Can we start funding Archive.org to start scraping reddit like it did for 30% of Geocities or whatever because Reddit this kills the Reddit. Everything that matters is scattered to the winds already like when they killed Oink or The Silk Road or MySpace or AOL or whatever. Seriously though. Reddit is a trove. We should be making a directed effort to archive it as completely as we can. It is kind of their property. I guess. Just as much as the four sites left on the internet are largely populated with screen shots from the other sites... but yeah. I do not have the time to spearhead this, but I can set up a repo and push out an idea and I'd gladly dump some cash into Archive.org and I think a lot of other people would to.
I really really think if that's isn't already happening it should. The conversations on that platform are our cultural heritage and this scumbag shit can suck my fucking dick. Die in a fire quarterly capital sleep under a painting of a lion dickwheels. Gut me for my past again. I dare you.
I believe they started archiving reddit stuff in 2021, in reaction to a different PR disaster. There was definitely a huge push to archive more and faster in the last month though.
Yeah man. I've got some resources that I can use to sound the caves and map it. I was worried about Archive.org because it seems like they are under a lot of pressure and NEED to be defended but it's not a thing that has evolved. We as humans, not relying on someone else need to do several orders of magnitude better than Archive.org did with GeoCities because GeoCities is interesting but Reddit is a literal Library of Alexandria. Anyone who is not either contributing to existing efforts to archive or putting their own scrapers together must really be living a fuckin dream. Heh.
Whatever. Yeah, I'm going to support those archiving efforts and lately I make a lot of effort to be as unprofessional as I can be on Hacker News. Like say words like fuck and balls and dick hole and shit. Seriously. The cooling effect and hive mind isn't about liberals or red pill or whatever. The real shit is that they tricked us into a JS library treadmill.
A world without infinite capital can't keep the treadmill running. YC is part of it. All of y'all scope out my fully animated streaming point cloud composite captures of my fucking nuts. This forum and the rest. Quarterly SV chasing the dragon. Yeah man. FUCK. I wasted so much time with this garbage.
Anyone who reads this. I'm nuts ignore me. All this is dumb. Just keep looking for a new job with someone who will pay you well and definitely respects you and your attention... and when you look back at the best effort in your life and you see NOTHING of what you ever created standing up because all they did was steal from you.... fucking fuck this.
Fuck yes. Thank you. I've avoided checkin in because as you might be able to tell this is personal. I have never seen Archive Team before. I am so ready to get involved and put my body and resources against the wheel. FUCK THIS SHIT.
I really really think if that's isn't already happening it should. The conversations on that platform are our cultural heritage and this scumbag shit can suck my fucking dick. Die in a fire quarterly capital sleep under a painting of a lion dickwheels. Gut me for my past again. I dare you.
