It’s the classic librarian’s dilemma: Because no library has unlimited storage, every library has to carefully manage its physical collection, and that means removing books to make space for new ones.

I'd like to correct one thing mentioned in the podcast with @christitustech you can claim your timelocked LBC but to my knowledge still haven't built out the interface to do so, it requires jumping through some commandline hoops odysee.com/@Alojz:f/claim-time…
You shouldn't feel bad for this. For a long time, I had to upload my videos on YouTube and Odysee before they let me in. But when they did let me in, in all lowercase, support told me to DELETE MY CHANNELS and make a new one. Then that didn't work and they had to do some manual process. I like LBRY as a protocol, but I agree with CTT, dealing with LBRY is like talking to a mime.
@trafotin I do remember that whole delete your channel thing, putting everything on a blockchain sounds like a neat idea but it very quickly starts falling apart in practice. Let alone the obvious issue of not being able to remove unquestionably bad material like CP and doxxing

Malala says she stands with Iranian women, supports their movement for freedom, rights
Extends support to women of Afghanistan, says things are ‘tough’ for them in the country
PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Pakistani Nobel laureate and education rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, said on Wednesday that the situation for women and girls in conservative Iran had become “unbearable,” adding that while she could not “imagine the situation” they are facing these days, she would continue to support their movement for basic human rights.

Extends support to women of Afghanistan, says things are ‘tough’ for them in the country
PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Pakistani Nobel laureate and education rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, said on Wednesday that the situation for women and girls in conservative Iran had become “unbearable,” adding that while she could not “imagine the situation” they are facing these days, she would continue to support their movement for basic human rights.
Iran has been gripped by months of protests — which officials describe as “riots” — since the death of a 22-year-old woman Mahasa Amini in police custody. Amini died under mysterious circumstances in police custody after she was arrested for an alleged breach of the country’s dress code for women.
As of December 2022, Iranian courts have sentenced 400 people to jail for up to 10 years over their involvement in protests sparked by Amini’s death. The regime has also drawn widespread international condemnation after executing two men in connection with the unrest.
Yousufzai, while speaking at the Arizona Speaker Series in Phoenix event this week, said it was scary to picture women in a situation where they are even killed for wearing a loose headscarf on their head.
“We cannot even imagine the situation women and girls are facing, it is unbearable,” the Pakistani Nobel peace prize winner said.
“[Unfortunately], that is the reality of women right now in Iran. I want to tell our sisters in Iran that we stand with you, we’re supporting you and your movement for your freedom, for your basic human rights.”
Last year, the education activist said the women and girls taking to the streets of Iran to demand freedom and safety were “already changing the world with their courage.”
At the Phoenix event, she also spoke about the women in Afghanistan who have been banned from attending schools and workplaces by the Taliban administration, saying that the situation is “tough” for them.
“I think it is tough for women in Afghanistan. It is tough for women around the world because we are seeing something similar happening in many places where a group of men or institutions or governments are interfering in women’s lives and telling them what to wear, how to speak, how to dress,” she said.
“The Taliban have not just banned sports for women and girls, they’ve actively intimidated and harassed those who once played sports,” she added.

Parnallee is a LL3.6 chondrite that fell on Feb 28, 1857 in Tamil Nadu, India. Sonic booms preceded the fall of two stones around 12:00 noon. This is a beautiful meteorite that has an abundance of chondrules packed in the matrix.

The Corn Belt in the midwest is home to the nation’s most productive soils.
Hundreds of miles above, NASA satellites provide critical views of the region that help scientists study soil loss over time and develop tools for conservation techniques.
Soil is the foundation of our food systems, and sustainable farming depends upon healthy soil, which has impacts far beyond the field on air, water and climate.

Watching @tchambers (and team) doing some super interesting and informative work on the growth of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon - this looks extremely interesting, and looks to become a quarterly update 👀 (also, if you're interested in this space, follow him!) indieweb.social/@tchambers/109…
This is our first quarterly update analyzing which platforms are growing - esp #mastodon & #postnews. Includes new data on users posting, app downloads & more.
particularly valuable quote in there from @nilay_patel "all the action is on Mastodon. That is where the app developers are, the platform is accelerating, and the underlying fediverse boundaries are growing".
This, to me, is absolutely key. Many of the things that made Twitter, Twitter, came from the developer ecosystem - having a vibrant ecosystem around #ActivityPub, #MastodonAPI and #Pixelfed and others can be instrumental for future growth and diversification of the communities.
