Sometimes I open a website with dark mode and I think, "Oh, I like the really subtle abstract shapes the have in the backgrou- no, wait, I just need to clean my screen."

My talk at @localfirstconf.com is up, in which I argue that local-first has a role to play in improving the resilience of democratic societies in an era of geopolitical tensions. I'm pretty happy with how this talk turned out www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Ru...
