Humans working the hard jobs for minimum wage while the ai robots write poetry and create artwork is not the future I wanted.
Great quote at the end of this piece on Future thinking by @chadgmoore
I have a few work in progress articles as open MicroBlog windows. This is not the best idea as they don’t always restore/I can lose them etc. So I’m debating a publishing app again (espeically if it can publish to multiple places). The obvious answers are
- Drafts - it can do all the things and I have the actions in place already
- Obsidian - it’s where my thoughts are and I can link them to other ideas.
- iA Writer - This could be a dedicated place for longform output.
I can make a good argument for each one but I’m trying to work out “Which will be easiest for me to use and will encourage me to use it the most?” My current guess is 3 as I already have 1 and 2 but don’t really use them (that’s a sign of something. Then again I could adapt my drafts workspace/add the obsidian plugins).
Most of my favourite bloggers have very simple blogging and marketing setups they’ve basically stuck to for years (WordPress, chronological theme + email newsletter).
I often think their sites are better because they are basic (no homepage that pushes you to buy something) and yet I get obsessed with all the different options rather than writing.
[TBF, I’ve actually had a really good run of just focusing on writing and writing longer things recently. I’m pretty chuffed with that.]
I have several notes in obsidian which are variations of
- How to keep my kids entertained at various times
- How to avoid screens at various times
- And some which have both.
These are all highly valuable notes.
Procreate announcement is currently live. I think they’re introducing a new (replacement?) app. While I wouldn’t want to pay a subscription, I’d pay a subscription for procreate to keep it running.
