The prevalent usage of QR codes (and bar codes in general)...

Should we ever lose electricity and the ability to use the electronic devices they point toward - those codes are nothing but hieroglyphics, to future peoples.

Among the people who were in the car that stopped (and drove me and my bike home), was a man from South Africa who, upon learning that I work “in the Web”, told us about an interview he recalled where David Bowie was as early as 1999 (about half a decade after the Web took off massively) completely spot on about the power of the Internet (I’m sure he meant the Web).

Such a visionary!

A Yandex contractor is hiring remote workers for the Russian search giant in Russian-controlled Donetsk and Luhansk—and Yandex confirms that they don't care where the applicants might be working from, as long as they have a Russian passport. A peculiar development for a company which went to great lengths to distance itself from any outcomes of the war in Ukraine, down to removing state and region borders on their maps. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/6135517
