there are other measures too. or just build your own crawler bot and spread the word on sites like hackernews and other hacktivist sites. i'd do it if i got time.

sure. don't cry wolf though. you can still gather and protest, you know. at least till the war's over right?

cat256 · 2022-03-06T14:21:41+00:00

yeah, that's kinda interesting. i need to code tomorrow, side hustle today... i'd ask around a bit.

edit: so a simple google search would show the result: anti crawling sites like quora and people in the open source community are working on this. see: https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/issues/228

well it's hardly an exception first of. as of today they have the link, so you could just screenshot last week and post today and fake that. im not saying you did but that is doable. honestly, i don't think it's that big. it's there. they put it back up. just check.

can you bring more examples though? like they run on a limited budget and one exception is not convincing.

while there seems to be genuine democratic support for the recent canadian protests, i don't think it is a good time to draw such comparisons. history has shown time and again that crying wolf in the face of a stronger enemy (russia) will lead to the worst kind of infighting that when looking back everyone finds it regretful.

just checked it still backed those up? also if you know how to code you can find some repos on github that does this automatically on your machine while keep protesting about things like this. also wayback machine did far more good than harm and you can see they got sued pretty bad last year for keeping shit up and available on hackernews.

oh ok will take that one thx

yeah that's kinda unexpected & interesting. idk though. this can be quite complex. for example, the japanese would generally agree that white people are pretty awesome and yet they are a highly isolationist culture when it comes to race.

not trolling but how so? as much as pc can cringe, i don't think there's something like that in place. but without that catch it's as nice joke.

btw there's a plugin for unblocking youtube dislike counts avaliable in all major browsers.
