I Dream of Quieter Computing
我梦想着更安静的计算
Trans women are women. Trans rights are human rights. Fix your heart or die. I’m thinking of quieter computing. Everything these days is glass and refresh rates, is clouds and cloud-shapes, is brought to you in feeds and in troughs. 跨性别女性就是女性。跨性别权益就是人权。修正你的偏见，否则就此沉沦。我正在思考一种更安静的计算方式。如今的一切都是玻璃屏幕与刷新率，是云端与云的形状，是通过信息流和饲槽喂养给你的。
It’s hard not to pine for a forested internet, an imagined one of searching and finding, of patient and aimless wandering. I think of raising the torch overhead to read long-form, personal updates from anons I somehow feel I know, following their links into the underbrush, marking the path with #551A8B streaks. 很难不怀念那个森林般的互联网，那个存在于想象中、关于搜索与发现、关于耐心而漫无目的游荡的互联网。我想到举起火把，去阅读那些我似乎相识的匿名者所写的长篇个人更新，顺着他们的链接走进灌木丛，用 #551A8B（紫色）的痕迹标记出路径。
The rin gong resonance that rises when I let my cursor drift along the edges of a hand-made and hand-honed webring. We can’t “go back” — we’re remembering it wrong anyway. Too high grows the risk of dashing ourselves upon the rocky river rapids of the future when we’re all eyes set on bygone ages. 当我让光标沿着手工制作、精心打磨的“网络环”（webring）边缘滑动时，那种如磬声般的共鸣便会升起。我们无法“回到过去”——况且我们的记忆本身就是错的。当我们只顾着凝视往昔岁月时，撞上未来那湍急险滩的风险便会变得过高。
I dream instead of building something new: as we march with sure and strong limbs into the future of computing, I dream of sentences written with the express purpose of making readers crinkle their eyes up or grin knowingly, of handmade websites viewed on hackable hardware, of personal computers made personal once more. 我梦想着去构建一些新的东西：当我们迈着坚定有力的步伐走向计算的未来时，我梦想着那些写作的目的仅仅是为了让读者眯起眼睛或会心一笑的句子，梦想着在可破解的硬件上浏览手工制作的网站，梦想着个人电脑再次变得真正“个人化”。
An internet made for its denizens and dwellers by its admirers — ‘tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. What dreams may come, indeed. 一个由崇拜者为居民和居住者所创造的互联网——这真是一场值得虔诚祈愿的圆满。这确实是值得期待的梦境。
strange.website (https://strange.website/2022-11-01/) a website that is concealed by fog of war — the website cannot be observed until you explore each corner. you must be wary! bear thy cursor as one might a blade, as your exploration may reveal far more than mere HTML elements lurking in the mist. this link goes some strange place beyond this website go with care. strange.website (https://strange.website/2022-11-01/) 这是一个被“战争迷雾”笼罩的网站——除非你探索每一个角落，否则无法窥见其全貌。你必须保持警惕！像挥舞利刃一样挥动你的光标，因为你的探索可能会揭示出潜伏在迷雾中、远不止 HTML 元素的东西。此链接通往本网站之外的某个奇异之地，请小心前行。
