Great report and perspectives that will be easy to share with non-technical organisations.
Credit to @varia for the event 'Sometimes Not Available', where this came up.
One of the recommendations:
'External and long-term consultancies in digital care are important to ensure that the organizations enter a process of building a new institutional culture. And structuring an internal team dedicated to the technology and security issues may directly contribute to the consolidation and sustainability of such institutional culture of digital care.' (p18)

I'm mostly worried about the fact that many NVIDIA users, including myself, who use Kinoite or the KDE Plasma spin, may have to switch to another distro because Kwin crashes when using the Wayland session.
I've been doing consistent weekly meal planning for 2 months now and it's been really nice! Just been thinking about what to have/make, buy groceries just for that, etc. When someone in my family asks what we're having for dinner, I can answer them right away. And if we want to shuffle things around, it's easy enough to do, too (with consideration given to the groceries we bought).
It's massively cut down on takeout and I've been having so much fun cooking!

Reading an otherwise excellent book, โPolarized America,โ published in 2006. But this line strikes me as a bit naive through the lens of December 2023:
โthere is simply no question to us that the United States is a far more tolerant place [than] it was fifty years ago.โ

Critical insight from Bruce Schneier:
"Any AI regulations should place restrictions on those people and corporations. Otherwise the regulations are making the same category error Iโve been talking about. At the end of the day, there is always a human responsible for whatever the AIโs behavior is. And itโs the human who needs to be responsible for what they doโand what their companies do."

The answer is "experts" and the public plays a part by submitting nominations, much like it works in the National Film Registry. Will they make bad calls? Absolutely! But it's better than what we have now.
For games that don't make it smaller scale preservation efforts are needed, individuals, fans, etc... But a high-profile archive that's meant to preserve key games in videogame history needs to prioritize its effort and not dilute itself thin.
