This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book.

We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

I love spending a day dealing with vintagestory troubles only for VS 1.22.5 on linux to be catshit and crash every time I'm prompted to download mods from server

I would rather a lowpolly ps2 looking or pixel game with heart than a graphics-slop game that doesn't run on anything but the latest hardware. Who are those games for? in this economy? Can we bring good art direction back into games pls.
