Man I miss the times when Google used to trick us into helping make knowledge more easily accessible to everyone. Now we just train fucking AI for luxury cars.
It's alright for free. The slow downloads are still perfectly usable unless there are server-side issues, and they also provide links to other mirrors (libgen.li, which is still up, Z-lib, and IPFS).
It is implied that the "earliest indication" of pants is the sculpture on the right, which makes it even more silly. It's not even ancient cloth that was preserved to prove the existence of pants, but a stone sculpture that showed a person wearing them.
Good question. In my country (I've had some contact with people who work in the area) apparently they aim to keep films on film stock, as it is supposedly the most reliable format for long-term preservation, though they also have digital copies too. Now, I wouldn't expect them to retroactively put a digital film on analog stock (anyway, the archive is still primarily working on gathering and preserving the existing film heritage of the country from across the previous century), but the purely digital stuff will hopefully also get whatever is regarded as the most reliable long-term medium. I could personally ask one guy who works there when I get the opportunity, though I don't think I'd get the opportunity any time soon...
Do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia", do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia", do not Google "HIV/AIDS in Russia"...
I guess they request the distributor/streaming service to send them a digital copy.
Did you know that there are countries out there other than USA, Russia, Ukraine and China?
But how do we know this statistic is not fake news too?
Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?
Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month...
I learned about furries' existence on 4chan many years ago, and I definitely don't think that site was healthy at any point in time.
