Amazon wrote to say they will stop Amazon Drive, and only support photo formats after 31 Dec 2023. Global citizens and businesses store, use and share many content types; file names hardly matter. Is someone at Amazon narrowing choices, rather than stay current and relevant?
Every day I get unsolicited emails from many countries, saying “we are the best web designers, we will help you”. But do you see the irony of it? They NEVER have a website of their own. A potential global industry, if they used open best practices. But those get filed as spam.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RX1Z2S1 I wanted a light weight, sturdy, brand name tripod with ability for pointing anything mounted on it. But it is cheaply made. The parts are good, but the integration is not. The people assembling it, probably never had to use it themselves. I have a telescope that ought to fit nicely. It did, but

Digital Voice Recorder; Modea Portable Digital, USB Disk Audio Voice Recorder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CHNBJQR I wanted a low cost way to record while the recorder is plugged in.

Hello, I was looking at all groups working on games on GitHub and came across this particle clicker game. http://particle-clicker.web.cern.ch and https://github.com/particle-clicker/particle-clicker “An addictive incremental game that teaches players the history of high energy particle physics” So you click, it pulls up a random diagram of a scattering event, with no associated data.

I came across PubFacts.com while searching for “parallel sequential” “fluorescence in situ hybridization”. There is no location or identification information. No team. It looks like someone copied material from PubMed and MedLine then put really basic queries and listings. I wrote to ask them who they are, where they are, and what their goals might

How we Jam: FigJam for Designers at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoCRiAWNEYI You took an interactive and collaborative environment and transferred it to a one way only, no feedback format when you put this on YouTube. You should have Figma be able to talk to the whole Internet (about 4.8 billion with some access) and then listen and let

Jane, I commented on your “Urgent appeal” posting. You have edited and curated many things. How would you approach the wide variety and purposes of postings on the Internet related to “Afghanistan”? — Any topic that has millions or billions of entry points on the Internet? That is what I am facing with the Internet
