Had to share the creation of Ea from the Earthsea cycle… very Tao…
“Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk’s flight
On the empty sky.
“The Creation of Éa,” Ursula K. Le Guin

on: Resurrect the Old Web
The old web was great but it broke society in a different way and formed the basis of social media's current problems. Writing about your situation and expecting other people to desire to know you so much that they go out of their way to learn about you is not a substitute for 1-1 or 1-group interaction that formed the basis of human culture for centuries. If you want to do something revolutionary to start restoring a healthy society, once a day, call (or DM or text) someone from your contacts list and say "I saw something today that made me think of you, so I wanted to see how you're doing. What's new in your life?"

This looks super cool and I'm hyped to try it. Reminds me of Decker
https://www.beyondloom.com/decker/index.html which I saw on hacker news ~18 months ago, similar ethos but this seems like it will be more applicable to daily use cases.

I've probably thought about this website daily or weekly since it originally came out. Glad to know it still exists.

The scent would be wafting directly into your nostrils if you were facedown, so... you got that going for you I guess?

on: Robot dentist performs first human procedure
That's exactly what I was thinking, you can lay face down on a massage bed for a pretty long time, so they should just be able to put the robot in your mouth through the face hole lol

Will robot dentists facilitate the option to lay face down for procedures so that the debris and saliva falls out instead of needing the suction tool?

Could you compare and contrast to BearBlog and Mataroa? Also does the paid plan include some specific capacity for image hosting?
