Yes. If I want to organize and dedupe what I have then I need enough storage to work on it, a lot of my storage is spinning rust 7-15 years old, and if I have the space I’m going to use it. I have family photos and a music library going back to 2005. Too many things like old games need custom fixes installed to work correctly on modern hardware, and the internet isn’t as permanent as it was cracked up to be.
There’s plenty of reasons to hold on to older data.
I get that per Wikipedia, the source of these is:
In the Spring 2003 issue of the secular humanist magazine Free Inquiry, Laurence W. Britt, who is described as “a retired international businessperson, writer, and commentator” published “Fascism Anyone?”, which included a list of 14 defining characteristics of fascism.
But you have to get that a random unsourced image of white text on a black background is some real “trust me bro” Facebook shares from Grandma type shit.
Getting tired of “it’s okay when our side does it because we’re right, but we’ll clown on it when the bad people do it because they’re wrong”. Just be better.
And while I’m complaining, the source of these is a fucking editorial by someone with no actual credentials or qualifications to declare this shit. Now it’s being passed around online like it’s certifiable fact because it sounds accurate.
All of those are problems. All of those are bad. What is happening in the USA is bad. But muddying the waters by taking random bullshit like this as certified fucking fact only makes talking about shit harder, as everyone has their own set of things they think are truth, most of which have been latched on to for no reason more than “it sounds right and reinforced my beliefs”.
Grumble grumble grumble
Wish my company allowed that. Everything goes to a licensed secure destruction service that literally puts them through an industrial shredder. Awesome to watch, but wasteful as all hell.
