Yes, I know but the reason they did take on the publishers was to fill the void of the closed libraries, who had books (and licences) but could not lend them as they were not open... I looked at the appreciation page of the emergency librar

Just to clarify... it was less Hardy_Potter.epub and more textbooks and stuff for parents s who had to home school their children while losing their jobs and income... and public libraries closed, publishers not... supporting... any digital

Relation to libraries and archives is always an interesting metric for a political system. Free access to archives was one of the demands of the french revolution and for good reason. It is also the reason, why in theory national libraries

Just fire up your tinytinyrss server and os/mobile clients and you are good. RSS is still going strong... https://tt-rss.org/ You can also create feeds from sources that do not provide them, e.g. http://fetc

Great to see people sharing stuff that we all might never see again otherwise... the digital black hole is real and individuals are those doing the archiving! Respect :)

I really like Jeff's posts - he is one of the very few who did stuff and stuck to it before the big platforms supported indie devs... remastering is an art in itself as we see and hear daily - from fashion, films and music to games...

There is a strong history of volunteer disaster relief organisations in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, from local Red Cross, Alpine and Automobile Clubs to voluntary fire brigades. Interesting and a bit different than the us def of NGO,

This is a great project and the most fun I had since playing around with ink as a basis - compliments and can't wait to see how it will develop :)

A treaty would be great... or a lot of school projects on how to down low orbit sats... that would make such a treaty more likely :P

I know, I know :) it was more as a reference on how the pendulum swings in this field as well... But even there: Luhmann's "Zettelkasten" externalises the main data processing effort back to the users conscious and unconsciou

We outsourced generation of high quality training data, resulting in Wikipedia being one of the few (and quite messy) people can play around with... garbage in, garbage out. And to be fair, most people who lovingly curated special knowledge

It is not that the semantic community was not warned - philosophers, linguists, archivists, librarians, historians, we talked and talked to our IT counterparts but could not get through - too much love for technology, not enough study of hu
