Were they trying to win?

Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

"And I said, you know, these are the same young Black boys we're trying to get to pull up their pants. We don't need them aspiring to something like that."

You're trying to get them to pull up their pants, but they shouldn't aspire to wearing a suit, either?

"It was a lot of work trying to get Frederick Douglass recognized in his own home,"

That was his birthplace. Rochester, NY was his home.

Academics have already run those numbers. It's already a decided issue among those who will actually do the preservation what the preferred method is, for which purposes. And no one is saying you can't have multiple purposes or preserve multiple formats, (in fact, that, too, is preferred) except those arguing cost, who, like they do with climate change, want to ignore established science as well as what those actual costs will be.

Not just me. There's plenty of academic research on the subject. Here's the Library of Congress' preferred format for preservation of all types of documents. https://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/index.html

I'm totally willing to bet any pdf will be unreadable in 1000 years. Low-acid paper, not only possible, but likely.

Not to mention the way "gatekeepers" is used inside the article to refer to the media companies that are being targeted, and not the EU gatekeeping those companies' practices within the EU. This story is designed to be misleading all around.

Much less expensive than maintaining the digital format they're scanned into over hundreds of years, or upgrading the format each time the technology evolves. Eventually you reach a point where it's better to re-scan into the new format rather try to upgrade for the 50th time. But then you haven't maintained the originals. Under the right conditions, paper can last thousands of years.

Who's upvoting this bot? That summary makes little sense...

Rice, sardines, kimchi, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil.

I have no idea how to block an instance. I only just figured out I can block communities.

The voices had a weird pacing, too. They sounded very close to real but just not quite, in an uncanny-valley sort of way.

Those... those are exactly the same.

Using the word "server" is super confusing to me. My kid has a rack of servers in his room. Can I join one of those? No. They're not Mastodon or Lemmy servers. But I'm not joining the specific piece of hardware in some storage locker owned by Lemmy or Mastodon, either. Everything on the Internet is on a server. So what's different, here?

I think your analogy is a good one, well, a better one. If you're reading a newspaper, I think people have a better, inherent, understanding that the news might be different from paper to paper. But that's less the case on TV or the Internet. It's just news, regardless of source -- it's so monopolized.

Lemmy and Mastodon are "just the internet" to most people. A lot of them don't even distinguish social media as a separate category. They only see the presentation format of, say, Facebook or Twitter as different, and that's less and less the case all the time, as companies compete for each other's users. They don't really see them as different services, just different brands.

Source: I'm the person who teaches them to reset their passwords, how to print their paystubs, and how to get on Facebook.

I feel heard. I'm not sure the recommendation is a good one, but at least someone is trying to solve my problem.

God, that article was shit. Thanks for asking, so I didn't need to.

So naive.

How to kill a decentralized network (such as the fediverse)

A&E stands for Art & Entertainment. Before it was biographies it was cultural programming, like An Evening at the Improv, Breakfast with the Arts, and Live by Request (concerts). Same with Bravo, with fine arts and film.

Of course it makes little sense that he would go along with this. But why in god's name would she want to stay married to someone she doesn't trust with his own children?
