Sometimes, when working on a larger piece, I pause for a bit and just make something else, like a random bead, pendant, or sculpture. This is a large, thick pendant bead with a core of fire engine red opaque glass, and marbling in other opaque colors, including teal, orange, grey, beige and yellow. I've mounted it on brass wire, before suspending it from a faux leather cord. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #glasspendant #studioglass #artyoucanwear #athensohio

Apparently having opinions on Trump on a phone while crossing the border can also be considered terrorism and grounds for denial of entry.
"a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy" equals messages "that express hatred towards Trump and can be qualified as terrorism". His professional and personal equipment was confiscated and he was sent back to Europe the following day.
Everything except obedience and subservience is terrorism. lemonde.fr/en/international/ar…

French researcher denied entry to US for 'expressing personal opinion' on Trump policies

France's research minister expressed 'concern' on Wednesday at this decision by the US authorities. The researcher underwent a random check on arrival, before his computer and phone were searched, a source said.

I built this #RaspberryPi based 7-inch #diy #tablet a while back and it's been my daily #linux #mobile #computer since. It's the perfect size for reading websites and e-books and lasts about 7 hours on a 10,000mAh powerbank. It's very responsive to touch and works with a standard install of RPi OS, no setup or modifications needed. The build required making custom cables, a PWM injector for controlling backlight brightness, and the 3d printed case… tobykurien.com/post-1742642225

Question re #SafeguardingResearch
We encounter 'web applications' that our current method of archiving don't preserve.
Things like imls.gov/imls-dashboard
(we already got the raw data & the website archived)

We are mostly using github.com/openzim/zimit to create WARC files and combining them into a single ZIM.
(This uses the browsertrix crawler)

Any ideas on how to archive not just the content, but also the functionality of such applications?

Excellent and detailed FT piece this week on the £100,000 "childcare trap".

If someone earns £99,999 and claims the Governments childcare subsidies, then a £1 pay rise can *cost them* £20,000.

They don't get back to where they were until their gross wages reach £145k.

So in this situation it's not rational for someone just under £100k to accept a pay rise/promotion, work more hours, take on more clients etc, unless it puts them well clear of £100k

I know things are bad on the open web…but it could get even worse. Imagine any of these scenarios:

1. What if the Internet Archive got shut down after all those lawsuits. Ref: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

2. What if Google suddenly stopped high-ranking Wikipedia links. Ref: mastodon.social/@ricmac/114205…

3. What if the next generation of internet users doesn’t read and so short looping videos *completely* take over. Ref: overcast.fm/+AA1Ledu9mbc

Scary times. All we can is continue to support #openweb.

@wdenton@cosocial.ca That Wikipedia page is brand new!? I must admit I didn’t know who he was, so googled him after seeing @tante@tldr.nettime.org’s post…the second link was the Wikipedia page.

I’ve also been pondering this: it’s really fecking difficult these days to get linked to by other websites. Back when I started an unknown blog called ReadWriteWeb in 2003, I was able to grow ‘domain authority’ via backlinks and trackbacks from other blogs (some more well known). But since blogging has all but disappeared now, and people ‘comment’ on things via social media, nobody actually links back to you anymore. Which means hard to grow PageRank etc. Anyway, yet another open web challenge.
