One thing that still shapes how I think of the world is this introductory linguistics class where the instructor have explained the difference between prescriptivist and descriptivist linguists.

Prescriptivists think they know language better, or at least think that one can know “the language” “better.” For them, language is governed by rules and patterns, and everyday language is merely a manifestation of these structures.

Descriptivists take a totally different stance. They believe that everyday language is “the language” and that language is continuously reshaped by its users in unpredictable ways. Which means: there is no structure, and no rules set in stone. Only the language itself, an entity in constant flux.

Being a prescriptivist is comforting while quite involved in the justifying change part. Being a descriptivist is FOMO, but freeing in that you know there’s no universal unattainable truth.

This one class made me a descriptivist. Not only in linguistics, but in many other areas and systems. Before I rush to change something, I think: is this situation a consequence of how people interact, systemically? Is there benefit to it? Should I understand it better before trying to impose my rules on it?

I should.

@deersyrup LMK what y'all think! I took it way more seriously when I realized it had all the hiking trails including closed down ones.

@vbatts What made you wanna go wearable in the past? IMO practicality and usefulness is important. I feel like some folks focus purely on the aesthetics and end up with a device that has no purpose outside of content farming. :P

@deersyrup I really like Organic Maps. works great offline. Haven't tried on iOS yet but seems they support it. organicmaps.app/

@vbatts It's fun if you want to prioritize portability. My setup easily fits in a fanny pack when I'm not wearing it and hangs from my belt when I am. Beryllium is just the most active arch distro for arm with drivers and kernel stuff focused on graphical performance on rockchip SBCs. I'm ok using whatever else if it existed. Also I just kinda like how arch works. niri is super fun. Been using it as a normal desktop for years too.

@vbatts I need to do a writeup still. I just did a major update last week. :P tl;dr: khadas edge 2 glued to a battery, twiddler 3 one handed keyboard, XReal One Pro+ glasses for display. BeryliumOS arch distro for ARM linux with niri as the window manager for infinite horizontal scroll.

Jealous of europeans since they get access to the fancy nitrous oxide monster energy drink flavors all they want.

Found a guy doing FPV at the beach and he liked checking out my wearable computing setup. Feels really natural to walk around in mixed realities. Especially with how easy it is to move the screen into the corner without needing fancy window managers.

One thing they don't tell you about polyamory is how much work it is to make time for everyone before a long trip :P
