gollark: A society with access to the computers and software necessary to decode the bee movie would also likely have the movie itself anyway. So you should put an archive of various software and technical documentation on too.
gollark: Ah, but flash memory loses data if it's left unpowered pretty fast. ~~He~~ You overthought the wrong bit of it. Blu ray discs would be better.
gollark: Though websites being bloated messes packed with inefficient programming, JS all the time for no reason, and ads doesn't help. My site is optimized for load speed, and I got core stuff down to about 20kB a page and do aggressive service worker caching, but most sites do *not* do this.
gollark: Web standards are insanely complex and getting more complicated by the day as they pile on more extensions for USB and Bluetooth and WebAssembly (though I like that one) and exotic CSS features.
gollark: <@343573410531639296> Don't blame browsers for the horrible mess that is web standards. With Unicode even TEXT RENDERING is a nightmare. https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hates-you/
