I won't be surprised if Archive.org ends up getting screwed at the end of this fight.
We need a new web! MaidSAFE Freenet Hypercore
MaidSAFE afaict is just another IPFS which you can pay to get your data hosted on.
HyperCore apparently got acquired and they are a company seeling solutions to businesses.
Freenet 2023 is a FOSS project. I'm watching the matrix server for a while. Ian says they're launching the network in 2 weeks. It is a decentralized data store + runtime. So while the original Freenet was analogous to disk, Freenet 2023 is analogous to an entire computer. See https://freenet.org/

#173Wild guess: Some PM got promoted for discovering that the Ads product could make more display revenue when people don't go to the cached page result.
Also the money saved from not serving cached goes into the $1-$10m retention bonuses paid to Brain and Deepmind software engineers https://www.theinformation.com/articles/googles-defense-agai...

#174The real reason for the change, in my opinion, is that the cache feature is used by many to bypass paywalls

MaidSAFE is far beyond either Freenet, Hypercore or IPFS.
You should read their primer: https://primer.safenetwork.org/
It's completely uncensorable and unstoppable.
They encrypt every chunk of data, using "self-encryption." They don't require a manual market for hosting (like IPFS) so people can't be intimidated into not hosting something.
They even have their own implementation of the DHT which removes IP addresses after the first hop, so you can't discover the whole network and DDOS it / block it (which is not true of HyperCore, IPFS, etc.)

#176Thankfully, if a page is cached you can still use the 'cache:' command to retrieve the cached version - e.g., cache: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
For how long?

Appending site:Reddit.com to everything bc Reddit search sucks
I personally am seeing issues with this too. Any time I search for something niche, and hence want some real world feedback, adding reddit to the search returns bot postings. Half the time you'll read comments that are fake reviews and the equivalent of Amazon bot reviews, in reddit comment form. I long for the internrt of old. Everything is enshittified
Brave Search usually put Reddit Posts on top. Furthermore the Reddit post answer are now visible right in the search engine, so no need for the Reddit tracking. The only issue is you can only see OP title Post and answers, but not OP full question.

Can you link the proof for the actual claims?

#179The Google of 20 years ago was a vastly superior product
the Internet of 10 years ago was vastly superior period
Re: Google search drops cache link from search results
#180extremely sad, but not surprising. i used webcache all of the time. good thing the internet archive still exists, but who knows how much longer that'll stay up.
