Stuart Card, Thomas Moran and Alen Newell connected cognitive psyhology to computers leading to usability, easily more sellable to industry than what Alan Kay, Douglas Engelbart, Ted Nelson and Ivan Sutherland's work which was more radical

If Engelbart, Kay, and Sutherland had been the intellectual lineage industry adopted, the term and practice would have been very different. Instead of usability you’d have : Augmentability

Augmentability, from Engelbart’s Augmenting Human Intellect: systems measured by how much they expand our capacity to think/coordinate.

Malleability, from Kay’s Smalltalk, Dynabook vision: the computer as a medium you reshape, not a tool you merely use.

Expressivity, a metric for how well a system lets humans express ideas, not just execute tasks.

I have, once again, expanded my list of domain extensions I would recommend:

.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)

All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.

空の軌跡1stのリメイク、ナイトメアがちゃんと難しくて良い。体験版の範囲を超えたあとどうなるのかわからないが、2発くらったら死ぬのは古のRPGとしては適切。零・碧まではリメイクするのだろうが、閃の軌跡もナイトメアをちゃんと難しい難易度にしてリメイクして欲しい。

If you haven't heard @malloryMallory Knodel on "Power Station", please take the time for it. She makes the case for an open social web so well, grounding it in movements for social change over the last 3 decades. It's a great talk!

Power Station: This is for everyone and everyone should be able to contribute

The advent of the internet changed how we interact with friends, our nation and the world. We are all there now, accessing news and popular culture through social media apps, attending school, working and connecting with friends. At our best we are also engaging, as nonprofits and political campaigns, in mobilizing voters and organizing public policy campaigns that advance equity and strengthen democracy. All of this exists while social media companies profit from disseminating hate-based disinformation peddled by authoritarian politicians and their surrogates. In this episode of Power Station, the awesome public interest technologist and social justice activist Mallory Knodel poses a vital question. What if we looked at the internet and social media apps not as the final arbiter of politics and culture but as a tool over which we, collectively and individually have choice and agency? What if the technical design of the platform we uses supported human rights and democracy? Mallory and her co-creators at the Social Web Foundation are building the infrastructure needed to make our connectivity more intentional, purposeful and creative. The are envisioning and implementing a Fediverse and ActivityPub as an open space for everyone. Hear her and share!
