New episode of @fossandcrafts! @mlemweb and I are joined by @vickysteeves to talk about open and reproducible research, FOSS and library sciences, and even a conversation about what the FOSS world can learn from game modding communities! https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/21-vicky-steeves.html

My favorite episodes are ones that emphasize interdisciplinarity and gosh does this episode ever meet that criteria!

So, after a week and a half mostly offline due to the longest migraine I've ever had, I'm back! Still a bit photosensitive and sitting at an alternate workspace with just my laptop because my external monitor is too bright ... but we'll see how today goes

And now for a VERY important episode of @fossandcrafts to me... Episode 20: Hygiene for a computing pandemic https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/20-hygiene-for-a-computing-pandemic.html

Both handwashing and ocaps involve a kind of "Don't X where you Y" (I'll let you fill in the biological version). The evidence for ocaps is overwhelming (see show notes). Let's make computing safe!

Wash your hands, save a life.

Separate identity and authority, save a user.

Episode 20: Hygiene for a computing pandemic https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/20-hygiene-for-a-computing-pandemic.html

How can we give users a safe and healthy computing environment?

We explore a solution with ample evidence (ocaps), and explore parallels with the (retroactively surprising) fight for handwashing acceptance.

Really excited about the just-released episode of @fossandcrafts: "Mallory Knodel on bits and bytes and human rights"! https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/19-mallory-knodel.html

We talk a lot about the overlap between tech issues and human rights, so it was a real treat to have on Mallory whose job is literally about that connection! I had no idea of the historical overlap between defining human rights and defining tech standards!

Episode 19: Mallory Knodel on bits and bytes and human rights https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/19-mallory-knodel.html

Mallory Knodel joins us to talk about being a public interest technologist at a social justice org and the (historical, even!) overlap between defining both tech standards and human rights.

New @fossandcrafts episode where @mlemweb and I interview our friend @brainwane about... well, all sorts of things! Sketching, standup comedy, maintainership, learning skills in "no big deal contexts", fanvids, etc etc etc... https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/18-sumana-harihareswara.html

But also just every time @brainwane says something, I end up walking away and thinking about it... pretty much all the time. If you enjoy this episode, you might want to read more of her writings! https://www.harihareswara.net/writings.html

Episode 18: Sumana Harihareswara on sketching, standup, and maintainership https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/18-sumana-harihareswara.html

We're so excited to have @brainwane on the show! So many great topics our title couldn't capture them all... also "no big deal contexts" for learning skills, fanvids, and more!

When editing @fossandcrafts sometimes we have guests and have to do "multi-track editing" in audacity... which is a bit more work than single track. @mlemweb sometimes edits but previously only did the single track ones but I wrote up a tutorial for her... so why not share it with you? https://dustycloud.org/misc/audacity-multi-track-tutorial.txt

For a long time I've said semi-jokingly, "Don't worry, nobody takes my ideas seriously." I've used that as a self-defense mechanism so that I can a) be humble and b) explore ideas that seem promising but are not yet popular.

But people seem to keep taking me seriously, especially lately... so... maybe I need a new strategy...

@cwebber @mlemweb I was hoping for more ... murder mystery, that's all.
