I hope they both lose.

It is a common manipulative method of praising something right before landing a substantive blow on it as a way lending your argument credibility.

Yeah you clearly didn’t read the original article.

There is no “substantive blow”, he ends it with announcing that he will buy them a coffee.

“Gyrovague”, the author of the post we’re commenting under has for reasons unknown engaged in targeted harassment of the owner of “archive.today”. Now the owner of archive.today is attempting a rather lazy DoS attack against gyrovague.com. A rather mild response to gyrovague attempting to bring the archive.today owner physical harm by spreading potentially identifying information about them.

There’s really very little to be said about this whole thing besides that Gyrovague should try to be a less awful person in the future.

I disagree with any attempt to portray this as some sort of tiff between netizens. No, gyrovague is very clearly being attacked because whoever runs the archive got angry, scared, who knows, for someone doing journalism on them. Over two years later, too.

Their original article from 2023 totally endorses archive.today, and there is no doxxing happening there. According to the article linked in this post:

The post mentions three names/aliases linked to the site, but all of them had been dug up by previous sleuths and the blog post also concludes that they are all most likely aliases, so as far as “doxxing” goes, this wasn’t terribly effective.

And, having read that older article, I totally agree.

Since many many people use this archive service every day, there’s also justified and legitimate public interest.

No, whoever runs archive.today turned negative attention on themselves through their reactions. Keep in mind, they now not only DDOS but also manipulate archived pages to further disparage gyrovague.

It’s still happening. Even more so, as the owner of archive.xx now also manipulates archived pages.

A DMCA takedown, huh? Sounds a lot like what they did with Youtube-dl a few years ago. And ultimately lost. Both youtube-dl and yt-dlp are still (again) on github.

Let me guess: they’re really sorry.

I cannot fathom why such data breaches aren’t prosecuted as crimes of the company as well as the thieves.

This doesn’t happen because the hackers struck like a force of nature, but because the servers aren’t kept secure constantly. Because that would be more expensive.

It’s like a car company getting sued for making insecure cars. It’s not hard to wrap your head around.

Agreed, but I don’t think they can print that without risking prosecution.

Makes you think: wait, aren’t these all markers of a tyranny? The best kind of leading questions. All of them, but this one stood out to me because it’s such a classic, and also feels like an understatement:

Is your country a notorious bad actor in the Middle East?

Well, “starting a war and not knowing how to end it” is also classic USA.

That’s just a question of money.

100% passion fruit juice? I shudder.

I don’t know how the law is where you are, but around here there’s a clear and simple word for 100% juice. But we also have the “juice drink”. It’s a little sad because people who don’t bother with such things will fall for it over and over. But once you know the verbiage it’s simple enough.

What really fucks me up is how little juice there is in it, and how much fructose syrup. 😡 It’s possible to produce affordable drinks that don’t add any sugar. Apple or grape juice concentrate is cheap.

it would be waaay too concentrated

100% is 100%. But yeah, you probably wouldn’t like the taste.

Fair enough. That was part of the point.

I even made it bold for people like you.

The way that mayor displays empathy for car drivers and very obviously none for cyclists is really something. I won’t even go into details, his arguments are all shit.

Also, I bet they were complaining like hell about how expensive it was when it was built: $4million! And now it costs 3million to remove. As they say, the cruelty is the point.

In 2025, at least they had hot chicks posing with them. /s

(I believe the similarities between these images are very much intentional)

• A persistent failure to adequately treat inmates’ health issues with medicine beyond a single dose of Ibuprofen
• A proliferation of diagnoses for serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia that inmates had never suffered from before *
• An overall lack of sufficient calories and vegetables
• Verbal and physical abuse by guards
• Extreme temperatures
• Forced labor

* That’s the worst one IMO. They want to make these people disappear even if their fascist takeover does not go quite as planned. It’s planned. A failsafe. They go to the effort of “encouraging” doctors or even hiring those they know will do their bidding.

Nearly half? Sheesh.

Maybe it’s because most Europeans don’t have a strong opinion about X. I really don’t think it’s quite as popular here as in the USA. Which is also the reason many don’t know how unhinged the current admin is.

I mean this, and the one with the bunny and the two scared children, the senior with the coffee mug, and so many more… what will future genrations do with it? Write papers about it & put it in a museum.
