Wasteland
- Food waste and gleaning.
Writing prose in Emacs with Termux is a little weird.
- It's because you have to workaround the fact that terminal emulators don't generally work well with touch keyboards.
- Termux solves this cleverly with a text input view you can access by swiping left on the extra keys row.
- It's neat, but not optimal for longer-form writing.
- Options:
  - Use orgzly for longer text input.
  - Try Emacs native Android build again.
  - Stick with it, it's not that bad.
Going all in on libre software and open hardware is a key part of digital ecosocialism.
- That said, use of proprietary alternatives may be necessary during transition.
Provisioning the knowledge commons with info on what software is good, how to use it, how to switch to it, etc, also very important.
Wasteland
- Soil, composting, and a surprise mention of metabolic rift.
- It's a well-written book - well paced, informative, humorous.
- Biogas.
Waste and what you do with it is an important part of any system.
- This is part of why I'm finding Wasteland so interesting.
  - Here the system is society.
- You can try and reuse it circulate it back into your system. Or you sink it somewhere in the environment.
  - It seems though, nothing is ever truly a sink - it always comes back one way or another…
- Or you try and reduce how much of it there is in the first place.
