Per Google, they're not touching accounts with YouTube uploads

#Google just announced that going forward, any account not logged into for two years gets deleted.

This means huge amounts of rare or unique #video is about to disappear from #YouTube as accounts get flagged as inactive, such as when the user dies. Families' #HomeMovies (often posted by an older relative for their family's benefit), historical footage, rare #television clips, etc. What an incalculable loss to human #history and culture!

If there are videos important to you on someone else's video channel, find a way to download them. And if you have rare #media of historical importance, consider leaving it to institutional #archives or lending it to archives for digital preservation.

Fifteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that. 🫤

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

Someday soon-ish I'd like to have identi.ca working with ActivityPub. When I get the time for it!

Something that people don't seem to appreciate is that unless we get justice for the creation and leaking of COVID, it'll happen again. Why wouldn't it? It was so incredibly profitable, for pharma and "essential businesses".

All the evidence is there. It's like catching a serial killer and they say "well the victim is already dead, so what difference does it make at this point to lock me up? It's just more suffering." So the police agree and let them go, then later suprisedpikachu.jpg

I'd think the notion of "the next COVID" would motivate people, but truth and confronting powerful interests makes them uncomfortable.

I made a rug

@xianc78 Another difference is that it is quite rare that the thief steals from you again next month, and the month after that, and again, again, again...
