    I don’t blame them for not understanding 40 years ago, but I do blame them for not understanding now. Older generations still contain the majority of climate deniers and other heel draggers, and their votes make a big difference.


  • I mean yeah you’re not wrong, but physical media doesn’t last forever either. Vinyl is pretty good, but pretty much every form of digital storage will slowly waste away without some dedicated upkeep effort. Unless you’re really willing to put in some serious effort maintaining a personal digital archive it kind of is just better to treat everything as a lease.

    The only thing that really worries me are stuff like family photos and videos, and other important digital documents. Yeah I can print some of them, and I should do that more, but on the other hand they’re probably safer from destruction with Google than they are in my house. Both would be best though.
