I'd like to port this question from birdsite as I'm pretty sure interesting answers will pop up here:

"What would you say are the important *events* (things that happened, not in the “conference” sense) in the domain of #design in the past decade?" (Bill DeRouchey)

Do I know anyone who has experience with #Mozilla #DeepSpeech? I'd be very grateful if I could ask a few questions about an open source project I'm working on #ML #MachineLeaning

Boosts appreciated. ❤️

lmao every few months moxie talked big about how his centralised chat app is better than decentralised alternatives because its centralisation prevents fragmentation and increases security, and really it was so he could build critical user mass and then insert a shitcoin into it

My son wants to make some terrain with a 3d printer for his tabletop adventures.. Any tips on accessible software for designing stuff? (Personally I find blender super scary.)

For those in Brussels tomorrow, it is our final book reading of 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism' by Shoshana Zuboff, at 15:00 at the Beursschouwberg, with That Might Be Right.

SA 18.12 - SESSION VI
with Seda Gürses
CONCLUSION
Chapter 18. A Coup from Above

We have been learning about 'a global architecture through which vast wealth and power are accumulated in ominous new behavioral futures markets, where predictions about our behavior are bought and sold, and the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new means of behavioral modification...'

Tomorrow we are joined by Seda Gürses, a scholar of TU Delft whose work focuses on issues of privacy, software infrastructures, social justice and political economy as they intersect with computer science. With Seda we will move towards a collective understanding of the book's conclusion.

We work towards a shared, although not necessarily consensual, understanding of the topic. The book is in English, English will be the main language of conversation but we can contribute in other languages.

If you would like to join register here - https://www.beursschouwburg.be/en/events/the-age-of-surveillance-capitalism/

Quick #cabal update!

We've landed private messages in both the new cabal-desktop release (7.0.0) and in the new cabal-cli release (14.0.0), super exciting! :D

These updates include a breaking protocol change so make sure to update to the new clients for the new year.

Download the new clients:
* https://github.com/cabal-club/cabal-desktop/releases/v7.0.0
* `npm i -g cabal@latest` (make sure cabal -v returns 14.0.0, npm seems to be a bit slow today)

Is losing your data good for you? Tune in on the 18th of December (18:00h - 19:00h CEST) to find out!

In 2015, researcher and media artist Dave Young (@dv) wrote an essay entitled "Know Your Filesystem (And How It Affects You)". He argued that "the ‘traditional’ filesystem interface, familiar to us as a visually traversable hierarchical structure of files and folders, is replaced by an app-centric interface."

Half a decade later the issue has become urgent again and it is time for a retrospective evaluation. In the fourth and last episode of The User Condition, PDF-hoarders Dave Young and Silvio Lorusso will look back at this interface parable and try to understand where are we now. Did app-centricity actually become hegemonic? What did we lose in the meantime? What have we gained? How helpful is the "helpful framework" of smart interfaces? How purist should you be when it comes to file management?
