Yesterday the site and its mirrors redirected to an eero page saying it was blocked because it was “dangerous.” Today it was a more general couldn’t connect page.

My eero router recently got an update which permanently blocks archive.ph . What a coincidence.

I used to think so. It’s ideologically sound except for allowing corporations the same free use as anyone else. There are plenty of forward thinking people who would never want to support the oppressive evil of massive technology corporations and would never intentionally help them. Then they publish free software and directly help them anyway. It’s not a coincidence that most “free” software is funded by the US tech industry who is directly benefited from it. I’m not sure of a way to change it that would help regular people faster than it helps private industry crush regular people.

If there was an internet meme based on the premise that somone is trying to play a record with a bent needle, I would probably need someone from the generation familiar with common phonograph problems to explain that to me. I didn’t know bent needles were a common problem for phonographs until I looked it up just now.

Israel would look very different if they didn’t have the total impunity the US provides especially recently. Everything the Israeli government has done has been the US’s responsibility for decades. The US doesn’t give Israel privileged treatment because they’ve been tricked. They do it because Israel is primarily their own colony that they want to see made permanent.

Here it is. The ultimate purpose of AI technology. Corporatism has all but eliminated any accountability by almost all Western leaders, and now there will be no accountability at all as long as this paradigm of implicitly trusting the most untrustworthy people in the world persists.

The nerve of CNBC to use the word “hoarding” and and not mention the actual cause of the problem being the declining wealth of the median household relative to wealth hoarders.

That is quite a headline. I just got on but that’s already enough internet for today.
