I have a problem believing he thought is wholesome. to celebrate violence or lack of empathy.

No, I’m trying to understand why someone would store so many pictures. 20TB is enough for 330 4K movies or 10,000 1080P movies.

“Just in case I need it” is the principle of hoarding.

Music we listen to many times but it barely uses any space for today’s standards.

Streaming TV is always something different, so, no point in storing it.

And movies? There may be a few favourites we watch again and even if they were 4K wouldn’t use that much space. 20TB is space enough for 330 4K 2 hour movies! Or 10,000 1080P movies. Let’s say that your job is to watch movies 8 hours a day. That’s 4 movies per day, that’s 500 weeks to watch 10,000 movies. Or 10 years (if you take a two week vacation every year). And that’s without repeating.

Let’s say you have 100 favourite movies that you like to watch on demand on 4 K (really an exaggeration) you only need 6 TB.

Si, my question stands.

The real question is:

How do people have so much media to fill up those drives?

Followed by: how do people have so much time to watch that media?

Followed by: human driven climate change is real. How can people waste energy just to hoard media that they rarely ever see again?

I understand somehow if you are torrenting and contributing to the sharing ecosystem, but just hoarding?

Your signature is your mark. Uniquely identifying. It doesn’t need to be your name.

I originally signed with name and last name plus a squiggle. I got tired of that and many years ago I changed it to my 4 letter first name barely legible. Way better more consistent than the variance writing my full name.

Butnintinknwe aware saying the same. Cursive is illegible, so. A bunch of squiggles is good enough. Some people call it cursive.

Note: other than nostalgia, I don’t understand why cursive. Barely legible even by the original writer.

Beat me to it. That was my first thought.
