Discord Channel Links to Raindrop Bookmarks

How to Migrate Links in Discord Channels to Raindrop Collections

The Dilemma

I have used a Discord channel as my "Reading List" for years, but have been using Raindrop in the past month and would like to migrate all the links to all the articles, essays, videos, etc that I've posted in the channel through its existence into my Reading List Collection on Raindrop.

Most Intriguing Apps

An ongoing list of links to iOS apps, App Stories, and greater media coverage.

I’ve privately maintained a list like this for as long as I can remember, to be honest, but it’s never been particularly useful to others until now. Though it’ll probably never be alphabatized, standardized, or comprehensively annotated, it will be kept relatively up-to-date - certainly for the duration of my iPhone 12 Pro Max long review.

I wanted/want my own equivalent of Lorem Ipsum for when I need test text, and I think Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" makes an ideal choice.

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

“Our fine arts were developed, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in comparison with ours. But the amazing growth of our techniques, the adaptability and precision they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, make it a certainty that profound changes are impending in the ancient craft of the Beautiful. In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power. For the last twenty years neither matter nor space nor time has been what it was from time immemorial. We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art.” Paul Valéry, Pièces sur L’Art, 1931 Le Conquete de l’u

Periscope Preservation

An ongoing document for (former) Periscope users detailing all available means of preserving/scraping data and media from psp.tv.

The official announcement of Periscope's demise was posted on their Medium blog on December 15th, 2020.

It states:

Broadcasts that were shared to Twitter will live on as replays, and all broadcasters will be able to download an archive of their Periscope broadcasts and data before the app is removed in March 2021.

Thanks to a brief series of Tweets from @TwitterSupport, we know the app is going to be removed from the app store on March 31st. (Which is in 8 days, atm.)
