Knitting machine punch cards are a living form of computing history. 🧶💾 In "Punch Card Knitting," Nichole Misako Nomura explores how these binary codes are still used today, and the challenges of preserving them. 📚 Read it in VANISHING CULTURE, FREE: archive.org/details/vani...

What can knitting machines teach us about the history of computing?

"They're an important piece of computing history—and crucially, one of the few that isn't only history because a broad community of people, on- and off-line, are still sharing knowledge on how to hack, restore, and use

All my social media that I make are most often made with the intent of staying in the creative circle and potentially sharing my own art. BUT, I also do a lot of dog stuff and so I am likely just going to have this account be a combined dog/art place. Thank you for your time.

Hear hear! If you want wizards, witches, magic and fantasy by a British author, pick up a Terry Pratchett book~ (he was also a huge ally)

The actual sf community is acutely aware of this. See, for instance, this article by writer Charles Stross. Also, "Silicon Valley completely lacking any understanding of sf works they quote" has become a meme by itself (see "Torment Nexus", mentioned in the article). Tldr: it makes us cringe. Hard.

We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books. The short answer: page by page, by hand. You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it. Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/m...

Just void-posting so ignore me, But I wonder what the culture is around here about liking things further back in someone's account. I am a long term Tumblr user so it's totally normal to like someone's super old stuff. Same vibe here?

Recalled the song in episode 9 of TADC, "too much to get over", and how it made me pretty sad so I looked it up again yesterday and lo... it made me mega sad all over again.

I've opened my bookstore for a limited time. You can get autographed books direct from me, and all come with extras. Shipping costs are included in book costs BUT if you order multiple books and I can cut the costs, I'll refund partial shipping. adistantsoil.com/book-store/

Good thread. Popular SF&F has always been woowoo-adjacent. The overlap between purchasers of SF paperbacks and, for instance, Edgar Cayce books was large. And woowoo is a very effective delivery vehicle for race “science”, eugenics, authoritarianism, and the whole rest of the fascist package.
