MistyAnd this is why you don’t store floppies next to acidic paper.
Clara@misty Ok, real talk, with all the nasty shit acidic paper does (ruins coins, apparently ruins floppys), why do we still use it?
@rallias For context, the floppies were fine - it's the paper that degraded from being in contact with the floppy's plastic.
But also, we don't use it as often anymore! Lower-quality acidic paper was far more common up until the 80s/early 90s. Acidic paper is cheaper but a lot stuff uses decent-quality paper now.
@misty I suppose that's fair, I guess I felt the need to vent considering that multiple hobbies that I have specifically caution against using acidic paper.
