The @internetarchive today posted its 130-page "Vanishing Culture" report, which highlights the "fragility of our digital landscape" and the importance of "empowering public-serving libraries and archives."
I contributed a short article on my Kirschen research, which you can read on page 117. It's an honor to be included with folks like Jordan Mechner and Jason Scott.

Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”
Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.

I didn't take enough photos of interesting things being presented today but Ubuntu phone and #UBports has a special place in my heart. I was involved in the phone project and, together with the canonical certification team, shipped a complex testing app on this platform. It is amazing to see it alive and kicking in 2024 at the #UbuntuSummit.
@CalcProgrammer1 What controller is this? This looks awesome
Steam Phone is real. Finally got the controller working! #postmarketOS #steam #oneplus #gaming #linuxmobile #mobilelinux
