Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Allow me to connect some dots for you:
Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

Just a reminder that if computing companies really wanted, they could shift AI training/inference - or any computing, really to 100% renewable.
AI training should be run exclusively on sunny/windy days IMO www.spglobal.com/market-intel...

Turned out to be 17 terabytes of uploaded Internet Archive-scanned books to the Internet Archive. We already had them!
I am so inclined to make some sort of metaphorical reference to this,. but it is its own metaphor:
Please do not upload books scanned by the Internet Archive to the Internet Archive.
A surprising number of people are doing this! You're literally wasting hardware and money at the joint!

Did anyone ever write a little memento/recognition of room-like user interfaces? In my head it‘s nice, interactive, and very fun. Like a videogame where you switch between worlds.
Microsoft Bob and Magic Cap are the most popular, but there is a long tail of those in other shells and videogames.

Aah the joys of having one unread message and no access to my messages because the U.K. insists on being a bafflingly authoritarian nanny state where parents and guardians can just hand their kids unfettered unmonitored access to the internet and check out of their lives.

@sofahq.social hello. I was wondering if there is plans for a browser-based app? I know databases are expensive… but…pretty please?
Or a linux server version to let ppl host their own db
