One of my previous bosses, the Archivist for the State of -redacted for privacy-, had one of these (or very very similar prototype format) that he kept in his briefcase.
Whenever someone in a meeting would say something along the lines of “we don’t need to worry about that/budget money for that/do that, everything is digital now!” He would pull this bad boy out of his briefcase and say “this has digital files on it, please access them. Oh, you can’t? Well what about this? or these?” And pull out a selection floppy discs and CD types.
And that is how he fought the good fight for a budget for the archives because digital preservation is expensive and difficult and there are a million different hardware and software types and technological obsolescence is a nightmare.

the good thing is we don’t have to defend kevin day online ever again partly because he’s lovely when he’s not under life-ending threats and partly because jean moreau is doing it already with a fervor that borders on insanity

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

The writer part of my brain is still stuck on "a story is true, a story is untrue" and "we are still writing our story, we haven't even chose our villain" and "you know everything you need to know" and "they teach the children to fear the dark" and "all I want is to be remembered".
Like, those characters are almost meta-aware of being part of a story and they make use of that awareness.
It's almost haunting thinking about the power of narratives and stories, about how they change us/what we're writing/how we perceive us/how we let other perceive us.

Reblogging this just for the essays titles and to add that the fascinating thing about stories is that the monsters are what we do not know and nothing is really monstrous.

crying because an elf prince, dwarf lord and a fucking king of men dropped everything and ran over 100 miles with barely any rest, to rescue a couple of halflings (who were worth nothing outside the shire, and functionally little more than a burden) because they were their friends.
screaming and throwing up because the golden boy of gondor, the steward's eldest son and his pride and joy; noble heir of the house of húrin, sacrificed his life for those self-same halflings
#crying because this is so damn true#lotr#oh i miss it#the treasure was the friends we made along the way and that's true for the hobbit AND lotr#i will die on this hill
