Listening to [[The Word for World is Forest]]
- From [[libro.fm]].
- Really enjoying it. The reader is great.
- [[Ursula K. Le Guin]] mercurial as always.
- Though, when I say enjoying itβ¦ it’s a bit grim. This Don Donaldson character is a nasty piece of work, pure American colonialist.

Reading [[Not the End of the World]]
- Hmm, just plainly stated that [[Degrowth]] is wrong.
- There was a mention of ‘effective’ optimism. Hope that’s not aligned with effective altruism.

Read and finished [[Four Thousand Weeks]]
- Thick time
- Max Weber and Calvinism
-
I liked it in general. I’m on board with the general gist of the anti productivity sentiments.

Planning to update spacemacs to latest.
- As noted recently, usually something breaks in this process.
- So I’ll look at ways to do this with minimal disruption.
-
I think trying to do it using multiple config directories seems a good approach.
- That’ll be useful for if I ever want to run spacemacs and Doom side-by-side, too, for example, or my own vanilla Emacs.
-
One issue to resolve first - you need Emacs 29 for the βinit-directory flag. I’m still on 28.1.
- OK, I’ll try and tackle that first.
- [[Updating to Emacs 29 on Linux Mint]]
