The She/They Intro to Soldering event is starting momentarily. If you missed it, follow us on Eventbrite for the most up-to-date workshop schedule.

Wednesday, August 20th a member is holding another plant swap social. Come socialize and talk plant stories at 5pm. Bring a plant (optional) or take a plant home. RSVP

Next week, Monday, we'll have our next Open Project Night at 5:30pm. Come start a new project, work on an old project, or chat about your current projects. If you're a prospective member, this is a great time to visit Double Union and ask all your questions about DU or about our application process. RSVP at https://no-ufo-left-behind.eventbrite.com

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

If a user would like to disable all local inference features, they can toggle the browser.ml.enable preference in about:config

i.e., also set this preference to 'false' if you would like to remove all machine learning features.

bulbul doing their talk ^ and us together selfies

“Bad for Health” Acrylic and gouache on Rives BFK 11″ x 14″

Embroidered Zoetrope

Project by Elliot Schultz creates physical animations with textiles and a turntable:

This project encourages viewers to watch and engage with animation physically. Discs were created with animated sequences embroidered onto their surface. They have been designed to be played on standard turntables and their shape and size is inherited from 10" vinyl records. The animation is activated when a strobe light illuminates the discs in sync with the embroidered frames of animation.

This work was completed for my degree project at the ANU School of Art in 2013.
