  • I mean, wikipedia is all maintained by unpaid volunteers, and from the 184 million dollars they got from donations last year alone only about 2% were spent on running the service, and they can’t do what one guy on his garage does for free for the whole world and now they want to play the high horse? Fuck them.

    The guy is being targeted by very big actors, they all reference a single blog, and check if the people associated with The Pirate Bay or Wikileaks had any good time when they were targeted by those actors… yeah, surprise surprise the guy is big antisocial and acted antisocial, giving a 404 to the media links wouldn’t change what is already out there, and using his resources to target the blog bandwidth to try to force it offline after having his requests denied was… questionable… Streisand effect blah blah blah, but didn’t hurt the users, and apparently not even the blog, I think the choice is very clear: Siding with one guy that has been doing fantastic preservation work for the whole world for free for more than a decade VS Siding with random blogger that tried to uncover his identity and, after having his article used to harass the guy, still decided to not take it down temporarily.

    Oh, the antisocial weirdo said some childish and questionable shit, time to cancel him! Don’t worry, some perfect beacon of morality PR posterboy approved by the HR sensibility training will show up to pick up the work… not.

    Well, I consider “classics” the ones from the '40s and '50s. My grandparents had a bunch of them on VHS and I’d always watch them when I was a kid, and back then I had no idea they were that old (Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp…). They are all beautiful pieces of animation, and Fantasia is quite interesting from a technical standpoint.
    But my favorite cartoons are probably the ones from the '90s: Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules… - The Lion King was also a great feat of animation. Two other movies I watched a lot as a kid were Oliver & Company and The Aristocats.
    However, as an adult, the only Disney movie I actually like and would rewatch is Cruella (2021)…

    If we count Pixar, Wall-E was also cool, and I watched the first Toy Story tons of times.
