Oh LJ...
A few links, since they're everywhere...
Interview with Nosik (can we have lizards running LJ? What do you say? *g*) in two translations: Translation 1 & Translation 2.
Also - thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peasant_, here is a post by the man himself, clarifying a lot of issues.
Andromanyg has a short post that's definitely worth checking out.
(Thank you topeasant_ for the links.)
Anyway, then clearly someone has twigged what the main problem is:
The announcement last Wednesday was a mistake in regards to Basic accounts, as the change was not clearly stated, it did not allow for you to provide feedback, and went into effect immediately. Many of you have pointed out that the decision worried you less than the way it was communicated. You should have been given a voice, and you were not; we didn’t follow our own rules, and we apologize.
Whole post here. (Friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lj_2008 if you haven't already!)
Also a good and thought provoking post bytechnosage here. I don't know about the whole striking thing, since can't see that it'll do much good, but since it's Good Friday I might just not be here *anyway*.

But now for something GOOD - two vid-recs:
Affirmation bybutterfly. A love letter to Doctor Who and Torchwood. *profound love*
Jack? Is keeping his baby (DW/TW) byfan_eunice and greensilver. I have not seen a vid so *beautifully* telling a story since charmax's Your Woman (which incidentally every single S/A fan should watch! Tis *brilliant*) ... But this one is set to Madonna's 'Papa Don't Preach' and it makes me incoherent with delight and joy. Go watch it! (Presuming you haven't already. It seems all of fandom has.)
(Spoilers up to TW 2.10 for both)
Oh and - in the name of randomness - Ianto really has *the* longest eyelashes ever. (Cap from 'Something Borrowed'. Yes I am that sad. And now I need to do some housework...)

no subject
All very interesting and thank you for pointing it out. I think that as with all things this whole business is shades of grey, rather than the black & white that everyone was saying at first. And right now I'm honestly not too bothered - as long as LJ stops trying to implement changes without telling anyone. And that really has nothing to do with Nossik.
