I was not running away. I would be in control. Which was certainly my thing, control."

"'The melancholics concern themselves with the structure of doubt, rather than the structure of belief, because doubt is inventive. Doubt complicates. Even repudiation is a doubling. In this sense, doubt is erotic, as is melancholic space.'"

"...an extreme example of a tendency [...] towards curiosity: that is, towards a rapt discovery of the world [...] but a way of treating that discovery too: as a collection."

This is one curious effect of the [...] experiment in attention: it invariably departs from the objects at hand to enter realms of speculation and even fantasy, because that is the liberty that such attention allows. We are back in the purview andpower of the list, but not only that: also, a commitment to the deadpan unfolding of ordinary time and things – could you make an essay simply out of the things to hand at the moment you started to come back to life – the phtographs, the half-remembered images, the books and fragments that are not books?

"'Many of us, maybe all of us, look at some images repeatedly, but it seems we do not write that repetition, or think it, once written, worth reading by others. Maybe we deeply want to believe that images happen, essentially or sufficiently, all at once.... Maybe the actual business of repeated gawping strikes us as embarrassing, at least when set out in sentences. (Too passive? Too privileged? Too rudimentary? Too 'male'?) Maybe we fear that the work we depend on images to do for us – the work of immobilizing, and therefore making tolerable – will be undone if we throw the image back into the flow of time.'"

"As may be obvious, there was a bit of bravado mixed with my efforts to understand my depression. I was proud in a way of my diagnosis – I imagined, despite all evidence to the contrary, that it conferred or confirmed some depth or profundity that I had always felt lacked. An absurd idea of course, but one that led to the suspicion, for the first time, that I might be able to write, properly write, that I could say 'I' and this would not be an entirely shameful or exposing starting point."

@RemindMe in 30 days notice that this is still working from the same database

@kelly that was actually my assumption! it read just like the Drake of the Tim Tebow Chronicles

@setavulos Wow that's so good. 10-commandments-confusion spell: roll a commandment every 1d4 rounds and obey it to the exclusion of all else.

@HTHR @lycaon hmm! I never thought about that...I got sucked into the cultist plot hard and completely forgot the circus existed...

@HTHR @lycaon my KoL senses told me I needed a disguise, but I got distracted

@marko that's the new processor by AMD right

" is it gay to unionize? It's literally organizing workers into a union. 😳🤔 "
