📖 Family cookbooks aren’t just collections of recipes; they’re scrapbooks of daily living.
Those handwritten notes, magazine clippings, and adjustments to favorite dishes...none of that survives when food culture is reduced to content on someone else’s platform.
On the #FutureKnowledge #podcast special series #VanishingCulture, Katie Livingston examines the importance of everyday artifacts.

In deference to US Independence Day, I was thinking about books with a counterfactual historical take – speculative history. I wrote about it.

I’ve shared a piece of fiction writing meta content and the rôle of LLMs in my writing workflow, in particular, a punch list to track idea instantiation. I don’t, however, discuss my fondness for diacritical marks, especially those with no phonetic function.

"Come in questo caso, l'illecita raccolta di fotogrammi dai video di sicurezza, l'illecito c'è a prescindere.
Detto questo, facciamo un altro passo: non è che siccome c'è la videosorveglianza il primo pirla che passa se la guarda e raccoglie le figurine. Esiste un elenco di persone, ed è molto ristretto, che hanno la possibilità, in casi molto particolari, di accedere ai video di sorveglianza.
E nei posti governati da gente con un cervello, la procedura richiede sempre almeno due persone: tipicamente, un tecnico e un manager, per riesaminare i video. Quindi OK i tramvieri laidi, ma chi gli ha dato accesso ai video ha fatto ancora di peggio, perché gli incaricati della gestione dei video di sicurezza hanno gli stessi obblighi di riservatezza e confidenzialità degli amministratori di sistema, e infatti sono spesso le stesse persone.
Io direi che, oltre ai laidi, deve saltare pure la testa di qualcuno nell'area tecnica e qualche manager.
Certo, in Italia perfino gli amministratori di sistema delle banche si mettono a ficcare il naso nei conti correnti della gente, figuriamoci in un'azienda di trasporti pubblici.
Ma non è un problema. Le leggi esistono, si prende questa gente, si predono i loro superiori che hanno l'obbligo di sorveglianza, si prende la gente che ha fatto gli audit e garantito la compliance, si prendono quelli che hanno approvato un sistema di videosorveglianza dove gli accessi ai video non vengono loggati, o se vengono loggati non vengono auditati e li si accompagna tutti, gentilmente, alla porta.
A CALCI IN CULO.
Perché mi sono anche rotto il cazzo di questa privacy di carta dove per fare una foto della festa di Natale ufficio ci sono moduli in triplo originale, e poi il primo coglione con la password di amministratore fa il cazzo che gli pare."

Ontological grammar is subjacent to active cognition and verbal faculties.
Many people label those who disagree with their positions as stupid or acting in bad faith, but the notion of ontological grammar liberates me from discussions of subjecthood, agency, and intent.
