Edit: Yes that’s clearly an archived website and not a file to direct download, but that same if_ banner bypass trick works just the same for individual file downloads.

You can follow that link, it’s perfectly safe, and rather funny no less. It links to the archive…
Note the if_ after the date/time code. That bypasses their banner. None of my links are anywhere on the frontend of the archive, you literally have to know every link to find my archives.
And most of my archives aren’t even of websites, most of them are direct file downloads of older operating systems and games and stuff. Not like I’m about to share any of those here though.
I’ve been doing that for years and they haven’t found or removed a single thing I’ve archived. If they ever do, well so be it, but none of it is on the frontend, and the links are so obscure that there’s basically zero chance of anyone just randomly guessing them.
Funny you’d say that. If you manipulate the link and add if_ or fw_ after the date code, you can most certainly download files directly from the wayback machine.
Look towards the bottom of the page, ‘Save Page Now’
Snapshot feature. Apparently you’re not familiar with it.
I don’t even have an account silly. Think I’m stupid enough to do that?
Never heard of the snapshot feature have ya?
I’ve got terabytes of things archived, still there.
Look at this fat cat over here that can afford pepper spray…
Yes, I know. The point is that people seeking privacy eventually won’t be able to use their banking apps and other online financial accounts unless they’re signed into Google Play to ‘authenticate’ the app.
AKA force you into letting them steal more of your private info…
Okay. Then either use older backup versions of those apps before the requirement of the Play Store, or just quit using those apps and services and switch to less enshittified apps and services.
Easier said than done these days, I know…
No, that’s the urinal silly!
Shut the door, or close the window. Which came first, Doors or Windows?.. 🤔
That depends on the direction of the opening. Shut up means basically the same thing as shut down, but the hinged part operates in the opposite direction.
Also, didn’t the EU declare that Apple needs to allow other app stores on their devices?
This seems like a bonehead move all around…
Spez (or one of their admin monkeys) perma-banned me from Reddit after like 7 years, for of all stupid things, posting actual facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not A Flamethrower” contraption.
Wasn’t any hate speech. Wasn’t misinformation, I even posted reference links. Wasn’t anything inappropriate or gory. Just straight up facts.
That was not all that long before Elon bought Xhitter.
Gotta love the irony huh? Fuck Spez and Musk.
Indeed, and understandable. Modern AI does tend to do fairly well these days, but obviously no system is ever going to be perfect.
Not even our own ears are perfect. That’s why humans have the sense to ask questions sometimes, like “Hold up, I didn’t understand you, what did you just say?”
And if you check my other comments, you’ll catch an interesting story of mine over the misunderstanding of a simple spoken vowel…
Meh, true that. Hell, I dunno how to properly cross post on Lemmy, nor do I bother doing that anyways so whatever. 🤷♂️
Perhaps 🤷♂️
In case you don’t trust TinyURL, which I totally wouldn’t blame you, that’s a short link to a ~1MB low quality archived version of Elon Musk Eating Toilets…
They’d have to find my archives first, absolutely none of them are on the frontend. I don’t use the archive in any normal manner, and the links are effectively randomized so there’s no chance of just guessing any of my links.
I’ve been doing it for years and they haven’t pulled anything down yet.
