i…. how is it a nazi thing????
The “White man with blond hair and blue eyes” originated as an “Aryan Superior Race” type of thing on like. 4Chan or something.
ok, if that’s true, that doesnt change the fact literally *nobody* uses it like that at all.
i’m not going to bother scraping through the internet to personally find examples, but here is a page explaining Nordic Gamer’s history and common use. it was made and used for racist purposes, and it’s absolutely something white supremacists and nazis co-opt. you just don’t blog where you see it happening.
Very closely related: the blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl meme.
‘it’s just a meme’ get better memes you unfunny fucks
we're so back
No way companies will go back to actually letting you own anything
The image is the article headline of this PC Gamer article:
Article Date: February 23, 2024.
Article excerpt:
Essentially, the process involves stacking hundreds of data-recording layers a mere one micrometer apart, all while keeping the overall thickness of the disc the same as a traditional DVD or Blu-ray.
This much denser physical storage format makes use of 100 layers, which is said to result in a maximum data capacity of 1.6 petabits, or roughly 200 terabytes of storage. That's a gigantic leap over even the most advanced quad-layer Blu-ray disks, that currently top out at around 128 GB of data.
It should come as no surprise that this solution is primarily being developed for enterprise storage. The researchers hope to reduce the space needed for a high-capacity data centre down from a gigantic facility to a single room by switching over to an optical storage solution, which would not only make the centres themselves cheaper to build but also cut down on the associated heat and energy issues that data facilities can currently struggle with.
So it's for making data centers more practical, without overusing space and energy so much!
The article also mentions that the Big Disks, can potentially last 50 to 100 years, vs Hard Drives generally lasting 10 years. So it could be more sustainable and less wasteful.
Consumer-grade Big Disks could be possible once it is more developed, but there would have to be an affordable advanced disk reader made compatible with them since the data is so densely packed.

In the meanwhile, there's a whole world out there...
of physical media with existing CDs and Hard Drives;
ripping / re-encoding / burning on physical media with apps like "HandBrake" and "DVDstyler";
and backing them up. Along with other physical media lovers, non-drm enthusiasts, and digital hoarders.
As is your right to.
Happy Valentine’s Day!! I have more fjorester :D
still working my way through the episodes (ep 33 currently) but I have my bets placed on them.
Also side note the song Nothing Matters by The Last Dinner Party is so them to me, I was just looping it the whole time while working
