“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 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.
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.” ☠️
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.
they already faced cyber attacks now this? i mean, what can i say that hasn’t already been said? keep on fighting for democracy!
They also have a merch store: https://store.archive.org/
He is literally a foreign terrorist. Deport his ass!
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.
ironically hes from a country thats currently being influenced by russia too.
Time to donate again :)
Honest question…Can we just pop all that on a server in Canada or something? Couldn’t the devs make a deal with another country not bound by your IP law or “government” to save your history along with that of other countries as well?
I’m gonna ask my MP as well.
Canada is another country that claim to be cool but if there are image of burning kids from Gaza or reference to Israel genocide or war crimes they will delete the data themselves.
Best approach would be a decentralized archive.
The author of archive box makes a very strong case for the need for both decentralized and centralized archives like the internet archive: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-changelog-software-development-open-source/id341623264?i=1000678444105
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, until there is any actual examples of Canada banning images. Even in this case, it’s a loss of public funding rather than blocking. The internet archive is mostly privately funded.
Just move it somewhere and like right now or yesterday. Stop the destruction then figure out the permanent solution.
I’m Canadian and I fully agree. Having the discussion on how to protect history is important as we know. That’s just what first came to mind. I am also no tech wizard. Just an old man with ideas.
lemmy.world
Why, where is lemmy.world based?
Meaning the entire Internet archive.
He’s a loser. As are all his “dark enlightenment” apartheid neo-Nazi bootlickers :-)
Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.

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
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.

Oh gosh Internet archive saw a lot of shit but continued their work no mater what, I got most of old ROMs there its a great digital museum but wrong people in wrong places of power will ruin every beneficial things out there.
He is such a poser.
Musk should really be removed from power.
He should join a Mario game as the second player.
…i believe that, officially, he’s just a consultant: some woman whose name i can’t remembre is the nominal head of the department which nominally-isn’t-DOGE…
no one voted him in power in the first place, doesnt that go directly against democracy too?
Musk should be removed entirely. He has gone completely authoritarian.
Vacation to El Salvador. Permanent.
CECOT or gitmo.
Isn’t he an illegal? Oh he isn’t and you say he has papers? Oops! Sorry, cannot get him back, we don’t have that kind of power, shrug emoji!
I didn’t see any papers 👊 🇺🇸 🔥
he got in on a J-visa, so did his brother, he did something long enough so that him or his brother could permanently stay in the country. he allegedly was going to grad school? but quickly abandoned it once he got his citizenship.
