  • [[Digitisation]] vs [[digitalisation]]
    • Digitisation is basically turning the act of encoding analogue into digital.
    • Digitalisation is the wider process of more and more of processes of society being digitised and filtered through digital processes.

  • I finished off Week 3 of the [[Digital Capitalism online course]].

    • This week the topic was [[Digital colonialism]].
    • With mostly a focus on [[Data colonialism]].
    • In that focus on data I feel perhaps it omits some other colonial practices - such as in mining, manufacture and disposal related to ICT.
    • Still - good stuff.
  • Started listening to the masterclass for week 4, on the digital trade agenda.

    • The point about why corporations love trade deals is really enlightening - easy way for them to bypass democratic discussion; lobby to get their way; once a trade deal is made, it’s very hard to change.
  • Learning about ecology on Kinnu, I realise that it’s a great source of ideas for thinking in systems.

  • I’d like to redesign the look and feel of my digital garden.
    • Nothing drastic, but to move more to a representative aesthetic.
    • I want to try to maintain the cheap-n-cheerful weird web vibe, but also incorporate more of a nature-labour-technology solarpunk-ish look.
    • I want my digital garden to be more visual, less textual.
      • To be fair it is majority text, but I still want it to feel a bit more visual.
    • [[My commonplace moodboard]]

  • [[Digital weeding and watering]]

    • Adding a page for keeping track of little bits of content cleanup that need doing on my digital garden.
    • This has been very useful already.
    • I’ve found:
      • pages that were using old file: links (e.g. Praxis)
      • duplicate nodes (e.g. Philsophize This).
      • pages that I’m interested in, but just had never had time to write anything about (e.g. climate action)
      • mistakenly created pages
    • And it has been fun to revisit various older pages in the process.
  • I am really looking forward to the release of [[Jathan Sadowski]]‘s new book.

  • [[Repairing a Dell Latitude E7450]]
