      I wouldn’t be surprised if it were paid by the companies currently battling them over copyright. Bunch of greedy bastards.

      I read yesterday that a study found out that 25% of webpages generated in 2013-2023 are gone forever. Attacking the internet archive maybe has darker motives such as censorship or plainly wanting to erase inconvenient history

            Work has been difficult, mostly due to coworkers lately.

            If I’m blaring Rage, like I have all week, I’m ready to walk or to burn the place down. But I’m a lazy man.

          Or monetizing content. Can’t monetize what is freely available.

          Which I guess that falls under censorship, just for a different reason

      This should be pursued the same way as if you broke into the Louvre and shat on the Venus Di Milo
