• I intend to write [[Caramel City]] today.
• I intend to assemble one piece of Ikea furniture.
• I intend to properly fix the bathroom light fixture.
• Save recovery code for [[matrix]].
• Set up [[matrix]] communities.
• Try out [[pentadactyl]] for [[firefox]]. Actually tried "saka key". Decent, but still interferes with some sites more than I’d like and doesn’t have a "default off mode" which I’d like.
• Interacted with [[exgenesis]], [[Juan Jose Fernandez]]

Tech Won’t Save Us podcast

I stumbled on the [[Tech Won’t Save Us]] podcast the other day, and after listening to a few episodes (interviews with Dan Hind, [[Lizzie O’Shea]], and Grace Blakely) I recommend it really highly, if you’re interested in tech from a (left-wing) political perspective.
