<p>The core idea of Zettelkasten:<p>1. ONE (shared) dump-pile of all new notes. Your 2,600 pile should do fine<p>2. REGULAR 'cleaning' of the new notes: a) Each note gets one or many tags (#urban-decay #gaming #assets) b) Each note is trimmed down to its essence, ready to be used for reasonable purposes. (e.g further writing)<p>3. 'cleaned' notes are moved to your golden store, ready to be found by searching (search "#urban-decay")<p>You have 1. You need 2. It's slightly work-y, but interesting and ... fun. Rediscovering and polishing forgotten dust-rubies.</p>

<p>Ha! The "general strike".<p>The general strike is a sad, obvious myth solely to delude us tax-cattle that we will have power, one day, for a day.  Something something workers something bosses something something struggle. Bullshit for peasant workers.<p>"general strike" needs to be thrown in the same box as "communism" and "democracy" and "representation".</p>

<p>When I was at school I wrote an essay on Beethoven's life. Beethoven's third symphony, the "Eroica" is important in that it is a marker of the start of the Romantic era (his first two symphonies are straight out 'Classical').<p>The maybe six times I mentioned it, the third symphony, I managed to each time accidentally title the work the "Erotica". Such is being a high-school student.<p>No important ramifications.</p>

<p>Wow. A innocent Apple developer's life is effectively destroyed by Apple's inability to get their gift-card numbers straight. A technical glitch and EVERYTHING is gone.<p>The victim:<p>>  I have literally written the book on Apple development (taking over the Learning Cocoa with Objective-C series, which Apple themselves used to write, for O’Reilly Media, and then 20+ books following that). I help run the longest-running Apple developer event not run by Apple themselves, /dev/world. I have effectively been an evangelist for this company’s technology for my entire professional life. We had an app on the App Store on Day 1 in every sense of the world.<p>The response:<p>>  Support staff refused to tell me why the account was banned or provide specific details on the decision<p>>  reps I’ve spoken to have suggested strange things, one of the strangest was telling me that I could physically go to Apple’s Australian HQ at Level 3, 20 Martin Place, Sydney, and plead my case.<p>Apple leaned on lobste.rs and<p>> "Story was removed" because we don't want to give trolls a convenient public monument to content that was so bad or bizarre we removed it.<p>> [Oh well] "time to self host i suppose"<p>Twenty years of a faithful Apple Devloper's life casually destroyed by Apple, and "time to self host I suppose".<p>Trust neither Apple (ever, of course) nor the public.</p>

<p>Some degree of effort is required to _not_ use et (Ephemeris Time) and, by practice, a spacecraft clock adjustment (SCLK) would be initially loaded.<p>The developers would have gone through this routine (initially load SCLK, use Ephemeris Time) literally _thousands_ of times in their coding, developing ... preparing, making .... careers. It's the SPICE baby.<p>so .... WTF?</p>

<p>>  'Grand Theft Auto VI' set to break records despite gaming slowdown<p>Bullshit. A paid publicity article to fool ... someone.<p>The disgusting woke destruction of Rockstar games has _ensured_ an almost uniform pre-launch disgust. And let's be clear: the game will be AWFUL. Pathetic. Retarded. It has been made by a new company (effectively) of woke simpleton retards.</p>
