As with all my online accounts:

• Visit a name generator website.
• Find one that doesn’t suck.
• Check if it’s available.
• Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

As someone once said about director’s cuts with films: they’re a double-dip scam.

If the cinema and home media releases were the same, they’re just trying to make you buy the same thing twice by pretending that this is what the director really wanted it to be. The distributor really likes your credit card.

Having said that, Taylor Swift has something like 28 versions of the same album out and her stans are going crazy for it, treating them like they’re Pokemon.

Whatever floats your boat. 🤷‍♂️ Don’t let this old dude yuck your yum.

This is, sadly, accurate. Telling someone to use an OS/platform that isn’t connected with a brand they recognise seems to send many people into a tailspin.

I’ll refrain from the obvious “They Live” cynicism…

I’d love to see DOI automating a copy of each entry to archive.org. This would improve the likelihood of them remaining available.

Sure, it would make grifters like Elsevier mad, but scientific knowledge worth a DOI entry shouldn’t be limited to a for-profit organisation.

Edit: Worded first para badly. I meant anything assigned a DOI ID, regardless of where the work is hosted.
