I don’t even see wrongs, just one being childish and the other petty… but hey, if Archive guy decides to burn down his Library of Alexandria I believe we fully deserve losing all that information forever.

I mean, wikipedia is all maintained by unpaid volunteers, and from the 184 million dollars they got from donations last year alone only about 2% were spent on running the service, and they can’t do what one guy on his garage does for free for the whole world and now they want to play the high horse? Fuck them.

The guy is being targeted by very big actors, they all reference a single blog, and check if the people associated with The Pirate Bay or Wikileaks had any good time when they were targeted by those actors… yeah, surprise surprise the guy is big antisocial and acted antisocial, giving a 404 to the media links wouldn’t change what is already out there, and using his resources to target the blog bandwidth to try to force it offline after having his requests denied was… questionable… Streisand effect blah blah blah, but didn’t hurt the users, and apparently not even the blog, I think the choice is very clear: Siding with one guy that has been doing fantastic preservation work for the whole world for free for more than a decade VS Siding with random blogger that tried to uncover his identity and, after having his article used to harass the guy, still decided to not take it down temporarily.

Oh, the antisocial weirdo said some childish and questionable shit, time to cancel him! Don’t worry, some perfect beacon of morality PR posterboy approved by the HR sensibility training will show up to pick up the work… not.

This is hilarious haha
And turns out a lot of tech genius doing very important work for public good aren’t very well in the head, and that’s ok,

The other day I was writing in my notebook and then I opened it later to check, and everything that I wrote was there! If someone could get their hands on my notebook, they could read all my notes!

Thank you. I replied to another comment in this thread https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61581354/23757784 but it might be a gross oversimplification and faulty recall. Yeah, I do think Russia claiming “denazification” is quite ironic, but until it was about protecting separatist regions instead of attacking others, I had a more clear opinion on the matter (as per that comment). After 2022 I prefer to not be so loud and absolute about it.

I don’t know of it being archived, I don’t have contact with anyone from these networks anymore, but I didn’t want to talk about Donetsk and Lugansk because perspectives change, and I don’t know if the situation of today is the same as it was 12 years ago.

Being a South American myself, every time we “vote wrong” the Western powers sponsor coups or simply invade us to change the government, so despite reading from afar, I saw too many similarities, and my take was that after the government didn’t side with Western powers, the mass media started a generic campaign against corruption to mobilize public anger - all so common here. Literal nazis were the shock troops leading the violence, as it was denounced by the anarchists documenting all the groups. At the time, it was easy information to find, even Google wasn’t so enshitified, so you could find some noblogs or Indymedia content as well… (I think Rosa Negra was starting at the time, perhaps they might have information), but recently I tried to find it again and it’s easier to find (on English-speaking internet, at least) allegations saying that Azov isn’t nazi at all and it’s just Russian propaganda, than their own pictures and speeches showing they are literal nazis (same for other the other groups I mentioned in the post).

Everyone that was against this nazi-enforced coup was labelled pro-Russian, regardless of whether they were just against a nazi-enforced coup. Opposition was outlawed and persecuted, and then the regions that had a clear majority against the coup, which to my surprise nowadays is called the Revolution of Dignity, started being bombed and slaughtered for not recognizing the new government. They organized and had clear, internationally observed referendums about their self-determination, but it was dismissed and ridiculed by Western media and governments, and this is where Russian active support to these regions enters.

I don’t believe for a second in Russia’s good intentions, but I believe for people so cornered, they accept support from anyone. I also believe that Russia expanding the conflict outside of the separatist regions forced people outside of them to support anyone on their side (but since actual Ukrainian left organizations were outlawed, it’s kinda hard to know their take on all of that…).

However, Western media and social media platforms were always pro-Western agenda. American liberals eat that shit like cornflakes and pose as “left” on the internet, so all that was opposed was dismissed as Russian propaganda, etc, etc, even what I’d read from Ukrainian anarchist sources. So it was always kinda pointless taking it to Twitter or so because of the American “left”. There are a lot of activists that are now mature and are probably very knowledgeable about theory and praxis and current events, but that I fear had their formative “rebel” years on Twitter and its narratives (not anyone’s fault, it’s hard to find information on your own when you don’t have anyone to help you, and liberals do pose as rebels on Twitter). So that’s why I wonder if there is a generational information gap, because when I see leftist (including anarchists) support for the Ukrainian government nowadays, well, it’s kinda weird compared to what I knew of the situation. But I do recognize I don’t have nearly enough information about how everything developed to really have an opinion worth being heard (but back then, I think being anti-maidan wasn’t polarizing at all among anarchists and other socialist groups).

Hmm, I have a blink and a gecko browser on desktop and mobile, and open the site on both to check how it’s being displayed :S

I hear a lot of people complaining about sites breaking on Firefox, but I never experienced that, only on secure forks that removed canvas, webgl and webgpu.

I have a few static sites as well and I use JS. The only thing I noticed changing, that can push elements weirdly, is scroll bars, buttons, the default audio player… but you can edit those with css to look similar on both browsers.

Did France government really say anything or was just one cop in one newspaper saying they don’t like GrapheneOS because they can’t crack it?
That being said, Fediverse and GrapheneOS are hardly comparable, and no company anywhere will try to cover for you in an investigation, in any country if the police shows up with an order to check acc creation info and logged IPs the service will comply or will be responsible for whatever you are using it to do.
