Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.
They don’t care about us that day they we have a problem and the solution is in a now defunct site. That doesn’t generate revenue. “When People search on Google they need to find what they need on a click on the ads”, the shareholders are saying
Google is actively working to close off the internet.
Thinking Google is “the internet” is probably part of the problem.
100% this. Google is killing Google. We just need to embrace that death and start using and promoting better alternatives.
Ecoisa!

Ahh yes, the classic “it’s not 100% good, so it’s 100% bad” thinking
More like “a company doesn’t do something out of the kindness of their own heart” thinking.
Maybe they are fantastic, but the idea of a company doing something positive for the world just by me using their product (for free) sounds outlandish.
Here are their financial reports.

The forest grows out, gets fat with wood and brush and stuff, then it all dies to a fire or whatever. Something new always rises, and I’m excited for the new growth
Google and netflix and stuff will eventually push people away and people will find something new to do with their time.
Whispers: “they’re trying to build a prison…” DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUNDUN

It wasn’t a full backup like archive.org but a broken text only view
