This week on my #podcast, I read my @Medium column, "#GigWork Is the Opposite of #Steampunk," about the worst-of-all-worlds of #bossware, where an app is your boss, and you live at work because your home and/or car is a branch office of the factory:

As with so much of my work these days, the column opens with a reference to the #Luddites, and to @bcmerchant's superb, forthcoming history of the Luddite uprisings, "Blood in the Machine":

A short description of the process. You can find a few pictures here, but I had some trial and error process and even with the final ones, no warranty it will hold long, as @nickelpin also explained very well !
So, take the mask appart, clean the parts well (I used dishsoap and then isopropanol after drying).
For the flexible parts (edges of the filters and facepiece) just paint the whole carefully with black Angelus paint. I used two fine layers.

1/ Ever wondered how your local area has changed over half a century? Today, @ONS is releasing an interactive article covering some of the most interesting changes between 1961 and 2011 England & Wales censuses right down to a local/district level ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
2/ This piece—developed by my colleagues @Annaekhoo (#DataJournalism) and @SamCtrl (#DataViz) from analysis by Amy Boyson (@ONS historical)—has been an opportunity to test some of the techniques we’re hoping to use to explore 100 years of change up to the most recent @Census2021
3/ In particular we've been exploring ways to use historical @OrdnanceSurvey maps painstakingly digitised by @natlibscotmaps as a background for the historical datasets. We hope this #steampunk-esque retro-innovation helps to bring the past to life...

🌊I took out an older model from me and loaded it onto @Sketchfab. It is one of my favorite works and part of my #IndieGame project.⚓

These renderings are not new, but for the completeness of it, I will post them right here as well.

The whole thing was meant as a rework for myself to see my progress. I did my original work at the beginning of my studies(2015). The new diver was created shortly after my studies(2018-19)
This is the old one i made at the beginning of my studies. it is much simpler and chunkier

In a change of pace for this weekend, here's a thread on making a steampunk submersible out of copper and a glass bouy #metalworking #copperjewelry #steampunk #crafts ImageImage
Glass buoy from a thrift shop, old bottle of sauce, scrap wood, soaked in water, and a scribbled grand plan on paper. ImageImageImage
I soldered the frame out of copper sheet and wire. Always have a bucket of water handy. I also used some scrap wood and dowels left over from another project for the outer shell and the 'engines' Propellers made from copper sheet. ImageImageImage

Sortie du #TrouNoir, voici la dix-neuvième séance du cabinet de chaologie ! Au menu, Tarkov, Low Magic Age et plein d'autres critiques de jeux vidéo plus ou moins récents.

On décolle avec CONSORTIUM, un jeu de rôle science-fictionnesque pour le moins original. Mais cela suffit-il a en faire un bon jeu ?

En 2019, j’ai goûté une nouvelle drogue. Elle est dure, elle est exigeante, elle est addictive. Un escape game avec des flingues, du loot et du post-apo contemporain, bienvenue à Tarkov.

I submit: this event was elegant and full of the innovation community of Geneva. Also, if the camera was pointed the other direction, there was a chaos of robots and steampunk DIY 🤩
@opengeneva @RadioTeleSuisse @HPE @ascaphe
Yes, I did get very inspired by a chance encounter with the @EcolintGeneva #STEMcenter cross-disciplinary approach, and yes I did then bring their robots to this elegant event...
...and yes I did then get journalists, public and innovators to play with said robots 🤖... @RadioTeleSuisse @nicolascapt @ascaphe @opengeneva @HPE
