The British man has been socially conditioned not to show it...but he'd likely really appreciate it.

Wow those waves are GORGEOUS for N64 graphics. Dang! I remember I loved Blue Storm on the GameCube. I spent a while just moving that little bubble around the main menu hahaha. It's still gorgeous!

They're editing entertainment history to begin with. Deletion is bad enough, but possibly even more nefarious is the blatant, unapologetically sneaky editing of existing media mentioned in this thread. Jussst a little bit at a time.

Unlike many videogames, TV shows, music, movies, don't get "version / revision numbers." Can you trust your archives to be original?

Adjust for today's-sensibilities here, remove a now-naughty-word there..."oh, we don't wanna pay for that song that released in 5 years before this 36 year old television program...better it never existed!"

Their goal seems to be relegating the Internet to simply being a flow of "What's trending and making money NOW" and nothing else. Every ~~byte~~ electron has a dollar value.

They want generations growing up in a world where the corporate narrative is all that ever was and will be.

Today it's talk shows and cartoons.

Tomorrow it's biographies and documentaries. Family histories? Newspapers?

We need to stop this NOW.

Media conglomerates can't even be relied on to be stewards of their own legacy. They're coming for ours.

So, who's up for another reread/watch of Farenheit 451 or Equalibrium?

Cross platform now!? Oh happy day! As time moves on I find less and less that would force me to hold on to this Win10 install just for gaming. One of those things was "Aw but their mod manager was really good."

Absolutely astounding.

Unless you're Bruce Wayne, in which case when asked you might say NA NA-NA NA-NA NA-NA NA....

I'll see myself out.

Yeah these look exactly like things I'd see on billboards in Vegas when certain conventions are in town...

Dank and based Christian memes calling out hypocrisy from religious political factions?

Thoughtful discussions on faith in the comments without immediately devolving into a bashing-all-faiths circlejerk?! On LEMMY?

And that's how we made Reddit obsolete.

There's still some bitterness around here, but I'm glad there's room for talk and respect. Love you all. ❤️

Still haven't gotten Plasma 6 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I know they're making sure it's a quality roll-out but I can't wait!!! :)

"What monsters would just abandon their family like this??"

It really feels like SOMEWHERE there was a legitimate use for this for very mission-critical stuff that might need to be immutable once published and kept for posterity...

...but then it just became yet another speculative asset to make magic money that fueled stupid monkey jpegs.

The pursuit of profit benefits mankind only by the occasional anomalous accident.

Woo that's a NICE screen saver! It looks so....real...ANYWAY

Thank you! I've been making this argument a LOT with recent discussions on kids not understanding keyboards and controllers because their lives are full of touchscreens.

Touch isn't "the future". It just absolutely flooded the market.
