@clacke @musicman All it would take to lose almost everything digital is a prolonged global power outage.

We know people from 1000s of years ago existed and they didn't have the records we have now. Why do you think no one will know about us?
-
... and that's even without format obsolescence ... there are files from just a few years ago that have no working reader software. We suppose that future societies will happen to have tape and optical drive readers, but that is unlikely.

I think my thesis paper at the School of Information and Library Science is pretty well archived.
I've been in a number newspapers. I feel like Newspapers get archived pretty well.
I really doubt there won't be a record of my existence. That doesn't mean anyone will care. It also doesn't mean anyone will be able to put the newspapers from multiple states together into a single picture.

Arrival was delayed because department of public safety declared an alert and shut down the tram to my terminal. Thirteen passengers were on the tram and had to get flights rescheduled. Four of us made it onto the two hours later flight. The rest are catching a flight tomorrow.

It's been a while since I opened #Manyverse, a #SecureScuttleButt client. Seems like BOTS have discovered it.

Thinking about two of my sons working 16 hours per day makes me tired. I know they learned it from me, but try not to do that anymore after $EMPLOYER took back thousands of dollars of overtime almost a year after I'd worked the time, saying that under the law that authorized the work, only a certain amount of overtime per week was allowed to be paid.
Nope, not working those hours. You're not going to get me again.

When I was in high school, everyone thought the math courses would be the things we never used. However, even though there are some parts I've never used in real life, I have used things covered in my high school and college math classes in just about every job I've ever had, and some parts have been used multiple times per day. I don't mean to dog history, because that's impor…

Got a strange message on your #Samsung phone and feeling paranoid? Every proprietary smartphone OS has backdoors the manufacturer can use to spy on everything you do. Choose one that respects your #privacy and #freedom instead. https://u.fsf.org/gguide #findmymobile

@mangeurdenuage I've seen people discussing the Twitter conversation that started this. No, math is not biased. Math is a way of thinking rigorously about the universe and the way various things behave. It abstracts away superfluous details in order to enable clarity. (It does extend this to model special universes that may or may not actually exist.) That someone could argue…

Honestly, I think "2 + 2 = 5 if you're non-white" would be called racism if not for the fact that most of the proponents are Black.

Knowing how much Brandon likes to analyze data, he's probably already looked at scraping this into a spreadsheet or Jupyter notebook. I should ask him to describe how to set this up and do this myself.

Uh, I thought the insecure-but-required #CalJobs site had shown me something worthwhile. $100K+/year, an hour's drive away. Then I looked closer: eight years of "information security" experience. If you've worked in this field, unless you're totally braindead, you have done some security stuff, but I don't think their client would count it as tech security experience.

@mangeurdenuage @sim I've thought about this for years. You'd have to rip and replace almost the entire curriculum ... and the way schools are organized ... even the practice of having special sites for school, separated from the real world. It would be very expensive and require personal time investments from people in area businesses as well as students, parents, and teacher…

@sl Again? Didn't they just have an outage in the past week?
Why are all the corps moving to O365 if it is unreliable? (I know, PHBs and CIOs have a reflex that makes them buy any product of service that Microsoft offers.)
-
@mangeurdenuage @sl I guarantee you, someone high up in $EMPLOYER called someone in HQ-IT management today and asked why Microsoft's services are falling over so often when the previous internally-hosted services were a lot more reliable. It's like the way a big chunk of web sites go down every time there's a power outage in Northern Virginia (because that's where Amazon's US-E…

#sonOne wasn’t available for #videochat when I called today, but I know he’s been working 16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since June, so it is okay. I’m expecting to see him in person soon. I should also see #GD1 and #GD2. I really miss seeing them in video each week.

All this talk of Sega #Genesis games almost makes me want to dig out the Genesis imitator that I bought a few years back. I bought it and the one game I missed from those days (Aladdin) and played every evening until I changed hotels and couldn't connect it to the TV, then I shipped it home and haven't done much with it since then.

@geniusmusing Sonic was fun. My friends did not have Toejam and Earl, so I haven't ever played it.
