Take, for example, permissions. We have an onerous permission model that stops a user acting as another, but sandboxing applications is mostly absent, except on mobile devices. This is because in the 1970s, you could trust the code, but you couldn’t trust the people! Now, computers are used by individuals, and we don’t trust the software, but the model hasn’t caught up.
I think the ideas in the essays are salient and really helpful in imagining what might have been, and what could be.

I'm wave packet bundles. (Hi!)
My directions of propagation are mostly inward and forward, with less wave action in my outward directions. (No children.)
I usually try to surf near the crest of social norms, while still moving perpendicular to most others. (Less thrilling vertical plunge, but more forward motion.)

Went to Small World Festival. Mostly dry and occasionally sunny.
Small World has such a nice friendly hippy vibe, lots of deadlocks and goths and pirates and beautiful face paints.
Bands all energetic and talented and mostly have been playing here together for 20 years in one form or another. All of 'em doing it for the love of it. Pony doing a great job of organizing the team to put it together.
One dude seemed pretty new, making up synth songs with his repeats and beeps and rapping from audience suggestions. Failed to photograph him well though. There's another 4 bands mentioned in the photo descriptions here.
Medically necessitated more or less total sobriety at the moment, so different whole thing. Those I knew well there mostly working, so lots of time alone dancing soberly and reading. Wish I was better at talking to strangers.
Still good times.

Got out on the OG route on the river today, it's been a minute. Mostly running on the treadmill or park by work, as It's been pretty hot here. I can handle 70's (F) though 😏 #running #runnersofmastodon
