Human creativity has certain peculiar features that bear down on questions of creativity and, therefore, IP. I look at those questions here. This will likely be my last video on this subject.
The ideal structure for human life is local. It's not federal. It's not international. God has organized even the heavenly hierarchy so that people have local and limited authority. Whether church, or government, or economy, it should be oriented toward local life. There should be no single head over anybody, and over-arching empires are against the Logos. Should we want to live in conformity with the divine order, we need to focus on what we actually control, deal with people in our lives, and accept we have no, and should not have, control over foreign lands.
To understand what I mean by Logos, see [this video](https://odysee.com/@Canicus:1/logos:c)
EDIT: I originally uploaded the thumbnail as the file; I'm correcting this.
I am switching my reconstructed pronunciation over to the "Lucian pronunciation." I'll probably still use modern pronunciation on most videos for while; I need to be able to use it smoothly. The Lucian pronunciation is just better for a wide variety of purposes.

I have taken to hooking my LBRY desktop into Newsboat. It suits me, but maybe not others. The relevent commands in the video are below:
Macros in the newsboat config:
macro o set browser "lbry"; open-in-browser ; set browser "BROWSER %u"
macro g set browser "lbrynet get"; open-in-browser ; set browser "BROWSER %u"

On my last weekend, I was a bit slammed, so I made a "stream of thought" video that I thought twice about uploading. This is that video. IIRC, I focused on the image, men and women, and liturgy.
The winter storm has come in, and TX is just not prepared for it. The kids are stuck inside. There will be no quiet. I need to spend the day making sure we have wood to burn.
As a result, rather than publish no video, I'm putting this video up on Gen 2. I'm just not dedicated enough to sit outside in the cold and record :)
Aeneas and my wife. Aeneas had been adopted by a friend of my kin. He didn't have time to tend to him, and he was a needy puppy. He'd been bouncing from home to home, so we took him in.
I've had the Pinephone for eight months, and against all advice I've used it as my daily driver for eight months. I needed a new phone, so I took the plunge. I wouldn't be able to justify buying it for some time if I hadn't. This is my perspective on the Pinephone after using it for eight months and about whether I would recommend it.
CORRECITON: I had used an android phone a little over a decade ago. Five, ten. It's all the same thing.
[Getmail](https://getmail6.org/) is a mail retrieval system. It descends from the old fechmail system, and that was my favorite mail retrieval system of all time. I haven't liked OfflineImap because, well, imap syncing annoys me.
I focus on how to set up POP retrieval in the video, because I like POP. If you have to use IMAP and wish to follow the instructions just change the SimplePOP3SSLRetriever over to SimpleIMAPRetriever. If you want to avoid any syncing features and don't mind having your email on one device (I prefer this), set the option delete=true under Options in your RC, and it will delete remote copies. Your email will then still download in seconds even if it's imap. I have to do this with my protonmail accounts.
I do not cover mail readers at all. After I'm moved into my new house and settled, I may make a video on how to configure mutt to access maildir.
