More Codeberg lately. Less GitHub. At home here, recovering some old FLOSS roots in academic computing. More to do and say and write than ever! codeberg.org

One of the best, most coherent explanations of #AI MCP agents I’ve yet seen (finally, b/c we needed this). TLDR: please be safe, learn the ways of docker, and containerize your #MCP agents! dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10....

Anyone else migrating from GitHub to Codeberg? How's it going? For those teaching students to git, are you having them start out on Codeberg now? Is it better to give students a choice (in case GH still better for their networking) , or just start everyone clean on Codeberg? dev.to/alanwest/how...

The quantity and variety of projects in this list demonstrate a rich field of dignified labor with practical consequences. AI resistance work could make smaller, efficient, far less predatory and destructive AI. Vive la resistance!

Taught Invisible XML today to my undergrads for the first time. Fun to write a deliberate grammar instead of grabbing at patterns haphazardly with ad hoc regular expressions! Well, both are fun, but ixml makes you feel like a serious wielder of Unicode lore. Or a Cheshire Cat. invisiblexml.org

Everyone's learning AI. But who's teaching data prep, output validation, and sustainable infrastructure? Our DHSI course Week 2 June 15-19: "Processing Your XML/TEI" teaches you XPath, XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron—skills to apply WITH AI tools on your terms. Future-proof your work. bit.ly/dhsi-xpath

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Ready to go for the #MLA26 Session 1 tomorrow morning! I'm part of the DHSI workshop panel, talking about our course for June 2026 Week 2, + WHY we care about processing TEI / XML in the age of AI, too. @teiconsortium.bsky.social @digitalhumanities.bsky.social slides.com/elisabeshero...

Here's an article for our students! I remember when the WWW, hypertext links, + browsers were new, but to my students it's always been there...The article tells of the web's origins in context w/ the era of Big Tech's AI. That context is urgent for us all just now. web.archive.org/web/20251001...

Tim Berners-Lee Invented the World Wide Web. Now He Wants to Save It

In 1989, Sir Tim revolutionized the online world. Today, in the era of misinformation, addictive algorithms, and extractive monopolies, he thinks he can do it again.

Our closing keynote for #TEI2025 is @juliaflanders.bsky.social , who speaks earnestly of TEI’s ongoing relevance in an ethical formulation of our technologies and data structures.

💻The #EpiDoc maintainers will be hosting a monthly online drop-in session (1 hour per month). 📨 Please feel free to come with questions, encoding difficulties, or just to listen in on the conversation. 📅The next session is Wednesday, October 22: 17:00 BST = 18:00 CEST = 19:00 EEST = 12:00 EDT

Text Encoding is an ongoing Initiative and our annual conference is for all of us who care about “yesterday’s information tomorrow.”—now including born-digital media! Join us as a member! And come to the 2026 TEI Conference in Vancouver! #TEI @teiconsortium.bsky.social @joeytakeda.bsky.social

At #TEI2025 the opening keynote Jadwiga Kita-Huber emphasizes the need for universities in Poland to recognize digital scholarly editions as research for the faculty and scholarly community! This is serious research—and this needs to be respected!

Here, @djakacki.bsky.social and I collaborate in a big thank you statement to the hosts and supporters of #digitalhumanities at @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social from the @teiconsortium.bsky.social . We love being here in Kraków for TEI 2025!

We are so excited to be presenting shortly at #dh2025 on making a small explainable AI model “DigitAI” w/ our knowledge graph made from the #TEI Guidelines, and the declarative power of XSLT 3 (and 4) in work like this! Here are our slides! 1. bit.ly/digitai-dh25 2. bit.ly/xslt-2025

DIGIT AI for Localized TEI/XML Assistance

A presentation about a small explainable AI project to fine-tune a language model with a graph RAG built with the TEI Guidelines.

Delighted to be learning from Javier Cha (opening keynote at #DH2025) about the RAG modeling we’re exploring now! I love how he tracks the progress from Cytoscape network viz to neo4j graph modeling in small systems for humanities data!

Excited to learn the latest about Voyant/Spyral the #dh2025 workshops!

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Right now, I would implore everyone to start generally thinking about readiness and situational awareness in major cities. Link up with neighbors. Who are your trusteds? If you travel-- what is your plan for international travel/return to the states?

The PS1 startup sound as a lesbian@janus.bsky.social · last yr.

as things heat up in the streets, it’s really important to turn up with people you trust and *have a plan* the plan cannot be to just wave signs around and then go home, or to have a few people get arrested for nothing. it’s not enough to just throw yourself into the gears blindly without strategy.
