We're now in Trakt migration 2.0.
The move by Trakt that triggered Trakt Migrtation 1.0 was understandable, they have to make money.
But in this latest move, messing with grandfathered accounts, no, not understandable.
You just don't mess with grandfathered accounts ever in any service. That's your way of saying, "Thank you for always being with us since the beginning".
My mobile network plan is a grandfathered account, and the network have been trying to get us to "upgrade" to a "better" plan. Ad that's to mention one such.
Even in gaming, grandfathered accounts are not touched ever. If they cancel, that's the only time things change. Why? Simple, the current contract/subscription ended. So, the next time the user subscribe, it will be under the current scheme.
In addition, owners of grandfathered accounts will do everything to keep it. They'll borrow money if it comes to that. You have grandfathered accounts that are paying you but the owners are rarely using it. Compare that to the owners cancelling their grandfathered accounts because it no longer has any value for them.
Just like right now. Many are cancelling because.
Time to move to #NeoDB or #SIMKL
Pick NeoDB if you want to be in the #Fediverse. Or, pick SIMKL if you want free "Pro" just by logging-in at least 20 days.
Both NeoDB and SIMKL combines various databases into one easy to use interface.
It’s the #LibraryOfCongress.
But #Trump claims it’s his.
Trump’s new target in his campaign to expand #ExecutivePower: the Library of Congress. Never mind the name—admin attys are now arguing the main #research #library of the #legislative branch doesn’t belong to #Congress at all.
A #legal push to claim the Library as executive turf isn’t a one-off. It’s the latest move in a broader effort by Trump…to erase the…lines that separate the branches of govt.

Love this sign on the road up to Dennistoun Public Library in the East End of Glasgow (the building in the background of the photo).

Yes, I know I've posted this before, but I really want one 😊
Public libraries could make this the door to their reading areas, then I could try it, get sick of it, and not be bothered 😁

I went to the #library yesterday to print some stuff and was surprised at how loud it seemed as I walked in. Turned out there was a Kids Reading to Dogs session going on. Adorable af.
📚 **This robot scans rare library books at 2,500 pages per hour**
"_Built in Austria, the bot does exactly what its name implies—it autonomously scans and digitizes manuscripts. But whereas it might take a single librarian days or weeks to scan a single book, the ScanRobot 2.0 can handle up to 2,500 per hour._"

So, if I'm reading this correctly, if I suggest library cats for all libraries I will inevitably become king of the world... 😜😁

***infosec specialists are needed in the resistance ***
The world needs tech security specialists to run workshops at public libraries for all ages & abilities to remove spyware, AI, reduce surveillance, understand the issues, & for more advanced, move to Linux, degooglefy, etc.
Libraries will pay good wages for these workshops.
If you have these skills, please consider offering them.

Woke up with this #song in my head today entitled: #noClue
Guess it's as good a day as any to release it.
Only got permission to put it on Mastodon so no #mirloMondays.
No #artiphon #orba for once either...

Production and most keys & all guitar by Mason from #kpl #kitchener public #library
Where at city hall they recorded some 3h of the background #plantMusic
After that it took Mason only 90 minutes to record and edit the song in #LogicPro, which Mason taught an intro to this month.
Synopsis: duck the low end #eq, then add #compression, then adjust the mid&high end.
