On 6 June 1995, the Vatican Library, among the world's oldest collections, began to digitize and added to the internet. VATVIPs took years to scan 1.5 million pgs across tens of thousands of secular, historical, and religious documentation. The collection is ~ 43 petabytes. Old & interesting! https://digi.vatlib.it/

An enriched read on how the Stack enables platform sovereignty, with deep politico-economic ideological roots, making modern, generalized self-management practices difficult and often misrepresented. makingandbreaking.org/article/self...

"I read a comment on one of your posts that said, “this helps me realize that if I just put my phone away for a while, a lot of stuff feels exactly the same way it did 20 years ago.” There’s a longing for a time when going online felt like an option or a destination, now it's this ambient thing that everyone is a part of." good convo between molly soda and tvwishes about flickr and other things https://mollysoda.substack.com/p/interview-tvwishes

here is an article i've found useful documenting much of what many of us already know. i would urge people to read and share it. much of what's happening is not new & has very large implications for privacy & 'being.' https://thebeckysharp.medium.com/ai-cant-stop-the-cult-recruiting-women-in-its-blind-spots-dd9a9c2d0aa0

"the market dynamics of social media have affected absolutely every corner of the internet and, therefore, “real life” [...] Now all the damned Internet works as a social media platform, and this will shape people’s perception of the world. Just like Marshall McLuhan said: "We shape our tools and then our tools shape us." this piece reminded me of a convo i had last week with someone thru my homepage. they said they wanted to leave the main web and only be on the small internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my response was that i didn't think that was possible bc the world is so entangled with the big internet these days. turning away and leaving the tools to bad ppl won't prevent the effects they will have on everyone irl. good ppl need to show good alternative uses for the tools https://www.animanoir.xyz/blog/2024/the-death-state-of-the-internet/

like many things, i'm slow to find or engage with. finding tilde town "townies" seems like a real fun, eclectic group. i love this design representation of each account in dots, brightness correlated to recent activity! found interesting music, prose, all sorts of things there! https://tilde.town/
