I've cut down on collecting a lot. I used to collect and save for "one day" in the future, but the future is already here and I'm going to be in my 40s soon. So I need to start enjoying what I have before its really too late. No more buying stuff for later (it's only going to get worse).

Yes they can, everything is stored on physical media whether it be discs or harddrives. It will all decay and fail eventually. Even a stone tablet will erode when exposed to weather.

Why do you care so much about eventual dust then?
>>
>>729404007
The wild west of the internet will either end or the entire internets functionality will be washed away in a deluge of AI slop and cyber security fuckery, but regardless it is dying and so, so much is going to be lost in the process. The internet will make the Library of Alexandria look like a fucking joke. YouTube alone will.

The only thing in this world that is eternal is the Word of God. Matthew 24:35. Repent, the day of judgment is coming.

>>729404865
I don't agree, the Library of Alexandria was a single place, where as complete rom sets exist on thousands of hard drives accross the world. Yeah, the wild west could wipe ROM sets off the public internet, but as long as people are diligent then the data will continue to exist and persist. Yeah some day in 10,000 years blah blah blah, but as long as there is interest and not a cataclysmic event that nukes all data at once like a solar flare, I think people will continue to be able to share these things.
>>
>>729404007
Digital data doesn't exist as a physical object. You can only store digital data on physical objects which will eventually erode.

Where's the original 1973 Doraemon anime?
>>
>>729404865
the internet already makes the Library of Alexandria look like "a joke". it is a million times more voluminous than the library was.

the library of Alexandria was, btw, systematic piracy. Here's how it works:
>a ship docks in Alexandria
>officials of the library board the ship and borrow any books they do not possess a copy of
>they make a copy for the library, then return the original
>this is compulsory
this is how you build the worlds biggest library. it's basically what AI companies have done, though the AI companies are doing it on a massive scale.

I wish, Meta pirated a free library and didn't seed it.

That has already been happening since the internet's inception, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot we just haven't had a large company with a bunch of data going belly up as badly as GeoCities did at least.
>The wild west of the internet will either end or the entire internets functionality will be washed away in a deluge of AI slop and cyber security fuckery
Honestly it's already over, governments are doubling on internet policing and most traffic is on a few social media sites. No one self-hosts anymore.

Data degradation shit my ass. I still have ancient vids from literally 2001 still fully functional , in shitty ass 200p or 144p crappy resolution.
Thats a quarter CENTURY old vids and data from the very early internet.
Just store your fucking discs properly without scratching them or melting them, and make a copy or two every decade and you're good to go for AEONS
>>
>>729406470
well, the Library of Alexandria was not open to everyone. only the elite/scholars/priests/people with permission got in there. it was as much a pagan religious institution as it was a library.

But yeah the concept of a Library for hard to get works is somewhat silly, with a global trade in books the rules are different, and the AI companies reason for pirating the entire internet is different from the reasons for the Library at Alexandria. but the basic tactics (ruthlessly making copies without asking for permission) is the same

Nothing is more aesthetic than a SNES CIB collection. Prove me wrong.
>>
>>729407818
what is the lifespan of an SNES cart? they use a CMOS battery to preserve the save state, because it's all solid state there's no drive to write to. i've never had a cart just fail but surely they eventually corrode/short out, maybe less common than more fragile media of today. i remember SNES carts were designed to take abuse.

Alexandria was actually part of a much larger network of libraries that spanned the Roman Empire.
The Romans even had reading materials in the public baths that would be read aloud sometimes on the weekends.
I think there were over 36 libraries in Rome alone. All of which slowly disappeared, mostly because government funding was cut off over the centuries.
>>
>>729408050
Batteries will die after a while. How long? Who knows. Maybe 10 years is the minimum, but most of my original carts from the early 90s still work. I've got a bunch of replacement batteries holders to solder in when I get some practice and they start failing. The ROM chips as far as I know aren't known to fail.

How topical.
>>
>>729407707
>it was as much a pagan religious institution as it was a library.
True, it wasn’t like our modern concept of a library, where you can borrow a book to take home and read later.
It was more like a fancy book lounge.
It was also very pagan in tradition which why their public funding got slowly cut off as the emperors/government became more Christian.

the roman currency was ruthlessly debased as they went further and further into debt, it's not that they wouldn't pay for libraries but that they couldn't afford them any longer
