Cyberpunk LibrarianYa know... sometimes it's nice to pause just for a moment and remember that someone *made* technology. There are stories to be told and some of them are deeply human.

For as long as I have published my books, one of my overarching goals was to give credit to those who actually invented the hardware and software that we use. I have spent 10,000+ hours to create an accurate record of their work but I'm not complaining. The 'as-close-to-possible'

The petition is at https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN7346 and you can find out about the alliance at https://australasiandarkskyalliance.org
mhdInstead of 32 bits going straight into retro-computing (e.g. with Linux & Firefox ditching it), maybe we should keep it alive as some kind of "alternative mainstream", given the insane availability of hardware and the fact that it's both fast enough for most purposes and not that hard to backport anything but the most wasteful "modern" softwares. That's a "permacomputing" I could get behind, instead of the cold war computing cosplay.

> In other words, all of the threats described in this report have materialised. Every single one.

> In my 12-year career, I have never, ever seen anything like it.
JPIt makes me so mad when highly paid execs blame low level workers for systemic failures. How very dare you.
