The best non-fiction book I’ve read in 2023 was an academic (and expensive-ish) volume I decided to purchase after spending some time with it, going through it’s pages, making sure it was as focused on the topics I was interested as I hoped it to be. If I had no prior access to it, I would have not risked buying it.

Of course, to “go through it before buying” I had to go through a library copy, and there is only one library you can hope to find a book like that: @internetarchive@internetarchive’s Open Library.

Unfortunately, while it keeps generating sales like the one I just told you about, libraries, and Internet Archive’s Open Library in particular, are under attack - by publishers!

That is why I signed this petition, and I urge you to do the same:

I have also decided today is a fine day to make a donation to the Internet Archive, an endeavor that deserves all my love ❤️

Bon j’ai essayé un truc avec #inkscape, mais c’est minable. Pourtant, j’adorerais porter un t-shirt avec écrit en gros devant ‘nous sommes noirs, nous sommes blancs, nous sommes jaunes, et ensemble, nous sommes…’ et derrière ‘de la dynamite!’. Mais mes essais font des illustrations toutes moches. Y a des artistes dans le coin? @noroanka@im-in.space

@xuu@txt.sour.is

@xuutxt.sour.is to answer your question, the Mentions view and the Mentions filter work a bit differently. The former looks at the pod’s entire cache for mentions of you, whilst the later only filters the current view
If that makes sense – It does beg the question of whether the “Mentions” view is needed at all, as its equivalent to /discover?f=mentionsme I think

@eldersnake@twtxt.net You able to grab a screenshot of the console (debug) of the request? 🙏 I can’t repro this locally 🧐

@eldersnake@twtxt.net Yup! Nig I’m the JavaScript. I plan to fix this tonight!
