Listening to an Internet Archive podcast and the last episode informed me of this initiative for libraries and memory institutions to endorse this set of four rights as policy guidelines: https://ourfuturememory.org/#rights

It bugs me to see "controlled" access in the phrasing, as I tend to look for words I fear can be used to justify more finance-capitalist exploitation (e.g., DRM), but I hope for the best, as much as I can.

Es gibt eine neue Folge des „The Future is Open Science“ Podcasts. Zu Gast sind Prof. Dr. Diethard Tautz und Prof. Dr. Konrad Förstner. Sie sprechen über neue Wege zur Finanzierung des wissenschaftlichen Publikationswesens und ihr @leopoldina Papier zu Diamond Open Access: https://podcast.zbw.eu/fos/2025/07/21/das-leopoldina-papier-zu-diamond-open-access

Have you ever felt the world around you is feeling kind of absurd in some peculiar aspect but were never able quite to articulate this creepy feeling? Yep, me too.

LLMs can help bring that feeling to life, even if you're not a Shakespeare.

It may not be literature, but it sure as hell beats anything I would ever be capable of writing and it is my own idea:

Martin Fenner ( @mfenner) has been on a mission to capture and preserve science blogs at Rogue Scholar.
https://rogue-scholar.org/

I'm very happy to announce that he's now captured my old blog, 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨 -- more than 16.3k posts, 2002-2010.
https://rogue-scholar.org/communities/oan/records

Rogue Scholar gives each post a DOI, supports boolean searching, and preserves everything through the Internet Archive Archive-It service.

Starting now, when I need to search for one of my old blog posts, I'll use this copy.

Recommended, not just for my old blog but for all the other blogs he's captured.

@UlrikeHahn it's time to step out from predatory editors anyways... scientific publications should be profoundly reformed and transformed in (diamond) #OpenAccess journals

#AI tools seem to be generating a large swath of low-quality, formulaic biomedical articles drawn from #OpenAccess biomedical databases. For example, since the rise of #LLMs about three years ago, the number of new biomedical articles is about 5k larger than previous moving average would have predicted. The researchers who noticed this trend argue for the "adoption of controlled data-access mechanisms" -- that is, pulling back from #OpenData.

* Summary (in Nature)

PS: The conclusion doesn't follow from the premises. This is like arguing that we should restrict clean air, clean air, and crowbars because criminals take advantage of them to commit crimes.

We're losing #OpenAccess to #weather #data on the #NOAA web site. But #HamRadio operators can still access it directly from the #satellites. They can even decrypt most of it with a new #OpenSource decoder. Here's how.

PS: Very grateful to geeks.

This looks like it will be useful: @coar_repositories recently announced its International Repository Directory. It has all kinds of information about #OpenAccess repositories at institutions around the world. https://coar-repositories.org/news-updates/coar-launches-the-international-repository-directory/
