Interesting report on an old #archival preservation technique and its challenge for #digitization.
A literal 'Spürnase' is helpful: "a faint scent of vanilla is present, a sign that the paper itself has begun to break down" 👃

The best thing about blogging is that I take things out of my head, which is full, and put them somewhere else.
The second best thing about blogging is that I meet more interesting people when I do it.

«"Terms of Service; Didn't Read" (kurz: ToS;DR) ist ein Projekt, das im Juni 2012 gestartet wurde, um die "größte Lüge im Internet" zu bekämpfen: fast niemand liest wirklich die Nutzungsbedingungen, denen wir ständig zustimmen.»
P.S. Für mich pers. ein guter Einstieg um die Privatsphäre der Menschen im Internet und deren Nutzung zu erörtern, ist aber mMn nur erst der Anfang.

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

This situation actually reminds me a bit of the dotcom bubble collapse in the late '90s / early '00s, with slight differences.
Declining stocks & VC led to a bunch of startups initially being unable to obtain additional funding. To make matters worse, ad demand started falling, leading to lower revenues for ad-based internet services.
In this case, a decline of ad demand is trailing dotcom revenue shortages. I suspect currency & stock weakness & a slowing econ…

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.
