For the last few days i was avoiding the online as much as i could on a suicidal episode, self isolating from the noise of the world. Yet paradoxically to some, the best thing to happen during this time and the main reason im back so soon was listening to almost nothing but cassettes from the NOISE-ARCH archive. tap in.

There is someone who has taken a lot of old films and used AI to colorize them badly and "boosted" the frame rate from 24 to 60fps and then uploaded this trash to the Internet Archive.
I hate this. Films shot in b&w have an aesthetic that is destroyed by colorizing them. Video games might look better with more frames per second but movies don't. We didn't accidentally settle on 24fps, it was trial and error. A film shot in 60fps looks bad. A movie that has been ar…

The fact that so many - including Wikipedia - rely on a shady website that (unsurprisingly?) is doing some really shady stuff recently shines a light on major shortcomings of newspaper websites: they want your data to share it with 900 "partners", are nevertheless full of ads and every redesign breaks deep links to their articles.
Like Napster/Limewire before, archive.today provides a service that solves an actual need of many Internet users.

Web archiving is troubled: The Internet Archive is under attack constantly, and archive.is/archive.today seems to be on the way towards turning itself and its users into personae non gratae on the web.
Is it now time to turn web archiving into a distributed affair where obtaining the snapshot happens while browsing, and produces a witness statement a la "at this point in time, I observed these responses to those requests", and storing/accessing those becomes decoupled from ob…

Does anyone ever feel nostalgia regarding PDAs? As a kid, I first got an old Palm and then a Pocket Loox 720 (with Windows Mobile 2003SE) as a hand-down from my dad.
I have very fond memories of browsing through the depths of the Internet trying to find some cool new program. Most notably though, there was a port of Android you could boot from a CF or SD card, and it was the coolest thing ever:

Mentre le maggiori piattaforme di streaming aumentano i prezzi, è stata messa su una “nuova” piattaforma, WikiFlix. Che rende disponibili e, cosa non scontata, facilmente ricercabili, oltre 4000 film di pubblico dominio
Il catalogo aggrega contenuti che provengono da diverse fonti, ma soprattutto: Wikimedia Commons, il mai abbastanza amato Internet Archive e YouTube, dotando il tutto di schede informative e rendendo possibile sia guardare i contenuti in streaming, sia scaricarli.

What LLMs and the Turing test¹ tell us: most of us not only are² stochastic parrots³ but are also fine with that – otherwise we would not happily use LLMs to produce all the output we communicate to others.
One could frame this as “insult to humanity” but I prefer to call it telling.
