It interested me for 5 seconds, you think I can afford not being able to find it again in 7 years??

I only download stuff from there that I’m highly motivated to read because I feel bad for wasting the bandwidth otherwise

People who archive do it to make sure things are not permanently lost to corporate greed.

I download concert videos I like from Youtube, less because I want to watch them all the time, but because eventually, some corporation is going to swoop in and delete it all.

You think I’m archiving?
Friend, I’m wholly in this image, filled with shame, but honest enough to admit it.
The linked sites? Those aren’t the subject of the meme, they’re some of the suppliers for my uncontrolled addiction to reading the first paragraph of something, thinking I might want to reference it later and then hitting download and never, ever returning.
It does go in a folder which is never cleaned though, which remains entirely unorganized.

More like the fascist state is going to purge the entire internet of everything except their shitty subscription based llms, so you won’t be able to get any real information anymore. 10 years maybe? Internet will be dead.

Man, I got shop drawings of steam engines I know I will never build. The problem is I just like opening them up and looking at them. They are my precious.

Hey now, I have a huge number of books I have never read but I do need them sometimes, like what the reluctance of 336 stainless that some Dingdong wants to install on this 500kv transformer? That is a book publishled in 1993 that I have looked through once to find that exact thing. Don’t want random pieces of hot metal attached to the equipment.

Me too, you can’t read it before you’ve downloaded it… Unless it’s a physical copy…
