I believe it's mandatory to add jpeg when linking to that comic.
If I can't find a well used vintage I'll weather it myself in the deep fryer. I don't do too much, but just a little touch goes a long way.
It would be better to use .PCX or .TGA
The Digital Dark Age is real. At best, we are carving out runes out in a language the future will no longer understand.
What do you have stored on your Zip drives and DAT tapes? Because not only are we carving runes but in fact we are chiselling them into sandstone.
Paper writing will last vastly longer than most digital archive formats. If the data is not actually lost, the devices to read them will be. If we somehow read the data off, it will be incomprehensible gibberish. The file formats could eventually be decoded I suppose, like hieroglyphics. Unless of course they are encrypted….
500 years from now, there will be less information about what we were doing day to day than there is for things that happened hundreds of years ago. If anything is left, it will be the “official” record. In other words, all that will be left are lies.
man, I haven't seen that image in ages. So much nostalgia
