Thanks for the pointers, I'll have to give'em a look! Eusociality does sound right in line with what I was wondering about, but hadn't heard of it before!
😂 Hey, I realize you were already able to tell that this made its way over (and seems like the edit made the original do so too), but appreciate the thorough check! Federation, gotta love these rough edges sometimes!
...Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?
I thought of "surfing the web" as more of a superficial approach personally. I was thinking more along the lines of "researching" or digging through sites with a similar topic but each went deeper or in different directions than the first.
Although on second thought and a little looking around, it looks like "net diver" never took off as its own term? What strange rocks have I been under? 😵
Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there's a version for Linux as well.
Plus Taylor Swift who has been immensely popular for like...What, over a decade now? Only now suddenly wielding her influence to run the government or something? Please, she's rich, popular, and in business, she basically operates as her own independent nation without needing to run anyone else's. 😂
They're not also locked into Facebook? It seems like far too many public services communicate through these non-public platforms (i.e. often more easily viewed or sometimes only viewable with an account).
Whoa, they gave you therapy animals? Lookit this guy
Somehow this is the first time I've ever seen, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" shortened that way and it left me thinking it was something even more arcane 😂
Furries view their fursonas like mascots? 🤨 TI...L?
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.
What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn't exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔
