“This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted,” Internet Archive director of archiving and data services Jefferson Bailey told the Standard, “like our museums, our historical societies, our public libraries, our academic libraries — just a lot of people that keep information free and accessible and online.”

If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I’m in.
I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”
Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?
Sweet as, I’ll buy a dedicated box and spin up a few instances
For anyone curious to do the same thing, lenovo thinkcentre mini pcs are cheap as chips second hand and make good little homelabs
The equivalent would be seeding a torrent backup.
Well since I stopped paying federal taxes I might as well donate to the IA directly.
Get out of here you rich fucker!
Hahaha, I wish. It’s more that I just stopped paying. I am sure it’ll come back on me later but that’s a future me problem.
“Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”
George Orwell, 1984
They destroy the past to sell you a future. It’s coercion and extortionate.
We have always been at war with Eurasia
Fuck you I won’t don’t do what you tell me. -RATM
Hopefully this galvanizes support for them, like anti-boycotting essentially
Maybe, but likely only temporarily. Bad guys be winning.
Europe here: can we have it? 😅
Exactly what I was thinking. Relocate it to Western Europe, in a country like France they would be showered in public money from local, regional and national funds, then arts preservation funds, then whatever else funds.
It’s easy to see when watching European cinema, a film like Flow has 3 minutes of “thank you” logos at the beginning, for all the public funding from various regions and actors.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
Yup
He looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
…what
I said, he looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
As in, he’s a dick (asshole), that’s a pussy (coward).

The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of “wasteful government spending”
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.
America, where the good stuff is funded on the side.
It sucks because the goal of all of this is privatization. They literally want regular people to pick up the “slack” (that they themselves artificially created) and fund things that are supposed to be public services.
So when they cut shit like this, our options are basically to: let it die, or do the exact thing that they want. Either way, it’s a win for them. It fucking sucks.
Just join the party? Everybody knows the US is a steaming shitshow more than usual.
Sorry, I don’t see what you’re saying
I give 5$ every month to wikipedia. I can give another 5$ to archive.org every month.
Who else is waiting to see “DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia”?
noo I found pages there that where offline for years before I read a mention of them 😥
What’s the size on this can I download a copy
Pedabytes, but you can help in other ways. Donating, uploading and the Archive Warrior. There may be waits to support via torrents too but I do not know.
They also have a merch store: https://store.archive.org/
Trying to burn digital books. Fascism in 2025.
Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.
