Surprising fact: no major professional scientific organization has flipped from a paywalled publishing model to 100% Open Access.

The @ACM the world's foremost professional computing organization, is going to be the first on January 1, 2026, when its entire digital library will become freely available to the public.

Tip of the day: #PDFs come from a variety of sources but not always in the perfect form for your work. Sometimes you may have pages you don’t need. Maybe you had a marathon scanning session to one big document but need individual documents now. Whatever reason you have for splitting a #PDF, #DEVONthink has a few special options available. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220412-split-pdfs-devonthink

IDEA: We'll make bash better by wrapping it in yaml for snippet re-use, then wrapping the yaml in json so we can use jq, then wrapping that in xml so we can validate it with xml schema and then wrap that in markdown so it is documented.

The 1993 battle for a portable document format was impressive. What would today look like if PDF didn't win? #digipres #fileformats #obsolete. https://archive.org/details/MacWEEKV07N25/page/n45/mode/1up

EBCDIC in the news reminds me that it's so old that there are jokes about it in Zork

"Along one wall of the room are three buttons which are, respectively, round, triangular, and square. Naturally, above the buttons are instructions written in EBCDIC."

I'm not in digital preservation, but I can't help but feeling a visceral reaction to format conversion as anything but an exercise in optimism.

Can neither confirm nor deny that you'll be able to hit at least four rows on your #digipresBingo ipres_bingo_card_1.pdf if you attend my #ApacheTika demo tomorrow at the #digipresBakeOff!

I just noticed that @PDFassociation joined the #fediverse last month.

It looks like the account hasn't been that active yet, but it is great to see them here.
