It interested me for 5 seconds, you think I can afford not being able to find it again in 7 years??
What if the copy on my server IS the last copy!?!
better print it off then, keep it safe in the filing cabinet of essays I’ll read one day.
The internet archive also has music, if thats more likely to be something you regularly go engage with :)
You forgot your friend Anna in the picture.
I only download stuff from there that I’m highly motivated to read because I feel bad for wasting the bandwidth otherwise
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.
May I introduce you to friendliness, warmth and sharing? 🐀

Why does this feel like AI?
Edit: the mouse is too big to fit through the tunnels and there are 5 buttons instead of 4
I hate ai too but you might be missing the forest for the trees
Nah, the fake trees are getting better at blending into the forest.
This images has some tells that is was generated, it’s possible some post clean up was done but when’s the last time you’ve seen a mug with two handles? I’ll admit those do exists, so it could be the artist’s choice. On the painting on the book case, splitting the mouse’s head in half is also certainly a choice…
Looking at the “game” it self, someone else mentioned the mouse doesn’t fit in the tunnels. The gaps are inconsistent as well, some areas of the map are inaccessible, regardless of the characters Sir. The big cheeses are all different, and some of the cheese dots go over the green walls. Those aren’t mistakes someone would make by hand, especially considering the amount of detail in the rest of the image. If it was a kid’s doodle, I’d be a bit more forgiving.
AI is getting better, it’s hard to tell what is and what isn’t AI at a glance, especially when a human cleans up some of the obvious mistakes. These days you really have to scrutinize an image on the technical details/logic of it to decide.
Lol
Nobody got the reference
And yeah the images are mostly AI slop XD though not since all the time, they have banners since years
Cause it is generated. There are some mistakes in it, but I personally only notice them after a more in depth look. The biggest tell for me is the piss filter. A lot of these will be yellow toned for some reason. Also makes the image look more warm. Warm like piss.
Ai slop ruins everything
People who archive do it to make sure things are not permanently lost to corporate greed.
Data hoarders are saving us all
Yep.
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.
Save it before AI rewrites it
Read it all, no, won’t live long enough. Grep (or full index) it all to find something obscure, priceless.
Make sure to seed them
Me too, you can’t read it before you’ve downloaded it… Unless it’s a physical copy…
My precious unread file library
Got a kobo because I can side load any epub I want.
213 files imported. 13 read.
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.
Get the declassified military manuals before they are slopified
Cant I just be in the War Thunder discord? Just wait a few days and you can probably download all of them in one go
That’s where you get the classified docs
Which would recommend adding to my hoard?
The following stand out to me
- Ranger Handbook TC3-21.76
- Special Reconnaissance and Advanced Small Unit Patrolling
- operations in a low intensity conflict - FM 7-98
- Doctrine for Special Forces Operations - FM 31 20
- TM-21-210-Improvised-Munitions-Handbook
- Fm 31 20 5 special reconnaissance tactics techniques procedures for special forces
Oh…am not the only one I see
I downloaded PDFs of art books I use all the time.
