This *sucks* to learn at first, but feels very cool to write with. Although I feel like I have to slow down a lot more than when I write with a ballpoint or a pencil. That does bring it down a notch, because I love being able to put thoughts to paper about as fast as I can think them. Also, being left-handed means that smudging is a bit of a problem. I&#39;m not sure whether I&#39;ll stick with it going forward, but I&#39;m glad that I&#39;m at least trying it! 2026-06-11T05:18:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszzdwq4x0fpq7ae9szsw80jpe7gz4y75svn5tzehk9rvgavq0kf5szyrm5c9f4fjj075e4djfq6ey60p6ny7ta0hz6vza7uwd6ntgg7g00s7jkwkq I finished the book Enshittification by <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span>! Highly recommended, an enjoyable read regardless if you&#39;re already familiar with the concepts discussed or if you&#39;re new to these ideas.<br/><br/>I adore that a large portions of the book are dedicated to what we, both as a larger society and as individuals can do about enshittification. Cory Doctorrow has done a couple talks lately where he explicitly talks about the differences between hope and optimism, and why he&#39;s hopeful for the future. His writing style clearly reflects that stance, even though that stance is only ever implied in this book. It&#39;s a breath of fresh air!<br/><br/>Also, I appreciated that the book challenged me on my negative feelings toward enshittification being used as a term to simply mean &#34;something getting worse.&#34; The last piece at the end of the acknowledgements changed my mind on that, and I appreciate that the creator of the word is chill with the word being used that way.<br/><br/>#enshittification #reading #books 2026-02-02T07:10:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfc49h94slwm49aq8huzwanyk09yqh4t5z0xyk4rpr6gn6ykr827czyrm5c9f4fjj075e4djfq6ey60p6ny7ta0hz6vza7uwd6ntgg7g00sn2mlnp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst0vx4wzyh0724ga39gy45ul5kj3js2hrp45ejfglfhq6ktwnv6lsljxpq0'>nevent1q…xpq0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is this a legal radio station? I&#39;ve never heard of them before but this looks amazing! I may start donating if I listen to a few stations and like what I hear. 2025-12-01T19:31:18Z
