Linkin, trains, and nobody’s mentioning Lincoln Logs?

Is the small box to the bottom left of the boulder like its food/water box?

tbh i think pan may be more fun for everyone but the ol’ meme is gay so went with gay and i imagine this is the widely inclusive gay for all that fun stuff

hear me out, what if they all merged back into the public and somethingsomething fully automated luxury gay space utopia?

What might help to effect this change? If I’m not mistaken, a number of states are almost under single-party rule, particularly those that might benefit most from this kind of change.

Is it something that may be built up from a municipal to county to state level to then establish on a national level?

[…] go make a difference in local politics or wherever you can actually influence anything.

I agree, however I think most anyone that may only be grumbling may find themselves doing so as they’re stuck on the question of, how do I get involved? Where do I get started with any of it?

The answers will vary by locality and how they’re organized, but some direction (that is, examples) is better than none.

Security PSA: Don’t enter passwords or other secrets for important accounts directly into a third party UI.

By chance, would you (or some other passerby) happen to know how this is handled with the Lemmy apps/interfaces? I’ve been mixed on using them since I’m unclear how they’re handling this info.

Does a personality emerge from a diversification of interests/knowledge or is that something else?

Data will surely degrade over time, and large chunks will get lost as people stop copying things they think are no longer important, but I feel pretty confident in the idea that enough pieces will make it that far that these scientists (techno-archeologists?) won’t be starting from scratch

Right, that’s what I was trying to refer to in my reply, not a damage to this new storage media itself, but surrounding data/storage media that would provide help in reverse engineering it. Sorry I wasn’t clearer about that! I was thinking like if you didn’t have, say, a Rosetta Stone kind of artifact (or artifacts) to help in translating/reconstructing/reverse engineering.

That’s why I wrote that I think it’s really unlikely, like yourself, but it’s interesting to consider.

We’ve reconstructed archaic languages that no living person speaks from fragments of written records, I find it unlikely that we’ll be completely unable to reverse engineer an ancient file system architecture - especially since the most likely course for someone actually reading one of these 1000’s of years in the future is for the reader to be from a more technologically advanced civilization.

I saw another reply mention similar, and I see where you’re both coming from, but seeing another reply in this vein has encouraged me to ask the question the other reply inspired which is: what if you lack the fragments needed to reverse engineer/reconstruct a means to access the information?

Chances are slim, and to be clear here, I’m by no means knocking this development, as I find it really exciting, but I also enjoy thinking through some of the different potential points of failure. Not from a cynical/pessimistic perspective, but because it’s a compelling challenge and puzzle. How much else alongside this specific media may need to survive so that it may remain accessible, directly or indirectly, y’know?

That’s as cool and fun to consider as the new storage media itself to me! Come to think of it, maybe I really should look into some kind of archival/museum jobs considering that…

From the article:

As intriguing as the idea is, we have to admit it smacks of a publicity stunt more than an earnest act of preservation. Even if the data is secure, are the robots the new points of failure? What’s to protect them from fires, floods, EMPs, and all the other threats? What about the readers, which are delicate lasers driven by algorithms? In all likelihood, any explorers in the year 12,000 that might stumble onto the remains of the Global Music Vault would just display it in a museum as a collection of crystal coasters.

I was asking myself similar questions to these, alongside even more basic details like, “What if the future computer systems simply aren’t compatible with the old filesystems, thus indicating nothing as being present on the storage media (if it’s even recognized as storage media to test)?” It’s the deeply fascinating problem all long-term information storage/transmission faces regarding future comprehensibility.

Why’s that? Won’t it simply make the seat delicious?

Would you happen to be into shmups?

This reads really easily on my phone.

Through one of the apps, presumably? I typically use browser on mobile & so have the same zoom/pan experience described above.

Thanks, I should have clarified that I’m asking from a desktop perspective.

There are more options on that front, but I think the browser screenshot tool may kinda work for a full page shot then I guess you might crop it? But those have still seemed kinda rough to me so made me wonder.

How do people go about making really long images like this? And also, what screen resolution are they aimed at?

Any time I find images like this I end up having to zoom in & pan about to read whatever text’s included. It’s not much trouble, but when I come across them I’m often a little perplexed by the formatting.

The entire meme is a fraud.

Which way to the meme courts?

They attached the blåhaj? That’s dedication! Congrats!
