| schestowitz | True, but I think physically scanning all of the books took things up a notch. But at least now there seem to be arrangements in place for authors to get paid or people to check out virtual copies of books from e-libraries (often DRM, of course). Copyright lasts far too long. | Feb 17 01:11 |

| schestowitz | This reminds me we need offsite backups. Have not done any in a while due to failing external disks here, then my failing PC and migration. I still need to back up the new machine... have made no backup since it was set up 1.5 weeks ago. | Feb 17 01:50 |

| schestowitz | This will probably take most of this year. What you will notice is that this does not explicitly state a tie-in with the ActivityPub network. This is intentional, because the main goal of all the above demos are to prove more foundational concepts before they are all fully integrated. I think we'll see the full integration and it coming together with the existing fediverse beginning in early 2021. | Feb 17 03:08 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, that's a lot of stuff ahead. I haven't even mentioned my involvement in Libre Lounge, which I've been on hiatus from due to a health issue that has made recording difficult, and from being busy trying to deliver on these foundations, but I expect to be coming back to LL shortly. | Feb 17 03:08 |
