I think that the #openweb and #privacy are orthogonal. If #InformationWantsToBeFree then why are you using #cryptography?

They are both good things, but you can't be doing them both at the same time.

#cypherpunk #indieweb #opensource

I--for one--think it's good that #AI is trained on copyrighted works. I want to use an #LLM that has read ALL the books, not just English ones, not just free ones.

Preserving Government Information
Past, Present, and Future

by James A. Jacobs and James R. Jacobs

The book examines how preservation practices of the past affect the preservation of digitally published government information today, analyzes publishing and preservation data to characterize the current gaps in preservation, and looks to the future by charting a path to a distributed Digital Preservation Infrastructure for government information.

The book addresses technical issues without unnecessarily technical jargon. It is designed to be used by LIS students, front-line librarians and archivists, managers of libraries and archives, government workers who publish and preserve government information, and policy makers who design laws and regulations that affect the production, dissemination and preservation of government information.

The powers that be have always wanted control of the information flow. Don't give it to them.

Let’s remember that fighting injustice is hard, but it’s worth it. We can’t give up, despite the steep cost we may bear.
