        that’s a good point, bandwidth is pretty expensive and wikipedia probably serves mondobytes more than archive.org, per whatever time unit.
        my guess is they’re still better funded and archive.org actually needs more money… also that musk talking shit about wikipedia is just going to drive up donations… the overlap between musk haters and wikipedia donors is probably pretty big…. especially compared to musk loafer lickers and wikipedia donors.
        ….
        i still think the internet archive is more crucial to democracy and human freedom because without it we get closer to a 1984 memory hole where old stories that don’t make certain institutions look good are burned away.
        a lot of times what people change in public is very telling of what they want to keep secret….
        accountability and such….
        but if i were going to donate to two charities it would be both of them, probably about equally.
        ….
