This is a very interesting collection on the Internet Archive. While I'm certainly not an Apple cultist (I'm typing this on my Windows laptop!), seeing commercials of people using this technology in the best, most creative ways possible is really inspiring to me.

There's also things like the above image, which gives me ideas about what my ideal workspace would be. I know that focusing on a company's advertising feels a bit off, but I think the material gives off an ideal vision of what a life with technology should be like.

Do you have any similar thought, or anything else to share?

Wow what an early 1980's edition of apple before the Mac was born. Its amazing that Apple had peak twice one in the 1980's and one in the 2000's when Steve Jobs had a second stint at the company.

oistepanka: Hey! Hope you guys are well! Oct 11, 2024 22:30:12 GMT

oistepanka: Have you heard the news about the ddos attack on the Internet Archive? Really wild day. Oct 11, 2024 22:30:47 GMT

purelyconstructive: Hi oistepanka Hope you are doing well too! Yes, I had heard. They got DDOS'd a few times and then someone stole the info for ~31 million user accounts through a JavaScript vulnerability. So, IA went down to assess their security. The hacker who claimed re Oct 12, 2024 16:41:51 GMT

purelyconstructive: ...The hacker who claimed responsibility said it was done because "USA supports Israel's genocide." I won't comment on the political dimensions of it, but I think it would be tragic if IA went down permanently... Oct 12, 2024 16:42:25 GMT

purelyconstructive: ...like the torching of a modern Library of Alexandria. Generally, the tensions of human relationships are relieved through greater knowledge and empathy, not less. Oct 12, 2024 16:42:40 GMT

oistepanka: Greater knowledge certainly gives humans more empathy. You are absolutely right. I heard many learned about the history of the current political conflict on IA. Oct 12, 2024 21:46:35 GMT

oistepanka: It's one thing if they went after the library of congress but IA is the peoples library. Oct 12, 2024 21:47:07 GMT

oistepanka: Which means this is a excellent time, as soon as IA comes back online, to start archiving information and owning it on our hard-drives so in case this happens there are decentralized back ups. Oct 12, 2024 21:47:21 GMT

artemis: wow i hadn't heard any of that, thankyou for sharing that Oct 13, 2024 7:44:44 GMT

purelyconstructive: artemis Np!

oistepanka I know right! People were speculating that, since IA has no ties to pro-Zionist groups, it was possibly a hack-for-hire by someone who is afraid of people having access to some type of info that was on there...But what exactly? Oct 13, 2024 21:20:22 GMT

purelyconstructive: The recent and ongoing court cases complicate the situation as well. Anyhoo, you are right. It is good to backup important documents (technical, historical, etc.). Oh, and change your password if you had an account. Oct 13, 2024 21:23:23 GMT

lesostep: Hello, everyone! Found this forum when I've noticed the some of my my links to yesterweb stopped responding, and decided to investigate. Glad I have found this, yours is a lovely community Oct 16, 2024 8:57:07 GMT

purelyconstructive: Greetings lesostep Glad that you could make it aboard The Web Raft. Welcome! After the capsizing of the Yesterweb, First Mate Ray inflated the emergency life raft. So, here we are enjoying the waves together until we find another shore or let it sink. Oct 16, 2024 14:36:02 GMT

artemis: welcome! Oct 17, 2024 7:38:44 GMT

oistepanka: No problem artemis Nov 9, 2024 3:49:08 GMT

oistepanka: I would suspect the information that people might have access to is anything that lets people learn the true history of the Middle East( or world histo i.e. anything unsanitized. A few libraries in the country I've heard are making certain sections 18 +. Nov 9, 2024 3:53:04 GMT

oistepanka: ^World history Nov 9, 2024 3:53:25 GMT

purelyconstructive: I think most governments present a biased view of their own history and the lands that they occupy, and that bias steadily increases as it becomes more totalitarian. Control of information is a fundamental part of such a regime. Nov 11, 2024 18:42:09 GMT

purelyconstructive: ...In regards to the U.S. specifically, I have heard similar things (e.g.: part of Project 2025 attempts to make schools provide a "sanitized" view of American history). I assume that would mean no mention of government-sanctioned instances of genocide... Nov 11, 2024 18:47:18 GMT

purelyconstructive: ...I don't know for certain though. In general, I feel that history is rarely taught in a way that conveys its importance to one's current circumstances. Nov 11, 2024 18:48:18 GMT
