Team GCN: GCN unveils free Digital Archive giving access to first 10 years of Ireland’s national LGBTQ+ press. “As the nation’s queer paper of record, for the past 35 years, GCN has documented the lives of LGBTQ+ people in Ireland. Until now, the early days of the magazine have been unavailable to the public due to their existence in print form only; the delicate newspapers stored carefully away. Today, June 19, celebrating the start of Dublin Pride week, GCN launches an online archive of its first 10 years, making our community’s history accessible to the public for the very first time.”

Axios Chicago: New website tells you whether your Chicago home has lead pipes. “These lines can leach toxic lead into drinking water, and health authorities say no amount of ingested lead is safe.

TWEAKS AND UPDATES
Mashable: Google Maps’ Immersive View adds way more cities and landmarks. “In February, Google launched Immersive View for Google Maps, a new, AI-powered experience that lets you virtually stroll through a place in 3D, seeing as it changes over different times and weather conditions — and even allowing you to peek inside certain buildings. Initially, Immersive View was only available in a handful of cities: London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo. Now, Google is adding more cities and landmarks to the list.”

RESEARCH & OPINION
Washington Post: How new Twitter rules could hinder war crimes research and rescue efforts. “Twitter’s recent decision under new owner Elon Musk to charge more than $500,000 annually for a once-free tool to analyze posts on the platform is hampering disinformation and war crimes research, and could slow rescue efforts during natural disasters, according to experts and nonprofit groups.”

AI will impact the public like few other technologies, so it should also be developed by the public.”
Idaho State University: One in 20 Programmers on Open-Source Software Projects are Women, Says Idaho State University Study. “Every day, millions of updates are being made to open-source software projects by programmers across the globe.
