@Jo NSA standards (can’t speak to GPDR but I doubt they are more stringent) for keytape disposal, which is somewhat similar to typewriter ribbon, allows shredding it. If you don’t have an industrial shredder you could just feed it into a shredder that’s locked on and I suspect it would pull it in off the reel.
@bunnyhero @Jo Here’s a vid of a tiny little shredder designed just for paper tape doing its thing, definitely #oddlysatifying to watch:
(Also consider the implications of the existence of such a device. Hmmm.)
@kadin @bunnyhero @Jo "It's okay, I'm sure we can re-assemble some of it! *sneezes* um, then again..."
@kadin @Jo for real i would like to watch that. i think it would be satisfying?
