@lindner @c_lindner Thanks everyone for making this my most popular tweet! Can someone explain what this AfD oaf is saying? Google Translate doesn't have a "white supremacy" setting...

Guess I need to learn some German insults. (Or aggressively block)
@vonneudeck @haekelschwein Thank you! Being mistaken for a @c_lindner is okay. Where else would I see this:

Maybe someone can give me a German language joke I can use to respond to mistaken identity? Maybe a Stilblüten ????
I just wish I got mistaken for @patricklindner instead. Volksmusik is better than Neoliberal Politics!
Everything I know about German Politics comes from mistaken rage mentions for @c_lindner
Sadly it appears that the centrists once again prefer fascists to leftists. Also see "The Iron Law of Institutions"

@TheCurrent @twinkiejiggles Would love to hear Mr. Blue Sky by ELO. The perfect sunshiney song. It's from Paul in Oakland remembering Julie tonight.
She originally requested it July 26, 2014 from @thewombatt

Thank you @BillDeVille for the heartfelt dedication of my request this morning on United States of #Americana on @TheCurrent
And thank you to Frank Randall of the Sycamores for this song and his kindness.

My wife Julie passed away from breast cancer last month. Today I published her obituary in the Star Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, the Rochester Post Bulletin and at https://
We knew right away that we completed each other and fell deeper in love for 27 years. She meant everything to me.
Thank you for bearing witness to Julie’s life, for the condolences and for honoring Julie's memory.

@groby this @supermicro_SMCI mini-tower is one of the best investments I've ever made. ~35W idle power draw, 4 hot swap bays, 8 Xeon-D cores. Add a NAS distro like UNRAID or OpenMediaVault and you're GTG

Game Services and Digital Preservation
2 min read
I think it's time for a Legal Deposit scheme for Games.
- Game publishers would put their games in Escrow when they publish.
- Game Services could publish a spec on how to interpret the game contents.
- 'Orphan' games would actually be preserved.- Users that purchased the Game would then be entitled to a copy of the escrowed item, plus the design on how to run them.
This, combined with an export of user-generated data would allow for usability after Stadia or the Game Publisher sunsets the service/game.
And to be honest I'd love to see this extended to all Online "Stores" that don't let you export usable contents.
Barring that Game Services could enter a Ulysses Pact with users if they are serious about the long-haul..
For each purchase a user makes put 10x in a locked escrow fund. When the service cancels that money can be used to migrate the games to a new provider or payout back the user.
- If a Game Service gets few users it's not a lot of money to exit and actually would increase satisfaction.
- If a Game Service does get popular then there's an explicit feedback loop that reinforces the durability of the system and alignment of interests.
Evernote announced something like this, but never really followed through. A small company called Forever actually does have a preservation fund that is purpose driven.
@Greg I don't see anything online -- there are some links to papers on the 2018 site https://

@Albatross Wendy Jedelicka @wjedlicka did the Gopher T-shirt art and design. There was some talk of doing a reissue a while back.
