It’s not even a real ad, btw.

One dude offered me a sandwich when he saw me dumpster diving. He said to stay in the area and I was desperate. I hadn’t eaten in days. Dude left and came back with a gas station sandwich that had clearly been previously unwrapped. Encouraged me to eat it. I opened it and the guy had put dog shit in the sandwich. I refused and he started to get aggressive but other people were around and started watching. That made him uncomfortable and he left.

Honestly, what stops me from going crazy on assholes is thinking of everything I’d lose if I did. But if I’m already homeless and you offer me a sandwich with dog shit inside I don’t care, I’m beating you until I crush your skull. You don’t play around with cornered rats. You really have to be one of the worst people on the planet to do that, I’m doing a favor to humanity by removing you from it.

Jesus that’s depressing. Thank god for the Internet or wonder how much of that 87% would already be lost forever.

Well, humanity did make a HUGE amount of mistakes worse than current copyright, to be honest. That one’s an abomination, but we’re generally really good at ruining stuff.

If we want our stuff more permanent, this will be a change from the past that we need to specifically enact.

It’s being done for a lot of stuff, just not videogames.

From the linked article:

Libraries and archives can digitally preserve, but not digitally share video games, and can provide on-premises access only

Libraries and archives are allowed to digitally share other media types, such as books, film, and audio, and are not restricted to on-premises access

The Entertainment Software Association, the video game industry’s lobbying group, has consistently fought against expanding video game preservation within libraries and archives

But I also think for something like the Star Wars Holiday Special, where the creator/copyright holder (not sure about that status post-Disney acquisition) genuinely hates it and does not want it available to the public, the owner should be allowed to restrict access to it.

Personally I disagree on that too. If something has been made public once it should stay public, unless it contains actively harmful information or something.

Lemmy.world only started in June though, that’s what I was referring to. Although yes, if you count the whole “lemmyverse” as a single platform it’s pretty much as old as Reddit was at the time.

At 6.18k upvotes, this is higher than the most upvoted Reddit post in July 2008, three years after its launch. Lemmy.world is like, one month old as far as I know?
