Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.
what if you stumble into a forest world wearing a forbidden "princess" tiara and a dangerous crow boy whose job it is to destroy princess becomes obsessed with you
everyone shut da fuck up this is the only thing that matters
um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.
"We're gonna achieve immortality by turning ourselves into machines" buddy I want you to find yourself a 15 year old laptop and try to run a 10 year old piece of software on it please. Connect to the internet, if you can, and attempt to log into any of your online accounts
Good luck cyborg buddy, I wish you the best.
Also, previous tag:
fun fact this is a big issue that museums/archives/preservation professionals run into
This is something I bring up a lot. Digital preservation is not a thing to rely on. Anything digital is inherently ephemeral, fleeting.
All current and former digital storage will eventually fail. Paper tapes and punch cards cards wear and rot. Magnetic tape and disks grow mold and shed their magnetic coating. Hard drives seize and crash, their controllers fail. Optical media scratches, rots, or simply fades. Solid state media loses its charge over time. Cloud services shut down with no warning.
Long-term digital storage is a never-ending process of copying to new media.
And then there's the problem of format.
It took less than 30 years for digital works by Andy Worhol — one of the most popular artists of the 20th century — to be lost to obsolete technology.
A dozen previously unknown works created by Andy Warhol have been recovered from 30-year-old Amiga disks.
We had the disks, we had the computers, we had modern emulators for the computers. But reading the images (PDF Archive) required very specific combinations of operating system and software versions, and in some cases required reverse-engineering image formats for which the correct combination of software could not be found.
This wasn't some obscure machine. Millions of Amiga computers were sold, and Amiga users are among the most dedicated to keeping the platform going long after its discontinuation.
And still the image format had to be reverse-engineered to recover Worhol's images.
How much of our culture from the past 30 years has been entirely digital?
To be fair, this isn't exactly a new problem, or even one unique to the digital era. But I do wonder what will remain for future generations looking back. How much of human history has been pieced together from shards of pottery and clay tablets? With our communications, our documents, our art all moving to digital media, what will be left of us to dig up? What will it tell of our story, of who we are, what we believed, what challenges we overcame?

Lawyer energy... they train you to do this in law school and it not only makes the tendency worse but makes you overpoweringly good at it the longer you're in the lawyer field. Lawyers all do this for fun with each other all the time but if you apply it to a civilian you have to use caution and deploy a lot of gentle affirmations to keep them in the game.
This is why a lot of lawyers end up affable storytellers among mixed company.
Time for the star crossed lovers!
one of the best games ever
Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".
Popular histories: Medieval peasants understood themselves as inhabiting a cosmic order in which the King was their divinely appointed superior.
Actual medieval peasant: God, please set the King and everyone who looks like him on fire, Amen.
Out of curiosity do you recall offhand any of the latter sources? I want to read medieval peasants hating on their rulers :)
This Tumblr thread has a fun anecdote about Guillaume le Jupponnier, and links to an blog post with some more. There is also a promising source in the form of Popular protest in late-medieval Europe. Italy, France and Flanders by Samuel Cohn.
I must say that it may be more accurate to say that the medieval peasantry is not a monolith. They can hold every possible opinion. But yeah, hating the king is a time honored pastime.
I hate it when you’re reading smut and you can’t figure out what position they’re in.
sometimes it just ends up being something like
ITS BACK
Y’ALL NEED JESUS

Have you seen the videos of orca exploding a sunfish?
yeah man that shit is nuts
for real though they figured out that if one orca holds a sunfish carcass still while a big male winds up and rams it at top speed, the fish basically disintegrates:
there are many reasons they could be doing this, but a small juvenile orca was later seen scooping up the shreds, so my bet is that this was just a family making Orca Baby Food.
sunfish have extremely tough leathery skin with a thick layer of disgusting-tasting gel under it that gives the sunfish neutral buoyancy and also makes it too gross to bite. the traditional way to get around these issues and get at the tender flesh inside is to be a human with a fillet knife, but I guess just fucking exploding them also does the trick.
