Mastodawn

Entire chapters of internet culture grew up in Flash. When it was switched off, most of it should have disappeared forever. But it didn't, thanks to the efforts of the software preservation community and dedicated archivists.

Flash is just part of the story of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book exploring the fight to preserve our fragile digital history.

This video could have even been evidence of a crime. Spread across multiple platforms…but will ‘platforms’ have to consolidate as much as national allies? Do I HAVE to use the tablet ‘irl’ tt account? And then the mff substack when I get one. One. Not sure how I feel anymore about having just one ‘internet’ biller. I only have one credit union to pay them through.

Just under thirty seconds to test ATT more than mastodon, and ANT just a little.

I wouldn’t have needed a pocket laptop to convince anyone in 2002 that anyone would SOON would be able to upload any LIVE video to ANYONE’s website. #tothemoon
