  • You just made me imagine a world where you buy a blu-ray and it downloads an update to the movie, changing the ending. A vile thought.

    I think the real challenge of media preservation is the fact that every high-capacity storage medium decays far too quickly. Indeed even if capitalism didn't require the nonsense like region blocking, there would still be no incentive to not only keep the same formats, but also continually make perfect copies of original masters. To that end it becomes the peoples' duty to get the highest quality available and use technology like torrenting to constantly keep a version in circulation.

    But even then, it's quite likely that the media will be lost to time eventually. Unless we start drilling the compressed binary into stone.

    You know, I don't know. I really expected to see a ton of people in shirts with the picture of Trump right after he got shot around me but that didn't happen. At the same time, not seeing any of the lib lawn signs I Saw back in 2020. I think I'm going to weigh the lack of enthusiasm for Trump heavier and say that Kamala will probably wins with a fairly weak voter turnout. But that's more of a guess than anything based in hard data.


  • Fireworks should be banned, for a multitude of reasons, but damn if I won't miss them. I have fond memories watching fireworks. I guess I live in a community largely build around fireworks displays, so to me it's all about meeting in the park, grabbing some too expensive food from a cart vendor and watching fireworks with friends.
