Smått utrolig at norske nettaviser/medier ikke tilbyr en eneste plain text og JavaScript-fri versjon av nyhetene. Tenkte i det minste NRKs side ville funke i EWW i Emacs, men det er helt håpløst. Jadda, “jeg kan jo bare få nyhetene som RSS”, men lite.cnn.com og text.npr.org finnes og funker kjempefint. I et beredskapsperspektiv burde i det minste NRK tilby dette, kan da ikke koste all…
Thought it was time for an Emacs-upgrade so I built Emacs 32 from source only to be greeted with errors&mismatching versions of dependencies for other packages I use. Tried to make it work,gave up and built Emacs 31.09 only to face most of the same problems. So I’m back at 30.2 now #emacs

Deep diving into Walter Benjamin’s “Arcades Project”/“Passagen-werk” again after many years and it’s almost like reading an entirely different book. It has always felt almost like a work of art, but after serious encounters with Fernand Braudel, Deleuze/Guattari and further studies in anarchism, marxism and history in general the connections I now make in my…

Lillehammer by night
I’m writing with a slight optimism right now, cause I have a feeling that the AI-madness and all the current dystopia is leading to a resurgence and increased interest in the poorly cared for humanities again! Wild I know, but this is what 20+ years of app-mania, increasingly sucky tech and the destruction of communities does to you, right? What is a human again? Idk, at times I like being…
Gardening, dirty boots and obligatory #crocus
Back at the cabin. I need a break from the city and the madness of the world and I’m lucky I have this place.
Kerouac and Cassady
In memory of Jürgen Habermas. One cannot say his ideals of liberal democracy has been leading the way lately, but I am certain we will see a comeback of his theory of communicative action. It’s form & language is dry as hell, but there is a utopian kernel in there: that in principle all language contains the possibility of understanding & reciprocality, and that implicitly, going into any…
The adults talked politics in between some serious SimCity-action with the kids tonight.
Cucumber: The existence of English “Gurkin”, Norwegian “Agurk” and Swedish “Gurka” necessarily implies the existence of primordial, chaotic and nebulous “GURK”
Here comes a story that is strange, almost dreamlike.I’m taking a walk in the cabin area, when suddenly I think ‘what if I see an owl today?’ and start looking up into the trees. 50 m and 3 trees later, a fairly large owl is sitting there looking down at me — I got to come close and have a chat #owl

But seriously, conservatives are funny, ‘There is no such thing as society’ right up until some war needs to be fought, a royal family, national day, symbol or power hierarchy needs to be celebrated — then you’re suddenly in a damn tight and suffocating community without having chosen it yourself #politics
Now I might be arguing against a strawman here or a somewhat pop presentation of existentialist thought, but here goes. During a discussion with some friends we talked about existentialism and especially Camus' and Sartre’s ideas of life’s inherent meaninglessness. I know that most existentialists claim that because life is meaningless, our goal is to create meaning. But I feel that…
Teachers and educators: What are you best/favorite arguments against grades and grading students? And what are your best arguments for?
I can’t really understand why someone would prefer reading pdf’s in Emacs compared to epub. As plain text epubs are an absolute joy to read and work with in org mode (nov.el). And lately I’ve tried org-remark that lets me annotate the epub as well and integrates with nov. Just awesome stuff. #emacs

Trying Qobuz for my family. Been mainly listening to my mp3-collection + Bandcamp at home for the last year or so, but the rest of my family needs a new streaming service. Any of u have experience with Qobuz? Pros/cons? Seems focused on audio quality, but what about their business model? #qobuz
Our awesome neighbor F #caturday
These variants of Christian anarchism is slowly seeping into my life. I have been reading and listening for a while now, there are things in here that resonate deeply.
