By this definition of genocide, if Uyghers are being genocided then so are black Americans. So what are you doing about that plank in your eye?

What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? by OprahsedCreature in c/games@lemmy.world

Sounds like those old bdr's should be checked and possibly rearchived 😂. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.

I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.

Blu-rays are a viable backup medium for long-term storage

Does any music genre have a disproportionally high number of highly educated artists? (lemmy.ml)

Was reading about The Offspring due to this post here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2628198

As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.

Is this a trend in Punk Rock or am I noticing a freak coincidence? If not punk rock, is there any genre that stands out in its number of highly educated artists?

I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)? (lemmy.ml)

Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.

I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I'm wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.
