https://web.archive.org/web/20201031141621/thecodeangle.com/... Use archive.org. Google Cache loads pictures and scripts from the website itself. So when the website is down it won't look good.

A large (very very large) percentage of people are from India. Think of India's internet as America's internet from 2014. Everybody loves facebook here, there are 0 privacy laws.

Privacy built in... Oh fuck, wrong company
