    I know it’s dumb to feel sad about computers and software getting shutdown, but it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

    Sadly, something we all have to get used to. Everything we do is ephemeral and the next guy will likely have better/different ideas on how to do things.

    Basically everything I’ve ever built has been torn down or somehow bastardized eventually.





  • I don’t think you need to be dysphoric to want to be forgotten. I don’t think it’s any less reasonable than wanting to have a legacy.

    The real question is, what does the “right to be forgotten” even mean? You can’t have a right that involved other peoples’ thoughts. In most cases I think it’s the right to be able to own and remove records you created on third party systems.

    The right to be forgotten, as I usually read it, is the right to have Google or Meta or whatever to remove your account and everything associated with it. I wish that were law.
