  • I am not the one with an issue with the acronym. I am just a nobody trying to be polite to the person who made the comment, especially since I am really not in a position to fix their problem. It feels really weird to have something as call-out-y as “excuses but no solutions” said to me as if I’m personally responsible for the concept of Personal Knowledge Management. I like it and I post stuff about it on the Fediverse. I’m not some big authority about it.

    And finally, my biggest reason not to is that I don’t personally believe the acronym needs to change, so I’m not going to begin to make an effort to get it done. I don’t have any investment in accomplishing that change. The commenter who pointed it out is welcome to take steps towards making it happen. I said what I said because I thought that would be a better and friendlier reply than a politer version of “lol idc about this”, while still being my honest thoughts on the matter.







  • even sometimes picks up the old sticks as a way to meditate in between dives.

    I have never tried to knit with an entirely wet body before (I am assuming the quoted part means he dives off the board, and picks up his knitting until it is time to dive again in a few minutes). Maybe I’ll try right after showering and see what happens.

    Curious when he started that sweater, because if he started when the Olympics started this year he is really fast.



  • Younger person in my 20s. Most of my friends use Spotify. I grew up buying music on iTunes and will continue to do that. I also have little interest in discovering new music and a preference for straight-up owning instead of streaming something I do not own. (Yes, I am aware I should probably go reread the TOS to see if I actually own or if Apple can remotely take my “ownership” away and back up the files like mad.) But I know my approach is uncommon amongst my social group.

    I do not have CDs and will not buy one. I know of their use for backing things up. I keep external hard drives but otherwise do not really like physical media and want to keep the count of physical things I have down. Another thing to collect dust, to have to try to keep nice because I like things to look nice, and to be heartbroken about when I inevitably spill something on it/scratch it/otherwise break or damage it, whether in a “it will lose functionality” way or just a superficial way. I’ll avoid the pain and just go digital.

    I am also just not much of a merch person. I might donate money to support musicians but please don’t give me a T-shirt I’ll never want to wear (they are not my style, I might buy clothing if it actually fits my style but merch clothing almost always doesn’t) or a poster I’ll never hang up. If I like your music I might buy sheet music to play it myself. Better be accurate though, not a simplification, or I’ll turn up my nose and transcribe it myself. Can’t guarantee I’ll have perfect results, but I will be closer to the original than the simplified piano/vocal/maybe guitar scores that are often put out.

    I also don’t know what skibidi toilet is, besides a meme that really belongs to people a decade younger than me. I don’t care to find out but I am happy to let them have their fun.
