What will come after they erase all history?
>>
just look at the example of christianity, they will deny it, and then point out the internet still exists therefore they saved the information

Reminder that there were writings about the danger of digital files as the basis of society all the way back in the 70s and 80s.

In France there were people who destroyed computer systems and wrote to the papers explaining all of this. (No one was caught).

If you want to fight this, return to physical, preferably non-digital, media.

Nigger how poor are you that you can't afford cardboard boxes and bookcases?

>>542091084
oh sorry I thought you were talking about getting slightly more books than you need... not to mention guarding it against niggers

>John Dee's library was a legendary 16th-century private collection in Elizabethan England, containing roughly 3,000 printed books and 1,000 manuscripts at his home in Mortlake
>The library was pillaged and scattered in 1583 while Dee was traveling in Europe

you can physically store digital files (in fact, they are already all physically stored)
a file being digital doesn't dictate the type of storage media
there's nothing inherently bad about storing textual information in binary representation, because it's just another alphabet
books can be burned, or banned, or altered, and it might be argued that storing a book as a binary representation lasered into crystal is superior an archival medium, as compared to ink daubed on glued-together slivers of flammable dried wood pulp

electronically-stored digital files being more easily deletable doesn't mean they're more ephemeral, because they're duplicated just as easily, far moreso than a book

your argument doesn't make sense to me

I have nearly 200 on a single book case, and I'm just some guy not an aristocrat with the ear of the monarch.

Cool. I have a blu ray full of information. Tell me how, in your end-of-the-world extreme situation I get information off it. Digital media as a backup can't be defended at the extreme, but then treated as the extreme not existing when it comes to accessing it. You can't abandon a hypothetical argument half way through to argue your point.
>>
>>542091467
he is right
you might think you are safe with your printed book, but editing it, printing it, binding it, and swapping out your beloved copy would be just as easy (if they care so much) as editing digital copies
the media being physical made a difference in the era of manuscripts, not in the era of printing

History is whatever the ruling power says it is as long is there is no accepted alternative and or proof to the contrary

How do you print it? Seriously think about this before you answer.
>>
>>542091536
>I have nearly 200 on a single book case,
so 15 book cases do not need at least a room of their own? you are obviously not an aristocrat, as you would need to have 85 IQ and not to shit in the middle of the street in order to be one

why would I print it?

What if i don't have tens of thousands of euros to spend on a crystal reading and writing device?

CLODO talked about this (the aforementioned French anti-computer lot). They pointed out that when history is nothing but files that can be edited then the past belongs to those at the keyboard.

Paper archives can be destroyed of course, but their absence leaves a hole that is by itself telling. Look at the way people look at the redactions of the Epstein files. The black bars are themselves information.

>>542091635
Not everyone needs to be an archivist. In a doomsday scenario quantity is better than centralisation. Stop thinking in such a top-down way.

>>542091664
>why would I print it?
Because you said:
>the media being physical made a difference in the era of manuscripts, not in the era of printing
>in the era of printing

But fine, let's assume that you're not printing it but merely accessing it. Describe this access.
>I plug it into my computer
What computer? Does it have a USB port? Can it read those files?
>>
>>542091760
because that issue was not addressed to me; but I answered it, as a reply to another post

This is an Apple II floppy disk. Tell me how you access it.

>>542091884

So a digital file can't be deleted or edited after the fact?

I won't waste any more of my time talking to schizo hags like you.

I literally just opened a text file that said "pee pee" and changed it to say "poo poo," then hit CTRL-S.

I win.

What history do you want preserved? If it's important to you, print it out or buy the book.
Whether you save it as a file on a floppy, DVD, blu-ray, what will it matter when kids can't fucking read today?

>>542091960
>This is an Apple II floppy disk.
Apple Lisa is only machine that ever used that kind of disk, so you'd have to buy a working Lisa.

They require techonology to access that will soon disappear and is not reproduceable by a person. You sound dumb.

This argument has been made for over 50 years now and there's yet to be a techno-fetishist response other than insults.

Read the Apple II floppy.
Make your own computer.

imagine becoming an anti-computer nigger just a few years after affordable and capable personal computers became available to the public... and not before, when only government and big businesses could afford them

A new world endlessyly created from the zero'd out bits of the old. Leading to new discoveries and unearthing rare instances of archeotech buried in ancient hardrives.
and endless cycle of the digital world.
