Pedra🪨Ferro<p>This is for Everyone by Tim Berners-Lee is a historical review of his invention, the Web! Its highly recommended for anyone who grew up after 2010s and only knows Internet through smart devices, apps and social media platforms. Yet, it stays at the surface how to tackle sociopolitical problems brought by social media, big tech and changes to further automation of everything. A technical standard called Solid protocol is proposed to promote the control of individuals' data.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

Heather Evans<p>I’ve just ordered my first Christmas present, a book for my youngest granddaughter. She is 7 &amp; has struggled to learn at school &amp; was diagnosed with ADHD this year. She is now on medication &amp; can focus better &amp; is starting to pick up, but finds reading hard. I’ve bought her a personalised storybook called The Tree, The Key &amp; Me, I got to read it &amp; it’s full of adventures that she has with a friendly bear. I think (hope)she’ll love it &amp; will help with her reading. I loved it anyway &amp; even though it was a little expensive, if it sparks something, it will be money well spent. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Grandaughter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Grandaughter</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Book</span></a></p>

Karsten Schmidt<p>Algorithmic aesthetics: Computer models for criticism and design in the arts<br>(George Stiny, James Gips, 1978)</p><p>"[...]aesthetics is concerned with the philosophy of criticism and design, with the foundations of criticism and design, with questions arising from criticism and design. This conception of aesthetics is similar, in many respects, to Beardsley's conception of aesthetics as "metacriticism." However, Beardsley conceives aesthetics to be just the philosophy of criticism; we conceive aesthetics to be the philosophy of both criticism and design.
