i wonder how many micro usb cables there are in the world. it must be a very large number.
-
like... 3 billion?
-
@john_brindle i reckon 3 billion? if we assume 1.5 cables per android phone, and there's 2 billion android phones...
-
@john_brindle did i get the job?
-
@aparrish ohhhhh... tilde keys, though (i used to have a phone with a hardware tilde key)
-
@john_brindle right! and it's not just phones, although i reckon that makes up the majority of them? but 3 billion is just a terrifying number.
-
@jasonjcrouch i mean, i have a lot, too. but i'm pretty sure i'm not representative.
-
@jasonjcrouch yeah, for sure
-
after some discussion, i am revising my estimate upwards... 6 billion? there aren't more micro usb cables on earth than people, right?

Kasabian, Eminem and Muse headlined this year's Reading festival. @dreamfeelx/904676618202906625
-
This isn't meant as a slam on @dreamfeelx, I just think there's a larger systemic thing stopping stuff getting as big as it used to.
-
@dreamfeelx "The Internet means everyone is famous for 15 people", or something.
-
@dreamfeelx but reading is the festival where everyone is like... 17. it's not a nostalgia crowd, it's a lairy teenager crowd.
-
@dreamfeelx (soz - wanted to make that larger point, but delayed by tweeting while walking)

@thestooshie Oval/Stockwell, Stratford, or somewhere on the Overground connecting at Canada Water (so, like, New Cross).
-
@thestooshie tbh, you can live pretty much anywhere within Zone 3 and get to work within 45 mins. so it's more about a nice area than getting in.
-
@thestooshie New Cross : art school students, the cold hand of gentrification creeping in. i'm just moving away now and i'm sad to leave.

@thestooshie Oval/Stockwell : I don't know it that well, but I have friends there and they say it's surprisingly close in & good to live at.

@lorenschmidt I am generally with you on all this, buuut. One thing I always love is a conception of the work as something that extends beyond the work.
-
@lorenschmidt It's the conversation around the work, what the work facilitates, not just the work. So being deliberate around that conversation is good.
-
@lorenschmidt The other thing is... this puzzlebox conception of shows. Like they're just a thing to be solved. I like that too, but it's limiting.
-
@lorenschmidt One of the main things Lynch seems to be pushing against is this idea that things ultimately have to make sense, wrap up neatly.
-
@lorenschmidt And this feels like another push in that direction. Do people wanna know how it could've been done? Or for Lynch to answer a mystery?
-
@lorenschmidt tl;dr the "share source" function on CBDQ was a good thing to add, and I always turn it on, but it's deliberately optional

-
@n0ght a civil war is not the worst outcome here (but not letting it come to that would be very desirable - thus the punching nazis)
-
@n0ght again, the more important thing is keeping fascists from power, not keeping the peace
-
@n0ght Punching nazis can help to: put people off openly being nazis stop nazis organising (or make it difficult) defend people they're threatening
-
@n0ght don't just punch nazis just 'cuz (though I won't weep for them). but people have thought about this before taking these actions.
-
@n0ght no? public attitudes changed a little after Heather Hayer's death, but there's not a widespread rejection
-
@n0ght (see: the group trying to run antifa down and pepper spraying them a few weeks later not even getting arrested)
-
@n0ght (see: more ink being spilled about the perils of antifa than far right organisations - which again, killed someone)
-
@n0ght no, political movements grow in power when they are able to publicly organise and become mainstream, pretty sure this is true
-
@n0ght But... the far right cause more politically motivated deaths in the US than any other group.
-
@n0ght Antifa are happy to just... play videogames and live their lives if Nazis aren't causing trouble. These are not comparable.
-
@n0ght Huh? ISIS captured territory and ruled openly within it.
-
@n0ght Under what circumstances is violence justified?
-
@n0ght Again: a far right group attempted to run down people, was stopped by police, and then released without charge.
-
@n0ght (they then ran into a police car) What can you do when the police fail you? Just resign yourself to injustice? Wait 4 years and vote?
-
@n0ght What would you do when faced with a situation like the Battle of Cable Street, where the police were openly on the side of the fascists?
-
@n0ght Well, at least we're agreed on that.

@n0ght I think it's worth looking up - there is a long history to this discussion.

you can combine this insight with whole-experience design thinking @daiyitastic/911575571523670016

like: give people success early, let them have built a working thing early on. errors or weirdness after that doesn't matter as much:
-
because they have experiences that mean they can self-identify as <Rust programmers/botmakers/people who have succeeded with this tool>
-
i am also thinking of workshops: the most important thing to say is often "oh yeah, <x> is just like that, it's bad and weird, it's not you"

(you generally have to know the tool well enough to say this with the right level of confidence. and then show the workaround)
