    That whole ‘nothing lasts forever’ thing isn’t because the changing internet standards, it’s because companies and websites choose to adopt those standards rather than stick with backwards compatibility.

    That won’t stand true with Google I’m afraid. They adapt quickly. Meta is probably quicker than them, but doesn’t have the user base Google has, so it really can’t dictate that much.

      I hardly care anymore myself. I’m learning more and more about the de-googled internet and finding myself with even more options, like anonymous, shared, unlimited, protected cloud storage capacity that even works from IE5 in HTML1.1

      Yes it’s a series of hacks, not your everyday approach, but I’m doing my part to keep the old internet ticking and archived as best as I can, with terabytes of data archived and accessible even on ancient potatoes.

        I just don’t have the time and the energy to do that any more. Too old and have a family now, which takes up most of my free time. The rest I spend here, on Lemmy.
