SF-Based Internet Archive Is Now a Federal Depository Library. What Does That Mean? (www.kqed.org)

Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle said that while the nonprofit organization has always functioned as a library, this new designation makes it easier to work with the other federal depository libraries. That, he said, is a service to everyone.

“ I think there is a great deal of excitement to have an organization such as the Internet Archive, which has physical collections of materials, but is really known mostly for being accessible as part of the internet,” Kahle said. “And helping integrate these materials into things like Wikipedia, so that the whole internet ecosystem gets stronger as digital learners get closer access into the government materials.”

You... know the US government isn't a person, right?

"US says"

When you see a title like that, what do you assume?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 1 points 6 hours ago

Nothing. I read what the article below the title says, then I check it somewhere else for good measure.

You really don't need to take a hard stance every time you see two words somewhere. It is allowed to withhold judgement until you figure out what the hell you're looking at.

Typically, no. This term, however...

Well, it's just the one state so far, and it was blessed by a senator that Trump and crew habitually seem to bully, so maybe it's different for now?

From what I hear as an outsider it‘s a bunch of fucking losers for the most part. Feel free to correct me if I‘m wrong, though.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago

Sure, but "bunch" is the operative word here. People in government don't agree with each other, kinda by design.

In this particular case this is a thing any one member of Congress can do unilaterally and a democrat senator from California just decided to do it. That particular fucking loser probably doesn't agree with a bunch of the other fucking losers on a bunch of stuff, including this one.

You hit the nail on the head.
