Oh no. I think he has just begun the process of "open sourcing" so hopefully will get better with time.

I can relate as I'm still adjusting design workflows on Linux after a year. I guess that's part of the point, making digital tool choice/design an integral part of practice. Amazing that it is not considered in most courses TBH.

@KnowPresent oh man I cannot stand Georgia Lupi, and LoL'ed hard at how quickly her bogus "data humanism" escalated to "dataviz is the new ✨branding✨" but that is another conversation.

There's an LGM talk by @eylul I have been meaning to watch (haven't yet) on teaching art with open-source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIoSyF01zTg

It's harder than just the students though, at least in UK all major unis have deals with Adobe to get students hooked. I think making it clear they will have to rent these tools for life should start to make it sink in? + recent Venezuela example to illustrate they can pull the plug on your career.

also: turning courses/projects into repositories (e.g. https://nitter.net/_olliepalmer/status/1189177558648213504?s=20), making a more deliberate use of digital tools the actual subject of some of the teaching, and a requirement for projects. I have not tested these ideas though, just thoughts for now...

@KnowPresent +1000
If I ever go back to teaching in art/design schools it will have to be about this.

Thank you Andy! Excited to contribute. There's lots I want to improve, but also lots to learn about the constraints.

@entreprecariat @cryptpad ah nice to hear! indeed the slide theme is on my radar. I am starting with general UI things to familiarise myself with the code, and then I will dive in to the apps.

I'm delighted to be joining the team at @cryptpad : a collaborative office suite that is open-source and encrypted. I'll be working on design and usability, esp. for the privacy features. #ditchgoogledocs #zeroknowledge

@colm welcome!

@kurbitur thanks! and thanks for pointing out I need to add a link back to this page https://davidbenque.com/projects/architectures-of-choice/

@nolwennm bon à savoir, merci! Je crois que le DNS est censé se "propager" mais je n'y connais pas grand chose. Testé sur 2 ordis ici et ça marche 🤷‍♂️

Tu peux acceder à d'autres sites dat:// ? parfois dat ne marche pas sur les "gros" réseaux sécurisés type eduroam dans une université. Je dois alumer mon VPN quand je suis à Goldsmiths par exemple...

sinon tu peux tester l'addresse sans DNS/domaine au cas ou: dat://a323ff5b75a6d61a89edf63aa735686217b94c98563ada183e2003c98db608ec

Thanks to updates to the #dat CLI my #p2p #dataviz animation/broadcasting setup that was failing last March now seems to work 🙏

🗓️🔖 2.11.2019
Next week I'll be at IMPAKT Festival in Utrecht NL, on a panel about "Calm Technology" with Olia Lialina, @ccl , and Annet Dekker as moderator—curated by @l03s as part of the festival theme: Speculative Interfaces. I'll talk about mapping Youtube recommendations, and the possibility of perhaps, maybe, chilling out within algorithmic traps. 🕸️
