Pons_Aelius, (edited ) to piracy in Long storage life curiosity

Discs aren’t very suitable for long term storage.

M-DISC may well be a good option for long term storage.

M-DISC's design is intended to provide archival media longevity. M-Disc claims that properly stored M-DISC DVD recordings will last up to 1000 years

Leave them the fuck alone.

I seriously doubt it would be possible with humans still in the picture due to our impact on the biosphere and resource use.

No matter what high minded principles we might espouse, human history shows that we fuck up less tech advanced cultures, even when we think we are trying to help.

Case in point North Sentinel Island.

TLDR: Hunter gatherer society that the world has decided to leave alone as they do not want contact but some fuckhead US christian decided he knew better, attempted contact to tell them about God or whatever and got himself killed. While possibly infecting them with something they have no immunity for.

One of the few instances where the movie is on par, quality wise, with the novel.

Pons_Aelius, to cooking in [Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?

Edit of title required...

Pons_Aelius, to mensliberation in No, you don’t have to see your toxic family on Thanksgiving

No one has the right to your company.

I allow myself to spend 4 hours per year in the presence of my brother. I do it so my parents can have the family together for Christmas dinner. Other than that we have not communicated in 5 years.

When mt parents pass away, so will those 4 hours.

Pons_Aelius, to asklemmy in Why a user in one instance can't comment on another instance in lemmy? ( not a rant )

All I see is: *******

Pons_Aelius, to asklemmy in What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people?

This was my thought as well.

Gods exist because humans believe in them. The stronger the belief, the stronger the God.

As belief fades, so does the Deity and their power.

Pons_Aelius, to memes in Memes being used as a vent?

Personally, a post expressing displeasure about what others are posting rings a bit hollow when it comes from an account that has been around for months but has not posted or commented anything prior to this.

Please improve your efforts to entertain me...

What have you brought to the table?

Pons_Aelius, to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

Why are you sour?

Pons_Aelius, to memes in It's like a trance

Or it could also be meditation.

He does for this in.

Yes, there is a definite similarity there.
