New-to-me, from High Country News: How community organizers are amplifying Oregon’s Black music history. “The online repository contains over 13,000 items from 180 sources. There’s music, of course — live recordings, out-of-circulation albums, unreleased demos — plus film, newsprint, posters, handbills and oral histories. This massive collection is the backbone of the archive, but it functions more like a seedbank than a museum, providing safekeeping for historical artifacts that are then brought to life in projects extending far beyond the website.” Ars Technica: Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links.
“In the course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger over a post that described how the Archive.today maintainer hid their identity behind several aliases.” TechCrunch: Google says its AI systems helped deter Play Store malware in 2025.
“In its latest Android app ecosystem safety report released on Thursday, Google said it prevented 1.75 million policy-violating apps from being published on Google Play in 2025, down from 2.36 million in 2024 and 2.28 million in 2023.” Odessa Journal: The board of directors of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Foundation has appointed its leadership and defined areas of work. “The Board of Directors of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Foundation (UCHF) held its first meeting, during which it appointed its leadership and outlined future areas of work, the Ministry of Culture reported.” ERR News: Estonia wants to give Waze and Google Maps direct access to traffic data.
“The government has submitted a bill to the Riigikogu to amend the Traffic Act, enabling traffic data to be sent directly to smartphone apps instead of being entered manually by users.” BBC: Tech firms will have 48 hours to remove abusive images under new law. “Tech platforms would have to remove intimate images which have been shared without consent within 48 hours, under a proposed UK law.
The government said tackling intimate image abuse should be treated with the same severity as child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and terrorist content.” The Register: UK.gov launches cyber ‘lockdown’ campaign as 80% of orgs still leave door open. “Officials today kicked off a public push urging companies to tighten their digital defenses, complete with familiar advice about basic controls and adopting the long-running Cyber Essentials scheme, after new data showed incidents remain routine and baseline protections are still patchy.” TechSpot: Etching the world’s smallest QR code in ceramic pushes data storage to the nanoscale.
“A team of researchers at TU Wien recently announced that they have ‘etched’ the smallest QR code ever on a ceramic film. Covering an area of just 1.98 square micrometers, the code is smaller than many bacteria and features pixels only 49 nanometers in size.” University of Oslo: Artificial intelligence makes fake news more credible. “…what are the linguistic features of fake news, and can fake news be uncovered on the basis of linguistic traits?
Linguist Silje Susanne Alvestad has examined this in the project ‘Fakespeak – the language of fake news’. She and her research colleagues have investigated the language of fake news in English, Russian and Norwegian.” Mission Local: The six-month S.F. photography class that’s still going, 35 years later. “The workshop at 105 Seventh St. has quietly taught photography to low-income residents, veterans, and housing-insecure San Franciscans since 1991, when it was sponsored by Tenants and Owners Development Corporation (TODCO) to give residents of South of Market single-room occupancy hotels a creative outlet during building renovations.
The workshop was only intended to last a few months. This year, it is preparing to mark its 35th anniversary.” Good afternoon, Internet… This newsletter is free but most of the things that go into making it aren’t!
