I keep wanting to do this for old sites, make like a personal mini IA. Besides just using wget or curl, any tips for pulling down useable complete websites from IA?

Would you then say that in general Open Source doesn't matter for almost everyone? Most people running Linux aren't serving 700 million customers or operating military killbots with it after all.

Somehow both things are true, and I don't know how we disentangle them. YouTube the site where people can dump videos is incredibly useful because there are visual tutorials for everything. YouTube the site where people form parasocial

That's a pretty fair characterization of the Roko's Basilisk crowd though, isn't it?
