»Belgisches Gericht ordnet Sperre der Open Library des Internet Archive an:
Ein Brüsseler Gericht hat eine sehr breite Anordnung für Websperren erlassen. Sie richtet sich gegen die Open Library sowie Schattenbibliotheken wie Z-Library«
Archiv ist, egal in welcher techn. Form, wichtig und hat nichts mit Datenklau zu tun. Dies wird leider aber vom Kommerz öfters als solches angesehen.

"The Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age" was published around 10 years ago. Very interesting, how things have changed since then. TDM for research is still in its infancy, and reuse in the context of #ai has caused a backlash against most of the 6 principles of the Declaration. Tellingly, the Declaration is only accessible via the internet archive:

Reddit says that it has caught AI companies scraping its data from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine,
-- and it’s going to start blocking the Internet Archive from indexing the vast majority of Reddit.
The Wayback Machine will no longer be able to crawl post detail pages, comments, or profiles;
instead, it will only be able to index the Reddit.com homepage,
which effectively means Internet Archive will only be able to archive insights into which news headlines …

I was having this weird issue with Chrome/Linux on some websites where the 'i'-s were missing 😄 The characters were there, they just didn't show up. With the Internet Archive website I narrowed it down to the Helvetica.otf font. I had installed Helvetica.ttf too, but it works fine with it. Curiously, there was no problem with Firefox.

Will AI rescue cultural heritage or replace it? In this IEEE video, learn how LLMs act as a compression algorithm for the Internet, enabling new forms of access while simultaneously threatening to replace ground truth with convincing facsimiles.
I also explain why mechanistic analogies, unlike animate metaphors like a child or parrot, can help us tune AI to get optimal results.
At the moment I often have to think of Eley's book, that it was not the bourgeoisie that realized what is currently held up as abstract principles, but a left that had to organize itself against the impositions of capitalist society.

In 2011, I posted to our forums to explain "Why not Windows?" Our goal is not to make the most money; it's to make the best software that we can make. There are other successful platforms, but I don' t think our software would be better on any of them.
Since 2011 we've moved to different forums and the hardware hosting our archived forums died. Maybe someday I'll revive it from backups, but in the meantime it's nice that the Internet Archive still has a co…

Der Dollar steht, ähem, günstig, eine Gute Gelegenheit™ mal wieder an das Internet Archive zu spenden, ist es nicht?
Die haben ja in letzter viel gespeichert, was von US-Regierungsseiten gelöscht wurde. Brauchen also Geld für zwei, drei neue Festplatten.
Ja, ich wünschte, sie würden sich internationalisieren. Damit die Daten nicht nur in den USA liegen. Damit wir eine Spendenquittung für's Finanzamt bekommen könnten. Aber ist wie es ist.

I recently bought a fan. You know, because it's hot.
I really wanted something decent, so I spent 3 hours researching the market, tracking down whitelabel products and their resellers, checking brand websites and "data sheets". I queried trade registers to find out from where and for how long they have been operating and which brands belong to them. I also used the internet archive to trace supplier changes over time.
This is completely normal, right?
