@ChrisMayLA6

The problem with most of what #darzi proposes is that it is eminently sensible but profoundly unexciting - and offers little opportunity for #grift . #publichealth and #preventative measures work well but do not attract support from influential people - unlike #digitisation which tis seen as a 'magic bullet' and has been so for at least a quarter of a century ! The temptation will be to throw effort and money into #digitisation and pay lip service at best to the other stuff.

How can we make digitalisation sustainable?

The Berlin group of the FSFE wants to show an answer to this question at the Umweltfestival 2024 together with @bitsundbaeume_berlin and @be4foss . Come to our stand to learn more about the sustainable use of computers with Free Software. We will also have information about Upcycling Android, Public Money, Public Code and the Fediverse at our booth.

We will be at the Straße des 17. Juni between Siegessäule and Brandenburger Tor on April 28th from 11am to 7pm. Come by and talk to us about Free Software!

@overholt Richard Ovenden wrote on 21 Dec that "Destroying historical wills is foolhardy and short-sighted". Glad to see strong support in value-added comments both in the FT (where there are now 60 comments online, v 3 in the copy archived soon after publication at archive.is/axWT4), & on birdchan (nitter.net/richove/status/1737). Let's hope for a rethink!

I'm running the George Lansbury Memorial Lecture today.

2. Recently digitised and published open access online is volume 17 of George Lansbury's papers. You can view it here: lse-atom.arkivum.net/uklse-dl1

3. For those who like their podcasts, a new podcast is out today called "Good George Lansbury" which covers his life: redheavenproject.com/episodes/

Today I’m travelling to Freiburg im Breisgau to take part in the conference “Archäologie der Handschrift” (archaeologie-der-handschrift.d). I’ll be posting about it regularly most of the coming week, using #HsTagung. Do follow: there will be many interesting papers on #manuscripts, #digitisation, new methods of analysis, and much more. Every session will be live-streamed too, so you can attend if you like! @medievodons @histodons
