“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.
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.
Time to donate again :)
If you can, donate to them, even just a dollar. The Internet Archive is critical for preserving history! Heck, try to lobby your politicians to donate to them if you’re outside of the U.S. (because that probably wouldn’t work inside the US nowdays)
I started a 5$ monthly donation. I stopped the Mozilla one after they apparently started selling info to corps.
I wished we hadn’t voted for him. Wait a minute…
If you are USian, you did vote for him, either by voting, by not voting, or by not doing enough to prevent it. We on the outside of the US dystopia do get to suffer the consequences without having voted either way.
“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
Best $100 I ever spent.
You are far more generous and capable than I am. I started a monthly 5 dollar donation.
Every penny helps.
Ugh some asshole who’s only going to live a century depriving an endless future of historical knowledge. Musk needs to be detained and imprisoned.
Yes, “detained.” And “imprisoned.” ☠️
He is literally a foreign terrorist. Deport his ass!
ironically hes from a country thats currently being influenced by russia too.
Deport? Dude he is still a man of serious means. It won’t stop him. He needs to be put in a supermax prison and in isolation. It is an intensely cruel punishment but the only appropriate one.
Yes, I like your idea much better
Solitary confinement is absolutely torture, and a supermax prison like USPS Florence ADMAX sometimes make people question if they even exist anymore.
But for people like Elon it is the only appropriate punishment. They need to be isolated from everyone and everything.
They also have a merch store: https://store.archive.org/
Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.
He’s a loser. As are all his “dark enlightenment” apartheid neo-Nazi bootlickers :-)
$345,000?
That’s like, 2 devs and an 8 CPU VM.
That’s 1/100th the price Trump paid to send innocent people to CECOT.
Holy shit, that’s like not even a rounding error to the US Government. So obvious what he is doing.
It’s trully disgusting and inexcusable.
This publicity will probably bring in more money for the internet archive than what was cut.
Still a dick move by musk, but I’m glad it’s not an existential threat to the project.
For a bit.
Public institutions need and deserve public funding.
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.
What is really funny. Did anyone of you gave a 5 minutes to check if there are any official government documentation that this actually happened? Nope. What does the sheep say? Baaaa baa :DDDDD
You can write, but can you read? “The nonprofit was halfway through an NEH grant of $345,000 when its funding was abruptly cut.” If you want the government to document everything they can start with answering the questions from judges. Fuck out of here you goon.
I don’t they can write actually, barely understood that sentence.
get out of here :D
Imagine asking for documentation from this administration to do something legally (see: illegal deportations). Did you even read the article where the director from the Internet Archive had some words about the funding? Or the source article where they listed the cuts and even an a screenshot of a termination notice? Bootlicking is so sad. These morons aren’t gonna help you
yeah right, american goverment changed 180 degrees when trump became president, like thousands of people in the apparatus. If he has such power then i have so many question about bush and 9/11. Funny guy
not 180, just ~120 or possibly less
