YES! EXACTLY!

The web is in a downward spiral of enshittification of being able to find anything and garbage-ification of content.

Now is the time to buy hard copies of the books & music you want preserved, b/c they're going to be sucked into the void & never seen again if you don't.

Peter @peter@thepit.social 5/28/25 if you have a library of 10,000 precious books containing thousands of years of human knowledge, and that library burns down, it's a tragedy. and it's the **exact same effect** if, instead of burning them, you mix those 10,000 books into a sea of 1,000,000,000 books that look exactly like them but contain fabricated content with no traceable record of who created them or why.

Hello all, I have started project to make and devise a standard for the blind and print disabled to read Manga. In it I go over the project in detail, the reasons for said project, as well as for why this project is important to the culture of Manga and blind people in its entirety.

It's been a while since I plugged one of my children's picture books, and what's the point of writing a book if nobody knows about it!?

'The Tyrannosaur's Feathers' is a fun exploration of the science of palaeontology. The book uses T. rex to show how a growing body of evidence gradually shifts our understanding of dinosaur appearance and behaviour.

On Amazon here https://amzn.to/3Z7V7JM for the blurb etc, but widely available elsewhere.

Where the Axe is Buried. By Ray Nayler.

It’s the future, and governments are either run by AIs, or despots, and you are a programmer with a breakthrough technology that could make things worse, or better for humanity…you are approached to help, but it’s impossible to tell who, or what, is pulling the strings, with what agenda.
