Ok Fediverse, one thing I absolutely love about the Birdsite is watching historians and other academics share their work in public to improve our understanding. I think I'm just gonna start cross posting some things I find interesting as I come across them. Maybe we can make a new hashtag? For now I'm gonna just reuse one from Birdsite that Dr. Karin Wulf created.
Really excited to try out Mimic 3 Text To Speech engine by @mycroft_ai when it comes out here soon. Looking forward to seeing how much of an improvement it is and hopefully try it offline too.
Trying to imagine what my next job would be thinking about the parts of my current job that I enjoy. I really love open standards and #webcomponents. Lately I've been digging in more to #ally standards as well. In the past my work has focused on bundling, developer tooling, and trying to improve CI processes.
I think if I was to try and sum up my work it's that I like enabling teams and individuals to go faster.
Would appreciate any signal boost on this one. I’m incredibly excited to build a team around BeeWare. I want to make sure we leave no stone unturned.

I love #webcomponents but the serialization of a boolean to a string always throws me. Anyone have a good way of handling this that they really like and want to share?
Not many ppl on the fediverse talking about #webcomponents it looks like. I'll have to start sharing about them here as well as on the musksite
I'm interested in moving from mastodon.social to an instance where I am a paying customer; it would be especially awesome if the vendor also provided other hosted libre tools for paying customers, such as an Owncloud/Nextcloud or Jitsi/BigBlueButton instance. I welcome your recommendations & I welcome boosts.
