There was a time, a decade ago, when the EU funded a digital preservation project https://web.archive.org/web/20120226055846/http://www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu:80/
They created a bunch of videos, here is one of them:

How was programming made masculine after being first seen as a female profession? - http://gender.stanford.edu/news/2011/researcher-reveals-how-%E2%80%9Ccomputer-geeks%E2%80%9D-replaced-%E2%80%9Ccomputergirls%E2%80%9D
Getting that spinning my wheels feeling again.
My boss made a WordStar joke so I added WordStar to the software archive and associated it as a viewer of .DOC files. This works pretty well, though I have some speed improvements I'd like to make. https://mastodon.social/media/XDPa56ToA_Y5ev9nfd0
Remember when everything smelled nice and was pretty?
@edsu I think what concerns me about the new wave of decentralized publishing and communication is that projects like dat, IPFS, peerkeep, etc all want to "also solve" versioning and making every iteration permanent. This is fun and probably developers and scientists love it. For everyone else it is just relentless.
"Owning your content" is just not true when addressing aworks only via content hashes.
I'm a big fan of the Web's DIY culture. But I wonder if sometimes we focus too much on the open source technologies that let anyone publish on the web (e.g. https://selfhostedweb.org/ https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club) instead of the social hacking needed to form collectives that are more resilient than an individuals DNS registration and server setup. If you have thoughts about that I'd love to hear them.
