Facebook "un-archives" @internetarchive links

I replied in @zittrain's thread, to see if Facebook would be fooled by a @waybackmachine version of .au news site:

abc.net.au/news/2021-02-1…

very late #WebArchiveWednesday ;-)
Facebook would not let me post the original URI, but did accept links to copies in the @waybackmachine and @archiveis

Replaying:

web.archive.org/web/2021021816…

starts ok but ends up redirecting to:

web.archive.org/web/2021021816…
We haven't explored why the replay of abc.net.au is doing this, but .js is always the villain.

Posting the correct causes Facebook to swap the @waybackmachine URL back to the original AMP URL. So clearly Facebook knows about IA, but not @archiveis. And Facebook is only smart enough to do string matching on "web.archive.org", not #Memento

Web archives (@internetarchive @archiveis @permacc) are not replaying Twitter's disclaimer for Trump's tweet.

For reference, here is the live web representation for both the acct page & the individual tweet, plus the link to the live web tweet:

@WebSciDL will be represented by:

* @acnwala

We'll be presenting 3 full papers, 1 poster, and 2 #WADL2019 workshop presentations.

9.6 Million Links in Source Code Comments: Purpose, Evolution, and Decay
arxiv.org/abs/1901.07440

after quick read:

* ~80% of sw repos have >=1 URL in comments

* ~81% of links are still 200 (19% mix of 404, 500, 403, 405)

* expected decay nums; 1st study of links in comments?
What I didn't see:

* checking for "soft 404s" - 200s that say "can't find record" doi.org/10.1145/988672…

* content drift - still 200 but aboutness changed doi.org/10.1371/journa… (cited, but for something else)

* normalizing for time e.g, link_age = 1 day vs link_age = 1 year
Also appears that they fixed links in a method similar to "Moved but not gone: an evaluation of real-time methods for discovering replacement web pages" -- using #mementos to generate keywords to find new URL on live web (vs. linking to archived copy)

#JCDL2018 seems like a good time to announce recent @WebSciDL comings and goings.

Present at @jdl2018 we're happy to have:
* 2 faculty
* 2 incoming faculty (!)
* 6 students
* 3 alumni

@grantcatkins (BS&MS 2018) graduated and is doing a six month internship at @LosAlamosNatLab, working with @hvdsomp & @mart1nkle1n.
We're hopeful his time at LANL will inspire him to get his PhD as well!
@johnaberlin (BS 2015, MS 2018) has joined @rhizome to be a @webrecorder
back end developer. We're also hopeful he'll return for a PhD at some
point, but we're excited we'll be able to collaborate w/ him.
