      no idea

      but google cache is being shut down, then google announces they’ll be participating with IA.

      now this.

      really not a good time in history for our ability to easily document web history to be getting messed with.

        I feel like google cache has been gone for years. Remember when you could choose to see the cached version of almost any site that came up in your search results? I want to have nice things again.

          Yeah, Google Cache does seem like it has been gone for years. I can’t even recall the last time I was able to use it.

        Google shut down their cache and “teamed up” with IA to offload the work to someone else’s server, so they don’t pay for it.

      if assholes are willing to ransom a pediatric burns hospital for money, they would have the required lack of empathy to attack the IA.

      Horrible people like to see the greatest things humanity has ever done burn to the ground. That’s my guess.

        I mean in terms of a hacking accomplishment, it’s like you beat up a disabled person. 😐
