wilkie<p>Some <a href="https://archived.software/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> ... I'm wilkie! I'm an old federated social-web fart who wrote the federation code for rstatus. I was a glorified secretary for the w3c effort to standardize ActivityPub. I'm into distributed systems, old hardware, floppy disks 💾 💗 and CS education.</p><p>I work on Occam, which is a federated software archival tool / package manager. It's hosted on THIS SITE.

wilkie<p>Video game and console companies should cease to litigate emulation and instead should open essential ROM/BIOS data and sell their older software in a DRM-free downloadable form and give back a decent portion of the profits to fund open source emulation to maintain a prosperous ecosystem and support and re-legitimize the public commons.</p>

wilkie<p>A disk failure caused my copy of Totoro to get corrupted and it infinitely repeats a few seconds of the film right when it starts to rain. Right now, my partner cannot sleep without turning on THIS SPECIFIC VERSION which I can NEVER get rid of now because the rain is soothing... so I need to distinguish it from the working copy somehow... therefore making this absolutely haunted cover art. 🤣 😱</p>

wilkie<p>My partner got their first "replace 'marginalized genders' with 'women' so we aren't too political" request on their run-of-show from a sponsor. the fight to be an enby continues anew!! 🙃 :blobcatcoffee: 🙅</p>
wilkie<p>Yet another worrying state bill, this time in my home state of Georgia, targets librarians to remove their protections so as to criminally charge those who distribute "harmful" content to minors. Considering the term "harmful" is left undefined, it's likely, if this is passed into law, to be weaponized against libraries. yikes! <a href="https://nowhabersham.com/north-georgia-librarians-fear-criminal-charges-under-proposed-senate-bill/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nowhabersham.com/north-georgia</span><span class="invisible">-librarians-fear-criminal-charges-under-proposed-senate-bill/</span></a> <a href="https://legiscan.com/GA/bill/SB74/2025" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">legiscan.com/GA/bill/SB74/2025</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

wilkie<p>I won over the stray porch cat!

wilkie<p>It's said that Press is the fourth estate, but I count libraries as a core part of that idea and any threat to them is as critical and significant as a threat to the other.</p>

wilkie<p>Breathing a sigh of relief each and every day when I see my Ukrainian colleagues post a message in our work channels. I can't even imagine how one can function at all. I'm not confident that I have that much strength.</p>
