Marisa Papen - poet, artist, activist & naturalist
the curves of your words can tell stories beyond you
they can also convey nothing at all
.
yet here I am
writing you
you live through me
and I live through you
.
my eyes use you to make sense of what I see
you have grown inseparable from the idea
.
language, what do you mean?
are you the truth of all things?
or just the title of a song?
.
as the mast of my memory
the translator of my heart
the narrative of my dreams
you have painted a world of words for me
you have given my tongue sounds of knowledge
but without you,
would I bow with gestures of universal knowing?
.
language, don’t just teach me how to speak
teach me how to understand the voice of the wind and the trees

Low safeguards agains eff-ups everywhere!!1


I was a fond Motorola phone user at one point. I still receive their offers via email. They remind me of a time long gone when "setting up an outgoing email server" worked by way of bash-scripting and no one cared, or knew about security, however implicit.
I myself may or may not have b0rked up a mass email campaign sent via our hacky tool on the first job. "Dear $fristname," ... lol. Long ago. Product quality focus at Moto may have changed too.

The relative attention to detail too warrants some cynicism: they too seem to have low safeguards agains eff-ups in the marketing domain. In emails they address me as %%=v(@firstname) at times and have funny, wacky autotranslations on the landing or product pages. Oh please.

FWIW, I would maybe still use my Moto X Style of 2015 had the battery not gone down to about two minutes of use in the end, after 3 years. Or my DIY replacement efforts would have worked out, which didn't happen, because the screws they used are both tiny and their head would wear out on attempt to unscrew. Sigh.
I still applaud the excellent cameras, hardly any oversharpening, and overall smooth evenly lit pictures. The Moto gestures. And perfect proportions, good grip and weight distribution. They just don't make them like that anymore. In contrast, sometimes the current Moto product policy makes me shake my head a little, they sure cram very many models into the mid-to-low-tier range.

#followerpower Fällt mir ja spät auf, aber manche Fahrradteile sind Verschleißteile. Also, sind dafür gemacht verschlissen zu werden. So auch meine die ich tauschen will, Kette, Kettenblätter, Kassette.

Der gute Mensch im Fahrradladen sagte also, kein Problem er könne mir einen Satz derselben Qualität wieder einbauen. Die Art wie er das sagte dämmerte mir dass ich mir dieselben Probleme nach einigen Jahren wieder einhandele damit. Professionelles understatement mag ich ja.

Also will ich jetzt was besseres (=haltbareres) kaufen, wo man die Kettenblätter verschraubt und ggf einzeln auswechseln kann, und eine Kette die nicht so ein Spiel entwickelt wie jetzt, jedenfalls nicht schon nach (grob überschlagen) 5000km.

SRAM, diese gut? Ich bin immer noch etwas verloren was Hersteller angeht, und die Vorteilskommunikation verwirrt mich.

New bike parts needed, help me decide


So I have this 7+ years old bike that serves me well for city type getting around. Nowadays the chain might jump when I accelerate, which is not good for busy junctions and generally city traffic.

The bike shop repair guy says "bike has shark" referring to the shape of various worn out bits. I'd be in for 150€ of repair costs in replacement parts and labour. All parts traction need replacing, front, chain and rear. See photos; never mind me not cleaning it. This is all the Shimano SiS and Acera stuff the bike came with. The derailleur gears can stay if you ask me.

What parts can I get in order to a) make the next set last longer than the factory default, and b) maybe save me a buck or two if I'm going DIY? Or should I get something different to max out the mentioned, proposed budget? I'm fine with spending that amount or similar if that gives me both peace of mind and 7+ years of hassle-free cycling.

But. Any bike parts website is giving me a headache. Too many options cause choice pollution. I have a hard time from separating marketing blurbs from statements about, say, durability.

I haven't done this type of work in two decades, however I think I can get it right given half a day or so. Any advice on what to get?

Koncerto de Orliński


Ĉi vespere mi spektis koncerton de Jakub Józef Orliński #LetsBaRock kun komponaĵoj ptezentantajn muzikon mezepokan en la nuntempaj muzikstiloj - ĵazo, roko, popo kaj eĉ hip-hopo.
Mi estas ravita - ĉio kunagordis, la voĉo de la kontratenoro kaj sonoj de liaj kunkorcentantoj fluis intermiksante, kvazaŭ kreante sian propran historion.

logseq


Mi decidis ekuzi #logseq en mia laboro. Nun mi notas la tutan labortagon en kajereto markante farendaĵojn kaj decidojn. Projektoj estas ĉiu en sia dosierujo kaj havas siajn notojn, tial mi kopias (tajpas) notojn pri la koncerna projekto de la kajereto en la komputilon.
Tiu labormaniero tre similas al tiu de #logseq, kiu baziĝas je taglibro (ĉiu tago estas aparta dosiero) kiun oni povas ligi kun dokumentoj ekz. pri projektoj.
Portempe, mi intencas daŭre noti ĉion en la kajereto kaj kopii (entajpi) ĉion en #logseq aldonante ligilojn kaj kradvortojn.

Telegram's Privacy Mirage: Why You Should Stop Using It Now


Privacy isn't just a buzzword; it's a fundamental right. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by apps that claim to protect you but do the opposite. Do your research, choose wisely, and take control of your digital life.
