@AngelaScholder - good on you for getting the internet fixed at your friend's place. Boy do we know the feeling of - 'oh this should be a simple fix...' and then hours later...

I have subscribed you to the mailing list - we should be sending something out towards the end of the month - hope you find it interesting.

Website has fallen down - hopefully it will come back up soon. 🤞

@AngelaScholder -

Sorry for the hassle. If you send us an email office@internetarchive.eu we can add you manually.

We are not using Google on purpose. It's from MailPoet which is more European GDPR friendly. But as of now, the website fell down - so instead of going to sleep, I have to investigate. I'm tired and it's been a long day.

@AngelaScholder - sorry, but I am very confused by your complaint - we would like people to read the newsletter. Why would a bot sign up? And why are you yelling at us? This isn't the bad place. 😆

@arbeitstitel @can 🥳

@arbeitstitel @can - oh no! It should be up and running. Try now?

@Kalytis @internetarchive not planning on it, no. It's me typing this out and smiling. :)

@mro - thank you so much for your generosity of spirit. We are working on things in the background and we will set up to take donations once we have everything in place.

@Transflux working on it! I promise we will let you know when it's available.

Missed out on @publicspaces or just want to rewatch the panel? No worries - we have you covered! From preserving forgotten knowledge to regional language models and LLMs on renewable power, the PublicSpaces panel on “AI for the Public Good” shared grounded, hopeful examples of how AI can do good. At the “AI for Public Good” panel, we asked: What does it look like when AI actually serves people?

Thank you to Juurd Eijsvoogel and @nrc_nl for this interview about the @internetarchive with
@brewsterkahle "In history, libraries usually have not ended well. They are often destroyed by powerful institutions. It used to be the church and the state, now it's governments and companies."
