When I was at the university, as a student, I remember getting overly excited by new media art: arts, technology, and all what’s in-between. It was 2010, FabLabs were sprouting, I’d rather design but knew a little coding (quite a bit in perspective, times […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The front building of the university where I teach digital art, with written on top « Institut Universitaire de Technologie »

Inside the building, an entire, dedicated, and available, FabLab. Haven’t been there yet, but I’m in awe!

I’d have expected this email to say « your membership has expired ». This version actually suits me best. 👋 #degoogle #endsurveillance #mychoice

Another tool I’ve been checking out this morning: milanote.com. I love the endless possibility of an infinite canvas, different type of items (note, link, comment, image, sketch, draw, and I certainly forget some more). Mobile app for quick notes. A bit […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Screenshot of the privacy and security terms of the Milanote app. It says: Backups Milanote stores customer data in a combination of databases on AWS and Google Cloud. Automatic backups are enabled, encrypted similarly to live production data, and occur at least daily. Data Encryption Milanote implements encryption in transport and at rest. Customer data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 within database tables and backups. The encryption keys are managed by our database storage providers. Data sent in-transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or greater. Physical Security Milanote leverages cloud providers to host our application and defer data center physical security controls to them. • AWS - AWS's physical security_controls here • Google Cloud - Google Security overview

On another topic: any idea on why what is shown in the @pixelfed app (iOS) differs from what appears on a web browser? I visited @Kagi on web and saw several posts and 179 followers. When I went on the mobile app, I saw only 3 posts and no following at all. #pixelfed #ios

Sudden, profound need to get back that old typewriter my grandpa gave me over 15 years ago. Once things go digital they’re never safe from being scraped, but at least their creation process will be undeniably human. ✏️ Illustration by Yohan Sacré

Roman graphique qui se lit d’un souffle, et qui parle de nature, d’anthropocène, de résistence. Et de plusieurs autres thèmes que vous voudrez y lire. Beau papier, belles couleurs, imprimé en Italie et édité par Éditions 2024. « Alyte » par Jérémie Moreau […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Couverture de « Alyte », le roman graphique par Jérémie Moreau

Deux cases du roman graphique « Alyte ». La première récite « Chez Silva, la mort est soeur de la vie. Chez la Léthalite, la mort est soeur de la mort ». Et puis « Elle tue ceux qui passent sur son corps, mais ne prend même pas leur soleil. Elle nous éteint »

La case voit Alyte sur le dos d’un renard qui dit « On ne peut pas se battre contre une chose pareille » et « Tout ce qu’il nous reste c’est profiter de notre petit bout de vie tant qu’il est encore temps »

Alyte au regard décis qui dit « Je refuse »

I really loved this wrapping: the stamp, the bookstore name, the card with that small text next to the character head. « Sorry » it says. « Library of Disorder » is the name of the Parisian bookstore the gift comes from. Paper and poetry. And love. #VendrediLecture

Hiking in nature, with benefits. 10km and a bag of (someone else’s) trash collected in less than 2 hours.

Another topic that thrills me and drives me to do something: school canteens and the way they’re treated as mass production #industry (in most urban cases) and how they openly ignore any #ecological involvement of #food into #ClimateChange. This book is […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

“…to reflect the value we have added […] we are increasing the price of your subscription by 43%” Sorry #Microsoft, all you’ve added is lack of privacy. #subscription #word #excel #ppt #powerpoint #xls #doc

Screenshot of an email received from Microsoft that says my Microsoft 365 subscription will go from €69 to €99 per year, and the change is effective in two weeks time.

Every time this little popup–ehm–pops-up, I can't help but feeling a sense of belonging. Thanks for that nice, clever use of UX writing. #TakeMeHome

Ok so this is quite an experiment: Future Relics, by Berggruen Institute. Interesting, disturbing at times, worth sharing. 👀 futurerelics.berggruen.org
