Yeah, and that’s possible even if they take it for a joke that it is (or isn’t)


Yeah, the thing also has limited scope and requires some meddling to point to necessary includes as evidenced by the first issue, afair. And the code produced is subpar I heard
This is peak incompetence, I think, but it maybe shows that they see their mission not in preserving credible sources, but in breaking paywalls or something else entirely that is not forfeited by petty revenge edits
This is still my number one fear to hear about any archive, because altering the data when done properly may go undetected and lead people to wrong conclusions
