Notes are central for rhizoma. They — like blood — bring life to every corner of the knowledge body. For the flow to stay consistent, uninterrupted, and smooth from one person to another, it has to follow some conventions. Otherwise, if notes are not cl...

We glance at our phones a hundred times a day, doomscroll endlessly, overshare, and online shop till we (mentally) drop. Experts label it digital addiction. But what if we're not battling chemical hooks in our brains? What if the overtures to connection, as shallow as they may be, are a reflection o

The fastest-growing sector of the culture economy is distraction. You can call it scrolling, swiping, wasting time, or whatever you want. But it’s not art or entertainment; it's just ceaseless activity.

anyone have some good sources for posters / prints? I need to fill up my blank walls 😭

it's getting kinda hard to keep up with everything that's changing

woke up the next morning and the computers have resolved themselves

Unless your idea is truly revolutionary (Vine's 6 second looping videos in 2013), chances are someone else has done it or is actively working on it. 

Don't let that stop you. You just have to do it better and in your own way.

Am I insane for using a M2 MBA for 7 months and not getting any signifiant work done only to get a 4gb 2015 MBA and to actually have some level of productivity? I think I'm too spoilt for ram 🤥

The news about like tumblr selling their user activity/data to Open Ai  is so shitty but unsurpising.

Like it didn't matter for reddit because Steve (ceo) treats the service and his users as literal plebs to be played around to his will ( rightly so)  But TUMBLR? Wow.

Just wrote a couple of sentences on how to write literature notes. Sharing bc it seems relevant outside of rhizoma as well. https://rhizoma.cc/posts/to-write-an-insightful-note-follow-the-conventions

tiktok had me up at 5:30am catching up on all the beef lol

If only they'd given out the Dune worm popcorn bucket..

Unemployed people aren’t less talented, they’re just unemployed.

This font goes so so so hard.

this might be equally insane, but in a similar situation my distractions didn't load as fast on the old laptop, so I got more work done on it.

in my ideal world the purpose of a company is to make the world a better place in which to live

the “in which to live” being the primary concern

We glance at our phones a hundred times a day, doomscroll endlessly, and overshare. Experts label it digital addiction. 

But what  if the overtures to connection are a reflection of what we need?

You can tell me to jump into a pit of snakes, roll up a boulder up a hill or build a castle brick by brick on my own, I can do that. 

BUT you can never make me look, read and sort out my own notes, thats worse than anything I know. no way

9hrs of vibes to work to. It’s synthy. It’s wavy. It’s newish. Just put on random and go.

Brian Eno, asking the real question:

"Why aren't programmes for grown-ups made with the same assumptions: viz, people are inpatient, want results quickly, prefer good rapport to endless options, are more concerned about easy usability than high fidelity"

Two people who inspire me more than any CEO or technology ever will.

the most important thing is to know what you can’t know

my theory - based on absolutely nothing - is that somewhere a designers manager and surrounding team were canned, and this designer had nothing to do so they said "fuck it I'm redesigning the sign in" and they got it shipped lmao

AI is hyped as the solution to all our problems when in fact it is just an illusion. 

AI won't fix our society's structural problems because technological advancement often does not align with social order.

Just a reminder that art isn’t dead just because technology can parrot it!

Stop talking about your processes. 
Creative problem solving is not a linear flow. 
Designers should be guided by principles not processes.
Iterations need to occur on a regular basis.
The main focus is your user. 
Learn how to understand them.

if you love it so much why don’t you marry it

I don't think y'all realize that Kendrick dropped a Califronia classic.

writing code should feel like laying brick

Badminton balls have a name!? And they are called shuttlecocks!?

Since we’re in a new community that’s growing, remember what community means. You can’t build and sustain community if you aren’t helping other people. If your goal is engagement, engage.

Everyone racing to build blackbox AI systems that spit out statistically sampled results means more opportunity for building reliable, understandable, deterministic tools for users who are skilled professionals, know what they are trying to achieve, & how they want to achieve it.

I don’t even have a job now…so uh…n-no? 🤡
