@ddrake@mathstodon.xyzJust learned a cool word: illfare.
There's "welfare", right? So it makes sense to have "illfare".
I learned about this from the preface to J. A. Hobson's book "Work and Welfare": https://archive.org/details/workwealthhumanv0…

The web shutting out the Wayback Machine is bad. But I'd turn this around: If someone wants to move their website into the darknet, so be it. But I won't link to thin…
@kubikpixel@chaos.socialHier mal eine positive Nachricht über Online-Archive aus der Schweiz aber auch wider KI:
(Der Begriff KI ist eine breit gefächerte Formulation für Automatisierung)
«Internet Archive erhält Standort in der Schweiz:
Internet Archive Switzerland hat am 5. Mai 2026 seine operative Arbeit aufgenommen. Die Stiftung will Schweizer Inhalte sichern, KI-Modelle archivieren und gefährdeten Dokumenten einen digitalen Zufluchtsort bieten.»

Archivists are badass.
@brian_gettler@mas.toThe "Handbook of Upper Canadian Chronology" is simultaneously the most boringly titled book - though accurate, it's a super boring book - and one of the most useful for my current project. It's basically just a list of officeholders, regulations, laws, geographical divisions, etc., etc. But gloriously helpful. Thank you to my forebear, the historian Frederick H. Armstrong, for making the lives of the handful of us who work on early 19th-century Ontario so much easier.

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.orgClaude Code is good at doing research!
In this case helping find the disposition of 126,000 digitized US Supreme Court dockets (cert denied or full opinion), and then reporting why in a archive.org review (using like a wikipedia discussion).
This took real hand-holding and QA to be sure, but it is super helpful. Looked at court listener, the supreme court site (and the old one via the wayback machine!), the Caselaw Access Project at harvard. So good.

@zachleat@zachleat.comI really like Google Search’s stated mission to “organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful” but I’m curious what organizations do y’all think are most ideally invested in that mission?
Wikipedia seems like an obvious one. Internet Archive seems like another. Any others?
