 @sstrader I think this NYT story really does a great job of highlighting just how dangerous this has all been for the archive. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/13/business/media/internet-archive-emergency-lending-library.html @ernie ahhhhh, duh. <he says as he goes to up his monthly donation>. Internet Archive is one of the few sites from the Halcyon days of early tech optimism that truly has lived up to what we all dreamt of. Goddamn these corporations |
