I see no reason to believe this is a false flag. If there's no evidence for it, why should we believe it to be so?

I'm really disappointed with the Internet Archive's level of unprofessionalism when it comes to any form of downtime whatsoever (let alone the blog). The monolithic one stop shop "Internet Library" can not even bother to put updates on their downtime page and instead directs their user base to social media platforms.

Call me a nut, but I feel the IA would work better if it was run by the Library of Congress, but then again that has it's own pitfalls.

That's the number one way of getting mad LLM disease. Feeding LLMs to LLMs.

All it took to easily replace the battery on my IPAQ PocketPC was another battery.

> It's like they just copy-pasted their production line processes, but clearly that's not necessary.

If they copy-pasted their production line processes the parts would cost less than $40 total.

I say this with the best of intentions. Please, seek medical attention and attempt to contact a doctor. You are seriously delusional and may require psychiatric medication.

> AN IRONIC DREAM OF A COMMON LANGUAGE FOR WOMEN IN THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Despite being written before LLMs, it really does seem like it was written by one from that title alone.

> And as for those who can't store their own password securely, they shouldn't be using Proton in the first place.

I think that the strongarming is a result of them actively trying to target the layman, them not wanting complaints from newbie users who lose their password. Not that that justifies it of course.

>The TCP traffic also adjusts parameters such as window sizes to emulate different operating systems, keeping the activity stealthy and difficult to pinpoint.

>The Time to Live (TTL) values, which dictate how long a packet stays on the network before it's discarded, are set between 120 and 200 to resemble realistic network hops.

Sounds like someone testing something nefarious.

Why are all the good browsers giving up all the hard work and good quality to become skins of bad browsers? Opera was a major fatality in this area.
