Looking to #commission a very simple #watercolour for my latest essay on decentralised culture, with an immediate start. I have a very clear brief, and the essay it will accompany will be published this month as part of the work produced by my organisation the New Design Congress. Please boost and DM me if you know of anyone.

Thank u fediverse ~~~~ 💖

@neauoire Out of curiosity, I notice that a lot of the hypercard jam screenshots look like they’re the same virtual machine setup. Is this standard Basilisk / System 7 emulator setup, or did y’all put together a standardised package for the jam?

RIP John Conway, the mathematician who developed the Game of Life. Succumbed to COVID–19 this week.

As a teenager, the Game of Life captured my imagination. After struggling for years with Mathematics in High School, his work ignited my frustrated brain as to the direct power of numbers as a way to express and play with systems and the wider world. His work made sense where my math teaches failed.

This led me to Monome’s early devices, experimental music and systems theory.

The challenges of #p2p video conferencing are immense, especially on CPU and bandwidth. I would argue that many technical challenges could be solved via novel and considered interface design.

Immensely frustrated that, with #Zoom turning out to be literally malware, there are no good #p2p video conferencing options that can step in and replace it, while scaling to 20–200 people.

We need leftist, commons-based #shockdoctrine alternatives. For moments like this and the climate crisis.

Last night I ran a 2 hour livestream and Q&A with some friends, teaching the basics of threat modelling in crisis. If you missed it, there's a replay here online for 14 days:
