You’ve never seen a DNS poisoning attack have ya? I’ve seen Google infect systems just because they looked up a particular football game, because some bad actor somehow poisoned the DNS cache.
So no, “legit” sites aren’t always safe either.

So, aside from numerous other angry words I could say…
How is this going to affect incoming phone calls? Will I be able to at least talk with my friend, without having to hear ads the whole time because I was watching a video?
Just a friendly reminder, https://grayjay.app/ is a thing, screw the YouTube app.
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.
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.
Wanna watch a trick?

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.
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…
Oh shit…
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…
Fair enough. I was never a gun enthusiast, but my late father had like 5 different older guns I got to try out back in the day. 🤷♂️
I’ve never seen any warnings etched into guns before, but I haven’t seen any newer guns made since like the mid 90s.
All I’ve ever seen etched into guns was the brand name, ammo size, serial number, and where the safety button/switch is.
Well, yeah, but the gun is safe right? Right…
I’ve literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said “Do not use near fire or flame”, coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂
People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don’t see why guns aren’t required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷♂️
Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says “Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame”…
🤦♂️
Eat the rich!
I’ll take a #8, with fries please…
