Don’t get me wrong - I am super sentimental, and can really get lost going down memory lane. I spend probably most of my mental life living in the past. But yeah, I guess the stuff I do preserve (99% text) just doesn’t take up much room at all.

Genuine question, do people actually care about backing up media that much? I don’t get it. Everything I actually care about personally I can fit on a thumbdrive and a box of notebooks.

I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of the voting public. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

Doesn’t that make it even more selfless?

… what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?

The term I’ve heard for this is social murder:

… an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.

Scared CEOs—finally, a guilt-free fetish.
