Library (noun): A place where knowledge is treated as a public good and is made accessable to anyone for a small price or completely for free.
Because information shouldn't be capitalized by a select few while using up large amounts of ressources, destroying the environment and make everyone dumb at the same time.
@Natasha_Jay I dream of a world where the local libraries are available online.
The list of books I'd like to read that cost hundreds of pounds and live in educational ivory towers plebs can't access is fucking grim.
Free the knowledge, stuff it in the cloud and make it grep'able.
@[email protected] I support this kind: https://annas-archive.gd/ (that and my ebook reader...)
Can you imagine the paradise if they were intending to spend $2T on libraries over the next 5 years?
I mean, we'd have to eat them and take their money first, obv
Absolutely
today we call it "a USB key, almost empty".
This picture is about the size of the 621. Applied Physics section in the town I grew up. I rode my bicycle there every chance I could get and read every one of those books. I would get an engineering degree.
Books are my quality of life.
