      I use the word “archiving” because it’s a universally understood concept that even survives translation.

          fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:

          “I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”

          the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.

        People don’t even realize anymore they’ve adopted corpo speach. They’re getting told it’s “professional”, “neutral” and all that jazz. Especially the “neutrality” bullshit, perfect breeding ground for manipulators to plant nonsense. And we all know all those corpos perfected the art of mass manipulation to the point they employ whole departments to do it and pay politicians to dance by their fiddle.

        Notebookcheck.net tries to report “neutral”, and it fucking shows.
