Certain states such as Oregon (where I live) have acts in place regarding forests in general such as the FPA that should prevent the worst, or at least the destruction of forests whether imperatively or by wildfire, from happening.

However, when it comes to other places, I wouldn't even be surprised unfortunately. On the California state border on Highway 199 crossing from Oregon where it's mostly green, you see nothing but Redwoods burned and left in shambles for a few miles, it's gives off goosebumps seeing a natural sight in this awful condition, let alone a supposedly protected state park.

I honestly think the crescents are the best pieces, a nice seasoned and crunchy contrast from the softer (but still glorious) spuds.

What I just said was that archiving for preservation often is done with piracy. You need to get the content one way or another to archive, especially with the vast library on there.

The Internet Archive, even outside of their Wayback Machine, is effectively built on digital piracy in many ways if anything. The reality is that any sort of media, whether it's physical media that was destroyed, or digital media that was deleted or had it's host platform shut down, could possibly never be accessed again unless it's archived, even if that archival was done with piracy.

Mother 3 could be considered impossible to play legally in many ways, with most of the cartridges being sold unofficially with the English ROM hack being preapplied, and the originals starting near 75 dollars on eBay, and Nintendo isn't making any money off it anymore, so in many cases unless you're a collector, it's best to just pirate the game with an English ROM translation.

The Internet Archive also has an archived online library of books that you're free to borrow from, similar to an Overdrive-like platform of sorts, which is great for finding information that isn't publicly available, or to read a book that is simply rare used and not sold anymore or where another copy isn't to be found.

Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, "sponge boy bob", puts name in, "brent boy bob." Abbreviates to bbmb, "m" is pronoun.

Even as a person who's gone through the Almeda fires in Southern Oregon, this is one of the most horrifying videos I've watched. The entire area seems to be engulfed in flames, I hope everyone is able to evacuate safely.

I use a near-base model 2020 M1 Air, 512GB SSD and still 8GB RAM. One thing I can confirm is that this thing very rarely slows down. That being said, I'm a software developer that doesn't do anything THAT rigorous, but I've been able to smoothly do tasks in the background during compiling, and goes through it quickly. I have some friends that do heavy work with Logic Pro, and their base M1s have no problem as well.

So all in all, whilst it ultimately depends on the type of work and intent to be done with it, $3000 is still probably overkill, even with a Mac.

I just started using kbin.social after not really feeling satisfied with Mastodon personally, wanting something more topical like Lemmy, but I still wanted some Mastodon compatibility due to most of my mutuals on the Fediverse using Mastodon. Landed myself here, so far so good!
