"You don't have the right to anything that requires you to take something from someone else!" You dillholes never seem to have a problem with the taxes required to pay for road paving, or the fire department, or anything else that serves your personal protection or convenience. But somehow as soon as it's time to feed the starving and house the homeless, taxation is suddenly theft

MEMORIES와 걸판 극장판의 4K 리마스터링을 진행한 전문가와의 인터뷰.

M은 35mm 필름을 재스캔. 4K 대응은 무리가 없다고. 당시 영사기나 브라운관 TV를 고려한 배색을 현대 디지털 디스플레이에 맞게 수정했다고. 오토모 감독이 필름 그레인을 없앤 선택도 흥미롭다.

걸판은 원본이 2K라고. 편집 과정에서는 더 큰 해상도가 있지만 최종 완성본은 FHD. 이걸로 극장에 걸던 시대가 멀게 느껴진다.

디지털 영상 데이터는 열화되지 않지만 그 스펙은 빠르게 뒤쳐진다. 영화 35mm 필름은 4K까지 대응하지만 정작 한참 뒤 영화의 디지털 원본이 2K였다는 점은, 장기 보존 관점에서 주의할만한 사례다.

“Canada did not sign the letter, Environment and Climate Change Canada confirmed to CBC News Friday.”

Canada is a problem.

A huge problem.

Our Prime Minister is in the Middle East instead of COP. That's all you need to know.

We're all so screwed right now... the world... all of us.

Our leaders in ‘developed' countries cannot extricate their minds from the Fossil Fuel industry and it's going to kill us all, or at least a very large proportion of us.

Red Cross to cut 2026 budget by 17%, shed 2,900 jobs

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it’s cutting its 2026 budget by 17 percent because of declining donor contributions and will slash 2,900 staff positions.

“As defence budgets surge, states must also put more effort and resources into preventing conflicts, defending the rules of war, and providing humanitarian relief. Failure to do so risks a world of ever more and greater suffering.”

I boosted something about this, but it seems to have vanished. So here is a very young Cory Doctorow (@pluralisticCory Doctorow) explaining with great enthusiasm some of the things that were on the internet in 1995, like Usenet and the Internet Underground Music Archive. I have to say, we've lost a lot of really cool stuff!

WOMEN'S...

It must be nice to be someone's happiness,

When they embrace you, hug you tightly,

Kiss your cheeks, your lips, and your wrists,

Funny, but only your other half...

It must be nice to be someone's sunshine,

When you touch their palms with a ray,

When you give all your love, to the bottom,

Only to the one who understands you with their soul.
