They are an American. It’s not like 900 dollars is some insurmountable of money to pay off in 5 years. 180 bucks a year. 15 bucks a month.

That’s literally a Spotify subscription.

I’m sorry you haven’t paid off 900 in 5 years? That’s kinda on you at that point.

Good ol fashion space.

I know enough to drive my car into Google headquarters soon.

For legal reasons that is a joke and I have no intentions of driving my vehicle into the Google buildings.

When I said “handful” I more so meant in all of language yeah there are probably hundreds of words for the empty space between certain things, but in all of human language that’s probably a pretty small number.

I mean we have lots of words for varying degrees and styles of “nothing”.

A chasm is the empty space between two chunks of the earths crust.

A void is just an empty space well… Void of all things.

An interval is just the time between two events. Technically it’s nothing.

Still a good shower thought. There aren’t a ton of words dedicated to the same phenomenon, but we have a handful.

While we are talking about shit that Google pulls that drives us crazy can we talk about the pop-up asking me if I know about driving mode EVERY SINGLE TIME I LAUNCH MAPS FROM MY CAR.

I fuckin know about it Google. I have said yes every single goddamn time. Stop fuckin asking me.

That’s the best part. It kinda works either way.

Yeah I was gonna say… He sure picked a great time to become best buddy with the most powerful man in the free world lol.

Nothing will come of this.

It’s almost like… They never cared in the first place. I don’t know why so many people are shocked. They only ever cared about money. The millisecond they were no longer at risk of losing capitol for not having a thing of course they were all gonna drop it.

See that’s where you lose me. Restricting access may as well be the same thing as not allowing the copy to be stored in the first place.

I know all about projects like the British Library. It’s seriously impressive and definitely an important historical archive. It can be burned to the ground and they already don’t allow most people to check out a lot of specific things.

But again I must point out that should there be a war or a sudden shift in political ideology of the government they might decide to destroy or remove certain things they don’t like.

And back to the “restricted access” topic. Who decides what is restricted? Here in a America we are super weird about nudity and sexuality. Other places wouldn’t want their general population to know the recipe for napalm.

I fundamentally disagree with the premise someone else telling me what information I am allowed to see or not. Any version of state or government ran media storage will have those issues.

Who pays for the storage? Who pays for the servers? Who does upkeep? What about any media that state deems harmful or illegal?

Pirates have been doing a better job keeping media alive than any state of government ever will. Governments can be corrupted. Pirates are a decentralized collective.

Private collections will be how legacy media lives on. Not through some state sponsored bullshit.

I would assume most nations would treat this the same as them bombing a radio tower in the 40s. Absolutely an act of war.

If nukes didn’t exist you can bet your butts that most of these countries would not be playing around like this. The only reason they could even think doing that might be a good idea is because they know that nobody wants to kick off nuclear war. Still just seems like an unnecessary bear to poke if you ask me.

Cutting an undersea cable that one or multiple countries spent millions or billions on seems like a really good way to piss off a lot of people really quickly.
