Wraparound cover in gouache for a small artbook I self-published years ago.

Back then Dan Dos Santos invited me to write a guest post for Muddy Colors so I shared my process for it. My process has changed a little since then but there might still be some useful info there: muddycolors.com/2018/04/rising…

So I just realised that the "tech princess" link on my website was broken, after I made my instagram disappear.

Anyway, here's the back story: I was going to React Day Berlin in November 2019, and I was so bored of going to tech conferences in jeans and a t-shirt, and wanted to be *hyper* femme, so I bought a huge ballgown and wore that to the conference. I also tried to encourage some other femmes to join me, but didn't have much luck.

It was literally to poke fun at the fact that tech conferences are all jeans and t-shirts or like suits. I wanted to do something different.

#techprincess

Photo of Emelia at the conference from over the left shoulder. She is holding a coffee cup with both hands, and facing away from the camera. Emelia is wearing a black corset, with lace puff sleeves, her hair is black and up in a fancy updo with a mixture of dark red and magenta highlights. At the bottom of the photo you can see the tulle skirt of her ballgown peaking through with pops of reds and pinks through black. Behind Emelia is a man standing in business casual, his face blurred. This photo was taken by the React Day Berlin 2019 event photographers (unfortunately uncredited by name).
Photo of the full ballgown Emelia wore, the description is the same as the previous photo, but shows the full ballgown skirt. The skirt is pink, orange, and black tulle in overlapping layers. It is about 1.5m across with the hoop skirt and petticoats underneath. The outfit is shown on a mannequin.

This seems like a perfectly reasonable use of AI, especially when balanced against the documented already existing harm, which is doctors not paying close attention to their patients because the record-keeping requirements mean they are more focused on their EMR software than on the person in front of them.

I get that we all want to hate on inappropriate use of tools, but "fill out this form for me" seems like a domain where the AI error rate will easily be below the human error rate.

QC is already in the process of adopting Epic, which will be another $1B IT endeavor so this will make it sounds like they're being innovative. Also, if these tools are saving the raw audio, then transcribing it and summarizing it's providing the detail to catch errors as well. Since it doesn't remove the requirement that a doctor verify the notes.

I will note that man doctors in QC today do dictation to create patient encounter summaries (these are manually transcribed).

Tak, a je to venku! Ještě před pár měsíci jsem s videem neuměl nic. Teď jsem, po týdnech práce, dokázal dokončit tohle 💪

Účelem bylo vysvětlit, o čem klub je, a jak vypadá vevnitř, aby jeho hodnotu hned pochopili i lidi, co se do něj nepodívají.

Původní myšlenka byla natočit jen screencast jak chodím po Discordu, k tomu voiceover, možná k tomu přidat svou hlavu někde dole v kolečku.

No, můžete si pustit, jak to dopadlo 😆 Dělal jsem to týdny a týdny.

Prozkoumám, díky za tip. Akorát se obávám, že bych potřeboval něco jako „když se na to kouká člověk na stránce, tak nechť se to bez cookies vloží z VHSek, ale když si to bude chtít rozkliknout do separátního tabu, nechť je to na YouTube, protože tam se to bude víc šířit“. Jsem malej pán, abych přesvědčením porazil algoritmy Big Tech, potřebuju reálný marketing a organický dosah.

@sesivany @schmaker IG je už prakticky jen o krátkých videích, takže Meta je tam taky silný hráč. To už máš tři, a YT Shorts mi v tomhle přijdou vlastně nejslabší a těží především z toho, že je to all-in-one platforma, takže pokud nechci dělat obsah pro deset sítí, vyberu si YT, jelikož má nejširší cílovku a udělám tam jak krátké, tak dlouhé, tak i streamované video. Ale nejsem expert, @zbiejczuk by měl asi hodnotnější dojmy nebo data.

@sesivany @schmaker spíš můžu nabídnout dojmy než data; ve streamování je tady pak Twitch (což je ovšem taky BigTech, co si budem). u YT je ovšem ještě jedna podstatná věc / výhoda: a tím je to, že to je po Googlu (sic!) druhý největší vyhledavač a ta videa tam umístěná mohou na rozdíl od TikToku a IG získávat hromady views v mnohem delším časovém horizontu. A další "kartou" pro Shorts je to, že dost rodičů zakáže dětem IG a TikTok, ale YT málokdo.

@sesivany @schmaker Jinak dělat věci tím správným způsobem je milé a snažím se hodně, ale jestli můj byznys jednou zkrachuje, bude to z 80 % kvůli této snaze. Nepoužívám reklamy, netrackuju lidi, neotravuju je… Ale pak taky pro spoustu lidí neexistuju. Dělat věci podle srdíčka je luxus. A já už si musím vybírat bitvy, protože doba je zlá.

@schmaker Chápu. Mě živí korporát, takže k tomu můžu mít čistě altruistický přístup. Jinak nikdo nikoho nenutí odcházet z YouTube. Velká pomoc je už jen to, že to člověk nahraje vedle toho do nějaké alternativy. Škoda, že nefunguje spolehlivě ten automatický sync z YT na PeerTube. Google se tomu aktivně brání, takže to je pořád rozbité.

Čemu se brání? Já kdybych měl jeden CLI příkaz, který ručně pustím ze své domácí IP adresy, a který mi zkontroluje YT kanál a co mi chybí na PeerTube kanálu přesype pomocí yt-dlp, tak je to minimální effort na mé straně a klidně to udělám. Nemusí to být přece všechno 100% automatické. Takhle od houpací sítě mi přijde, že to je jeden bash loop nebo tak něco. Nechcete to někdo navibekódit? 😆

@schmaker na yt-dlp je právě postavený ten sync, jenže kámen úrazu je v tom, že Google to neustále rozbíjí a člověk musí agresivně aktualizovat na nové verze yt-dlp, což v případě PeerTube by znamenalo, že bychom museli jet na vývojové verzi, což se nám úplně nechce.

Ale talk is cheap. Kdybys s tím úvodním přesunem videí chtěl pomoct, tak řekni. Buď to udělám manuálně, nebo bych zkusil vymyslet něco automatického.

The UK may be about to lose access to Wikipedia as they've lost their High Court Challenge to OSA.

You can download Wikipedia by installing the @kiwix app kiwix.org/en/applications/

Then use library.kiwix.org/ to find Wikipedia, or any other interesting book. It will download a file (Wikipedia is 110gb) that you can then open in the Kiwix browser

FYI for TeamTalk server administrators who run Debian on an X86_64 machine, and may be considering upgrading to Debian 13: The ubuntu24-x86_64 package runs on Debian 13. You'll need the ubuntu22-x86_64 package for Debian 12. And BearWare, just because your opinion is that Ubuntu is the only version of Linux in existence, allow me to correct you to say that Debian was and is first.
Adendum: Someone pointed out that if you're using TeamTalk client in a Linux GUI, the Ubuntu24 version has accessibility problems, and the Ubuntu22 version will still run on Debian 13.

So I made a thing.

The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.

Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at nodeinfo and federation and stuff, rather than generally. I learned a few fun fedi-related things while testing it anyway, though.

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems.

Jo, decades of ignoring security and now complaining about the interests of the technical dept. I’m so sick and tired of all the complaints about “uhhh, ohhh, security….” from everywhere. If everybody would have done their job from beginning, instead of just hacking shit together (MVP, PoC, move fast and break things bullshit), then we would not have this problem. So stop complaining about security and do your job, or leave it!

I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸

nlnet.nl/project/Convo/

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅

More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟

#NLnet #NGIzero

A printout of an NGI Zero Commons fund information document, with a few things placed on top. Diagonally from top left to bottom right are: A Nokia 8110 "Bananaphone", an amigurumi (crochet) axolotl, and a Nokia 2720 Flip phone. On the top right corner of the paper is a round clockwork hen named clock-a-doodle-doo. Both phones are running the Convo app: one with an empty group chat list, and another with a list of conversations. If you look closely and get past the pixellation and blurred-ness, you might recognise group chats with icons for: Convo, XSF Communications Team, XSF Discussion, and JoinJabber General Chat.
