I thought the fact that a webcomic I've enjoyed for years is no longer working and may be unfixable was scary.
TURNS OUT SOMETHING EVEN WORSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

You are spending your dw life chasing an internet life that doesn't exist. And the people that created it have the right to take it down, to not contest other legal battles.

Date: Fri, Nov. 22nd, 2019 04:18 (UTC)I know it's never going to be exactly how it was when I found it, but I'd like to not have to worry about the possibility of anything on the Internet I like - or even ALL of it - being taken down (by their creators or otherwise) the next time I turn around.
And it's harder to cope with it if a whole bunch of worrisome things happen at once, like what's happening right now (a webcomic I like gets broken due to a PHP upgrade, possibly may not be fixable, and then right after that it turns out that there's new laws that might go into effect on YouTube that might unintentionally hurt channels I like).
You are spending your dw life chasing an internet life that doesn't exist.
Because it DID exist, once, but I didn't get around to seeing it at that point because I still can't cope well with the fact that years ago I made the mistake of going on a long hiatus from several sites I enjoyed.
I'm accepting the fact that there's already a lot that I permanently missed out on seeing because of it. But I'd like to be able to catch up on what I can before any more of it disappears. :(
