The Vanishing Culture report arrives today at a critical moment: While Internet Archive recovers from a cyberattack, it’s a reminder of how fragile our access to knowledge can be. Preserving culture & history requires resilience—and collective action.

The yellow counties have more people than the blue counties combined. (I would have used a different color.)
“Just 4.5% of U.S. counties contain 50% of the population.” It’s another reason why the EC broken.

I'm hearing murmurings that 60,000+ have cancelled their WaPo subscription.
I genuinely and deeply hope 60,000+ also reallocate those resources into independent media, academics, and activists doing the hard work of holding the powerful accountable.
Please make that investment.

* when a sports reporter leaves MediaCompany, for whatever reason, follows added during their tenure at MediaCompany continue to follow both @sports@MediaCompany.foo, *and* @journalist@MyServer.foo
* journalists can identify themselves with a MediaCompany, while still moving between employers without losing their audience
* audience members can decide whether they trust particular journalists, or the editors of this or that MediaCompany, and choose who to continue following on that basis

> I'd go for it, but publishers would hate it. While they go to lengths to promote the fact that journalist x or y works for them... they don't want to create the impression that the journalist is a brand in his or her own right
More evidence to support what a wise man recently told me;
> most media companies are run by the wrong people and have been for 30 or 40 years now. They have the wrong boards and the wrong senior management.

Since WaPo joined the LA Times in a complete dereliction of journalistic duty in cowardly deciding to endorse no one, I'm sharing the #PhiladelphiaInquirer's #KamalaHarris endorsement.
My hometown Inky is owned not by Convicted Felon™️-loving billionaire techbros, but rather by the nonprofit Lenfest Center for Journalism. (And an Inky sub gets you the best WaPo et al stories anyway.)
Everyone #vote & #GOTV! LFGooo

POLLS DON’T MATTER — VOTES DO!
Polling is used as strategy to influence voters & doesn’t indicate the final outcome. IGNORE THE POLLS.
(All polling in 2016 gave HRC the win and she lost only in the EC.)
WE KNOW the MAGA base will show up & vote for Fucko, as will billionaires & other fat-cats who want another tax cut.
🔷WE CAN AFFECT THE ELECTION WITH A TSUNAMI TURNOUT!
🔷Overall turnout in a General Election has not been greater than 67% in over 100 years. WE MUST DO BETTER THIS YEAR!
🔷HELP GET OUT THE VOTE!

What most people mean when they say "Linux is hard" is actually: "Linux is different to what I'm used to".

> the rest of us don’t though
100%. Also, anyone who says something like ...
> if you are swayed by such low effort crap advertising you deserve the government you vote for
... is much more swayed by said crap than those who understand social psychology. Enough to realise we're *all* vulnerable to these kinds of propaganda tricks. Especially when we can't see that the same money is funding the opposite message to target others.
Big ups to 404 for showing us.
Trump had twenty buses bring his supporters from their cars to his rally in the California desert.
He only had two buses available to take them back after he was done channeling Hitler.

Why didn't the fucking cat rotate their leaked API keys?
Also: correct me if I'm wrong, but stuff from their GitLab getting leaked is new information. Previously, news outlets only reported about stolen user credentials.
> These emails come after BleepingComputer repeatedly tried to warn the Internet Archive that their source code was stolen through a GitLab authentication token that was exposed online for almost two years.

Unknown parent • • •@zdl @juergen_hubert This. With overreaching Copyright laws and DRM everywhere (even fucking books!) it's more important than ever to free those pieces of culture and store them safely.
It's not a far fetch to assume the internet archive will lose its DMCA excemption once the next "check" is due. Download and save everything, preferably via their torrents.
