Stupid stuff that comes to mind that we want to post

It’s so weird hearing people say that when a show or movie exclusive to a streaming service is removed it’s “gone” like the film print, master tape or hard drive containing the master files was destroyed or erased as opposed to being vaulted like the norm.
I’m sorry, I don’t buy that shit. Especially in 2023 where we have long moved on from that atrocity (for the most part).

The problem is that the people who are suppose to be preserving it aren’t for no good reason.

By “preserving” some people see that as meaning “should be publicly available in some form”.
Problem is, there are countless shows and movies that have not been available for years in any form. Yet not all of these are “lost” or not being preserved. The demand for them is just miniscule.
I’m 100% certain all the shows and movies just pulled from Disney+ and Hulu are in solid state/flash/hard drives/encrypted servers at the Disney archives, just waiting for the next chance to be used again. Studio vaults aren’t just film stock and master tapes anymore.

Eh, that’s a trickier subject. Video game code, especially code designed to run on hardware older than machines today, didn’t really become “valuable” until people started figuring out ways to run the software without needing emulation.
Some cases are inexcusable, though, like the Kingdom Hearts source code which was lost due to Square Enix’s negligence.
Video games were not seen in the same way as movies and shows until very recently.

I’m talking more companies preferring to have games become unplayable and lost forever before allowing emulation.

nobody trusts these companies to ever release them again or worse tamper with their copies.

that angle of it is super frustrating with nintendo because they never rerelease gamecube games but they’ll constantly rerelease old snes games that I have zero nostaliga or care for.

window’s incompetence will likely make that real at some point heck there’s no way I’m downgrading to windows 11.

You will have to swich to Mac unless your willing to give up half your preffered programs. That and it takes learning command line. Just a fair warning.
You do you. I persionally find commandline and electronics a lot of fun.

I’ve already got a linux iso ready to go. I’ve also been considering this switch for a while so I’ve been carefull about using programs that have linux versions honestly I only lose only a small handful of things.

If you ever need help don’t hesitate to message me. The linux forums can be a pain sometimes. I would be more then willing to help solve issues via Bash.
