@6gain Nice! What is your solar charger?

At the manual sorting part of the tour of the recycling facility, the guide said "robots will never be able to replace the vision and dexterity of the human sorters".

Got a bit of a bike workshop from Community Cycleworks - and learned they do a great Build a Bike workshop where they build bikes with and for the community from old donated/recycled bikes.

A queue to see the recycling centre... that's a good thing I guess

Off to Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility to see how the Materials Recovery Facility works as part of Open House #London.. that's just how I roll https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk/listings/5389

Stir To Action's new issue is on the way, with a focus on the strength of co-operation in a crisis. (Disaster collectivism rather than disaster capitalism). Even an article by Rebecca Solnit. Been loosely thinking about this for a while, definitely looking forward to this issue covering it. https://www.stirtoaction.com/issues/co-operatingoutofcrisis

The potential of a truly distributed web, no giants, no silos, I find it incredibly exciting. It's possible.

International Repair Day on the way! https://ifixit.org/blog/11451/save-the-date-international-repair-day-is-october-20/

@jakebeamish Doesn't really help... but I'm using spacemacs and org-mode on Linux. I guess with spacemacs you don't need to worry about M (maybe).

@kdsch Interesting, thanks for the reference.

Heading off to Homebrew Website Club London shortly. . and posting about it from Indigenous on Android, to my website, which syndicates to Mastodon! Good times. #indieweb
